Hello and a BIG thank you for all the information I have read about. Last year I posted regarding parents trip and life got in the way of me continuing my research so I'm back again with only 2 months before their trip. They are a party of 8, all over 70 (celebrating their 50+ anniversaries together). They have already made their airfare and hotel reservations but would like some guidance on guided tours (as my father would be the only driver and he'd like to enjoy the sites). Would you recommend hiring someone with a van for them (unfortunately they are on a bit of a senior citizen budget..but not that low). I've been to Maui and Oahu (on honeymoon, so I was hapy to begin with) and I know reserving through the hotels for tours can be a bit pricey and somewhat disappointing (the gazillions of people at the luau in Oahu was, to say the least...YUCK). They are not disabled by any means, but are not up to alot of walking. They would like to have their itineraries done for them before they go so there's no thinking...not handholding, just prepared. I need your assistance. Of course Pearl Harbor definetely...but what else. Thanks, Carol

Something they would enjoy on Kauai is the Movie Tour. A van drives to sites where various movies were filmed while a clip of the movie is shown on a screen.
