    The name says it all... Whenever it's time for that escape for a vacation...this is where many of us crave to go, Las Vegas. Maybe it's to gamble...maybe it's for those TJ's snacks...whatever it is Las Vegas is nothing like what we have here at home and Vacations Hawaii is the place that many of us rely on to get it all together in one package deal. You know when it's time you jump on their website to see the dates which clearly lists the prices and availability even to the point of selecting your seats are all conveniently done online...except me...sigh! For some reason I go through the whole process and unable to book it so I must go to the office which is located in the Ala Moana Pacific Center ninth floor (for the ninth island lol!) which used to be home to Shokudo on the ground floor and is right beside Ala Moana Center so parking is super easy as we all know. It's been since probably 2018 since my last trip so already excited and ready the staff there was very friendly and helpful to book my trip and it took just moments which was so much appreciated, this was really for mom but we both are so excited and the whole process couldn't be any more easier. The whole trip was fantastic though getting to the airport is recommended for the whole check in as they do use Hawaiian Airlines but are booked at a separate location so the single line could get long, and our gate was literally to the very back of the airport and the longest walk I've ever done, they do take care of your luggage and all the transportation and one of the reasons mom prefers using them and as long she's happy so am I and the whole package is inclusive so that you can focus on your journey. Thank you!

    Our trip to Las Vegas couldn't have been any better without Vacations Hawaii. We booked with them on October of 2021 for January 2022. This was the package deal of 5 nights hotel, free transportation to hotel and back to airport after trip, with free meals that we booked on their location at Ala Moana Pacific Center. They are located at the very top parking structure of the Ala Moana mall facing in front of Macy's and Lucky Strike. This was our first time booking with them and we were skeptical within the first month after booking our trip because somehow we got a call basically saying Omni Flight is no longer taking us which means we either have to cancel with refund or get seated with Hawaiian Airlines BUT there's a catch. The gag is, they told us my bf and I they wouldn't know if we would be able to sit with each other and I was like ugh whatever that is totally fine as long as we get to the destination. Also the flight times have changed, instead of a afternoon to night flight, it jumped to a morning to noon flight. I didn't want to make a big deal with our transportation being jumped to another airline but man, communication was not so good in the beginning. It was fine anyway being seated together or not, I didn't care. But besides that, finally it was the day of the flight. Since this was our first time, we didn't know how it'd be like going through airport and out. We got to the airport and there were about 3 employees under the sign "Vacations Hawaii" wearing purple. They helped us go through everything and that went very smoothly, couldn't have made it a much better experience. Same with getting off of Las Vegas, there were already employees ready to get us all in the same bus to our hotel destination which was the California Hotel for us. I ABSOLUTELY love their package deal. I mean you get the help to the airport and back, then the free transportation to hotel, on top of that the FREE meals only if you're 21+. We loved it. Thank you Vacations Hawaii!

    Whoop whoop I was finally able to schedule a trip to Vegas that I had won at Christmas time in 2020 . Thank you Tanioka's Seafoods and Catering for such an amazing prize... Unfortunately I won a fabulous trip to Vegas during the COVID pandemic . Vacations Hawaii was great about honoring my prize and working around the pandemic. Recently I decided it's time to re-visit the 9th island. I contacted Vacation's Hawaii to find out exactly what I needed to do to schedule my trip. Unfortunately Vacations Hawaii as a company had to come up with a way to deal with all the vacation prizes people had won during the pandemic and set an end date of September 2022 for redemption. Yikes here I thought I had until Into 2023.... When I contacted Vacations Hawaii twice before the expiration date of my prize I was assured by two different agents that my prize would be honored up to 14 months past the expiration date. Cool.... In the beginning my conversation with the rep was difficult. I do understand their concerns and their all around dilemma. I was quickly contacted by Kevin who had the unfortunate job of telling winners about the new restrictions. I appreciated his eagerness to help me, but was sad about the situation he was in. I'm sure there are many happy winners who have no idea about this revelation. I was eventuality contacted by Ross who from the beginning understood my situation and my concerns about scheduling time off from work. Ross and Kevin went out of their way to help me work around the restrictions and plan my trip around my hectic work schedule. I have never used a travel agent to book vacations in the past and this can be a very stressful task. Vacations Hawaii was fantastic. Their tours are complete and well planned and the staff was Awesome. Everyone is so friendly and their clear goal is that their customers have the greatest experience and enjoy their vacations. It didn't matter that my booking was at no cost. They treated me just like any other customer. This was amazing. I respect their commitment to their customers and will definitely be booking more vacations in the near future. Thank you Ross and Kevin for an amazing experience and I am looking forward to my visit to the 9th island....

