The itinerary was good for the trip though I'd suggest reversing the order. The Big Island was challenging physically but also more rewarding in the endemics we were lucky to see. The accommodations ranged from excellent (Oahu - Kiamana Beach Hotel - beautiful beach, very nice common areas and restaurant as well as near to park and shopping/dining) to average (Big Island - Holiday Inn Express - rooms were fine but pool and common area were cramped, only crowded, small beaches nearby). Our guides, Chris and Jakob were top-notch: very knowledgeable, caring, fun to be with and intent on maximizing our viewings of species, especially endemics.
