I would have like to tour the Botanical Gardens in Hilo. I would be interested in a tour from Kona to Hilo [not circle tour ]that includes more sightseeing in Hilo for my next trip to Hawaii.

Our driver was very informative. He added to a great time. He knew everything we asked about along the way. He certainly entertained us with his knowledge of everything. Everyone enjoyed his talks and he didn't miss anything. It was a long day and was so pleasant. Would do it again in a heart beat.

Make the orchid plant a stop everyday. Candy stop not very good. I love Tex's malasadas.

More stops, especially to landmarks etc. There were more stopovers for souvenirs and gifts.

I wish there were ways to stop to take photos of some of the more scenic vistas in Hawaii, rather than just rushing past them.

The time set aside for having lunch was waaaaaaay too early! 10:30a.m. is not lunch! Also the time alotted for lunch was too short and after eating there was no time to look around the area. And too bad because some people spotted a turtle in the tidepools and those who were eating (at 10:30am!)did not have time to go look at it before the bus departure. After they heard of the turtle sighting, they were disappointed not to have had time to go down to those tidepools to see it.

Too many gift shop stops and would rather see other main island attractions. Do want to say that our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.

Could have skipped the Candy Shop and possibly the Orchid Farm too
