Polynesian Adventure Tours, LLC (Poly Ad) was established on Oahu by Bob George and Don Brown in 1977. The company began with the innovative idea that utilized drivers as both narrators and guides.

Poly Ad’s Maui operation opened in 1987, and shortly after the business was expanded to the Big Island and Kauai. 

Norwegian Cruise Line acquired Poly Ad in 2004 in order to service its shore excursion requirements throughout its port calls state-wide.  Through the growth in the shore excursion segment as well as charter and tour business, Poly Ad has since increased its fleet and now has 177 vehicles statewide. The company transports half a million people a year on 105 motorcoaches, 65 mini buses, and 7 open-air double-decker buses.

Today, Poly Ad provides the best tour and transportation services in the Hawaiian Islands, offering visitors truly unique and memorable experiences. 

With fleets on the four major Hawaiian Islands, Poly Ad is ready to service groups looking to visit all of the islands during their stay. Every island is a unique experience waiting to be explored. Our charter department specializes in custom charters to must-see-sites and even to locations off the beaten-path. Our charter services include airport transfers, baggage services, greeting services and regularly scheduled sightseeing tours. 

On Oahu, we have the best selection of Pearl Harbor sightseeing tours that range from comprehensive all day tours to combo tours which include Honolulu’s most famous locales. Our guests explore the source of creation on the Big Island of Hawaii at Volcanoes National Park where they stroll through an ancient lava tube and observe Halemaumau Crater with its billowing steam cloud. On Kauai, the Garden Isle, guests marvel at the steep valleys of the Waimea Canyon and cruise down the Wailua River on an open air boat. The Movie Adventure tour visits the film locations of many Hollywood Blockbusters. On Maui, Poly Ad offers three tours showcasing majestic Haleakala – at sunrise, sunset and a Best of Hawaii combo tour that includes central Maui and the majestic Iao Needle.

As Hawaii’s sole licensee of Gray Line Worldwide, Poly Ad also operates under the brand name of “Gray Line Hawaii” and benefits from the extremely high name recognition of the affiliation. Gray Line has a 116-year reputation for offering enjoyable and reliable sightseeing tours throughout the world. Our tours are promoted and sold on PolyAdHawaiiTours.com, GrayLineHawaii.com as well as the worldwide GrayLine.com site.

Luau Kalamaku, a truly Hawaiian experience on the island of Kauai operates under Poly Ad’s management. The theatrical luau held on Tuesday and Friday evenings at historic Kilohana Plantation, features a captivating theatrical performance, a delicious buffet of local favorites and so much more!

Next year is Poly Ad’s 40th Anniversary Year. In celebration, we’ll be featuring a number of 40th anniversary specials throughout the year!
