I’ve been listening to this show for about 4 months and figured I’d give it a nice review. Although I didn’t use Bruce to book my trip (I used points and miles because my husband rakes up a ton for business travel) I still find Bruce’s tips timely and informative. I think he is a great podcast...Read full review »

Excellent podcast for newcomers planning vacations, as well as for regular visitors who are just looking for updates on what is going on in Hawaii. Info on hotels, tours, activities, you name it.

My wife and I were 3 weeks from a trip to the UK, except for the fact my wife still didn’t have her renewed passport. The contingency plan was to change flights and go to Hawaii. I found this Podcast and listened as much as possible. Although we ended up making it to the UK, I still find myself...Read full review »

My family is originally from Hawaii, but we don’t make it back as often as I’d like. HVC is a fun, bite-sized podcast that helps me feel connected to, and a bit updated with, the islands. Keep up the great work Bruce!

Bruce and Yaling began this podcast before anyone else was doing a Hawaiian travel podcast. They started their Hawaii-focused travel agency almost 20 years ago. Their depth of knowledge and experience in Hawaiian travel, podcasting, and Hawaii in general makes this by far the best podcast for...Read full review »

I listen to this podcast every week. Just returned from Hawaii and this weeks had bad information in it.

Even if you have the QR code, you ahve to stand in line when you get to hawaii...Read full review »

Interesting podcast but growing tired of all the vaccine talk. It’s one thing to talk about Hawaii’s regulations but it’s annoying listening to constant pushing to get the vaccine. It’s more than a political decision. Some people have health reasons to not get it.

I am blessed that I am able to visit Hawaii every other year for a few weeks at a time. One of things I love to do is listen to this podcast to help me get in the mood for my trip. They have great tips and if you are going for the first time I would definitely recommend booking through them.

But hard to follow with all of the over-talking. Let each other speak. Let your GUEST speak. Save your interjections and comments for an appropriate time to speak. Sorry but I found it off-putting.

I called in at a busy time, not to do a booking but to ask him a few questions for a research project at school. Aloha Bruce graciously took the time to answer my questions in depth - super appreciative of him for that. The podcast has also been really informative - hoping to book a trip soon!

I’ve listened to many of the episodes. Most podcasts I listen to have a pitch for a product or service. So the mention of their travel and tour services in this podcast is no big deal. I enjoy the podcasts and have learned quite a bit about Hawaii travel. In fact I’m planning a trip for next year!
