Overman Aloha Hawaiian Vacations should not be mixed up with Aloha Hawaii Tours or Hawaii Aloha Travel. Overman AHV is a legitimate company, and we booked the 11-day four island package, as I do not have time to do all the research for 11 days and spend hours booking interisland flights. This is also a bucket list destination, so we wanted to see as much as possible in one trip, and this package did just that, as well as exceeded my expectations.
I have never used a travel agency before. From start to finish this was easy. Our whole trip was flawlessly arranged. You pick your hotel and excursions, based on how much you want to do and spend. We did everything on the itinerary, and it was very busy, but every single day was awesome. This package has you stay on the island of Oahu in Waikiki and the interisland trips are to Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. Inter island flights do leave early and return flights are at 9pm so you can get the most out of a one day visit. You are inside your rental Jeep by 9:10am and AHV gives you a list of recommended sights to see. This was the only research I did, but we found their suggestions to be what everyone on the internet raves about. Yes, you will wish you had more time on each island, but we did not want to pack up our stuff every few days and change hotels. The other pro is their excursions included snorkeling, light hiking, rainforest, volcano, and lots of learning about Hawaii and her beautiful people and culture.
We recommend the hotel Outrigger Reef with the Voyager 47 Club pass for light breakfast and late afternoon beverages and small bites. Their food is delicious. The club ocean front rooms are literally right on the ocean with an outdoor shower. The gym is fabulous! There's a reef so you may want to wear water shoes when swimming and you can buy snorkel gear right across the street in a kit. We saw fish, rays, seals, turtles, sea cucumbers and urchins. At high tide, the waves lap the hotel’s exterior and there’s a beach at low tide. We loved taking long beach walks here!
For the tours, we enjoyed the 5-course dinner cruise, as the luau dinner show had dancers right next to you and the lobster and steak dinner were delicious. Definitely go to the luau buffet dinner on the 2nd day as it was right on the water by the tower and you watch the sunset while enjoying a great show. Pearl Harbor is a one day tour, but you may want to purchase another day to really spend time here to pay homage. Definitely do the morning snorkel, but I recommend reserving a wetsuit to be able to swim longer based on where you come from. Hanauma Bay is beautiful and has a nice beach. The Honolulu island tour, Diamond Head, and the rainforest waterfall tours were beautiful ways to spend the day. The agency gives you great advice on each voucher for all the tours and dining reservations.
We had a fabulous experience! The team had everything arranged for the perfect island hop! Thank you for such a great vacation AHV!