    This concept of the all-inclusive air, shuttle service, hotel, meals, purple shirted escorters and an office in the Main St hotel makes it a win-win for value and service. Sometimes, the packages are cheaper than an only one round trip fare to Vegas on other carriers. I like to book best over their website where I can view dates, times, prices and air seats. I can also apply any discounts before purchase. All papers get mailed to you. One checks into the airport by OMNI and you're set. Its best for people who have time, don't necessarily need a car and will be spending most of their time in Downtown.

    Awesome awesome service! I made an appointment for a custom package. Dana T helped me. He treated me like I was in first class. Gave really insightful tips and recommendations!!! Donna was great, too. She didn't help me, but I could hear her servicing a client on the phone. Awesome staff!

    Business is located at Ala Moana Pacific Building. Parking at Ala Moana Shopping Center or in the building. There are about 4 elevators. For high tech elevator, press the floor for Vacations Hawaii. Elevator will come down. At Vacations Hawaii, pick a number so an employee can call you when he/she area available.

    They don't take charge cards over the phone, but the Las Vegas package deals are hard to beat. That's why I have to drive to Ala Moana Pacific Center where they are located on the 9th floor. Parking is free at the Ala Moana Shopping Center - yay! For $700 or so, you get round trip airfare, room for 4 nights, 3 meals a day, transportation to and from the hotel, and baggage service to and from your room. My aunties and mom always select the California Hotel in the Downtown area although the Boyd properties include Main Street Station and the Fremont Hotel. I also have stayed at the Orleans, Gold Coast, and Sam's Town, but not with the package deal. The Vacations Hawaii escorts wear purple uniform tops and do their best to be helpful. Navigation through the Vegas airport terminal can be tricky for customers, especially the Senior Citizens. Yes, most of the clientele are Kupuna. There are many wheelchairs, canes, and walkers being utilized. Some bring their oxygen tanks on wheels, but they're all ready to have a good time! One of the only complaints that I have is the $25 baggage fee. I'm protesting. This extra charge ($50 total for round trip) should be buried in the overall cost. It's not, so I'll just continue to do carryon. ..then I won't have room in my bag for shopping! Prevention is a good thing! Notes: we ask for adjoining rooms, close to the elevator, and on a lower floor in the "new tower" (closer to the restaurant - Market Street Cafe).

We both paid for Business Class upgrades; we were booked on different airlines with different itineraries. Wrong information given to us. Communication was poor - excuses, delays and no accountability or taking responsibility. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Non-Stop Travel. If you want clear communication and a company that actually listens, look elsewhere. If you are considering an Oceania cruise, book directly with Oceania.

Rail Pass are very easy and are able to purchase up to 90 before you need to redeem for use I would suggest checking weekly as rates will reflect on yen rates so being patient and lucky would be in your favor as well. Ordering it online was a bit different from the other location that I usually go to but is a convenience if it's a method you'd refer. Once paid you get a email notice and ready for pick up anytime I found out that they do have wifi rental as well that you're able to pick up at the Honolulu Office but the staff here is very nice and fluent in both English and Japanese which was very helpful for both me and mom making it a cool place to get what you need.

