Such an informative tour! - Susan did a fantastic job of relaying Hawaiian history to us during this one hour tour. We only covered a short distance and made several long stops in shaded places while she spoke and pointed out historic sights. I like that she did all the talking while we were stopped because it was a big group and it would have been hard to hear otherwise. I highly recommend this tour!!
