If you don't mind giving up some of your vacation time to listen to a timeshare presentation, you can get pretty good discounts for all sorts of tours, rides, excursions, etc.

auntiemaria is right, all you have to do is go to one of those presentations for 1 1/2 hours (be careful, I ended up buying the time share )if you are visiting another island I would recommend to do the helicopter in Maui it is truly out of this world specially if you go to the volcanoes. The good about doing the presentation you are not limited to one activity we got tickets to go horsebackriding, luau, and helicopter ride. Good luck

presentations last about 1 1/2 hours and the savings are good I think I saved about $100.00 per person for the ride we did the Maui one hour through the entire island, and as I mentioned before you get to save in about different activities not limited to one, you can go snorkling, luau, kayaking, etc. lots of luck.

Just be careful not to buy a timeshare. You will pay too much guaranteed.

Go to the presentation but do not buy. If after you hear the presentation, you really are interested, then know you can find one at the same place on ebay for 1/10 of the price they are asking.

Check around and see which time share offers you the best perks. There are a TON of them to go to and they all offer something. If you give up 1 few hrs you can fit in 2 of them and get some nice things.

Just be firm, at 90 minutes tell them that is the time limit and you have an appt. the law states that they can't keep you for more than 90 minutes.

Try to take Blue Hawaiian. They have only had 1 crash and actually they are the safest. It is the carrier that all the filming crews choose when they are filming. They are the most expensive but the best choppers, views, noise reduction, etc.

Have a great flight.

Quoting greenrph:

Uhhhh, no. I'm pretty sure everyone will agree that the safest heli-tour companies, are the ones which have _never_ had a crash.

Here on Kaua`i, that would definitely be Air Kaua`i.