It's definitely more pricy to rent here at their Ala Moana location (~$50 for 5 days) than what the Japan-based airport firms offer (using the current favorable Yen rate of Y145.7271 per $1 US) but you have the added benefit of picking up and returning the device here on Oahu. You do have to fight the H-1/Nimitz traffic which is absent in Japan, so that element also should be considered. Definitely worth doing a cost/benefit comparison and then decide for yourself.

As soon as I book my flight what you need to do immediately is reserve a WiFi device as it gets sold out very fast as is very much needed whenever you're doing a search for train routes and is amazing with unlimited data and are able to connect multiple devices. Plans go by 7, 14, 21 and 30 days for the basic though I always go with the Premium which comes insurance and external batter for just $5-$10 extra. As we come out of Covid the airport transfer I used to purchase in advance here is no longer available not by HIS but offered by the vendor in Japan so I'll decided that upon arrival but one thing that will certainly change is the JR Rail Pass which will drastically increase +70% and with the incredible yen rate I've decided to purchase the rail pass before the huge increase. You do need to bring your passport to purchase JR Rail pass and the increase will take place Oct 1st 2023 so get it in September and you're able to hold on to it for 90 before you need to redeem it in Japan. Follow them on Instagram @hishawaii as they to have a link to their site with all information and JR Rail prices as well and even some activities in Japan or any advice you may need regarding Japan.

    I've traveled all over Asia during the past 20 years and so far had the best experience with Air &…read moreSea Travel. Compared to other travel agencies I've tried... Air & Sea Travel seemed to always give me the best "bang for the buck". They manage to find the best hotels and restaurants one can find at a fair price. So far the Air & Sea Tour Leaders who accompany the group on the tour have been courteous, organized, and careful. They look out after everyone in the group and always give helpful "heads up" suggestions about the place we are visiting next... and sometimes suggest what items are good to buy and bring home. I've done some Air & Sea tour packages going to Japan and China. I just recently came back from the Silk Road Xinjiang Tour and had a blast. For this tour, we had IMO the best local guide, her name is Risa. She spoke passionately about Uyghur culture and was one of the few local guides that I did not notice anyone falling asleep to on the bus (at least from where I was sitting in the back of the bus). In contrast with other different tours... the local guide will speak in a monotone voice and give text-book like lectures on the bus. People will then start to tune out and fall asleep. The company tour leader would then have to interrupt and tell a joke to wake everyone up. Pleasantly... this was not the case with Risa and this Air & Sea Xinjiang tour. The group also found Risa fun to hang out with on this tour. The Air & Sea Tour leader for this particular Silk Road Xinjiang tour, Derrick K., was outstanding and organized. He kept everything together like super glue and made things go as smoothly as possible. Having great local guides and tour leaders are what help make any tour successful. Actually... all of the other Air & Sea Tour leaders on my previous trips (Ryan, Mike, Derick S.) were outstanding as well. What I like about Air & Sea overall is that their tour itineraries are carefully thought out. They don't try to cram too much stuff into one day like other companies do as that can be tiring. Air & Sea tours give one the experience to try foods that are not usually found in Honolulu. I've been on their Tibet, Kyushu, Hokkaido, Harbin, Niigata, and lately Xinjiang tours. All were great. These Air & Sea tours have been a culturally educational and fun experience for me.

    First time tour with Air & Sea, refer by friends and also YELP. I've been on other tours...NST…read more This is the best , been to Japan 3-times. Went on a shopping and eating tour in Tokyo 8-days, was awesome. The tour guide Derrick was really good, making sure everyone is having a good time, he really tried to accommodate your wishes to visit other areas if possible. Mr. Obasan our Japanese tour guide was also good too, letting us know what to expect at every destination. This will be my new travel agency for future tours. Only one complaint...Flying with Hawaiian Air wasn't a good experience, especially when I flew 1st Class, I wish we flew JAL or ANA. Aloha, Derek
