“Kualoa ranch was great. Viator is BEYOND TERRIBLE. NEVER BOOK WITH THEM. Needed to change tour time, Viator told us that they had changed it, got to Kualoa and nothing had been changed.. We missed out on the tour, spent 1.5 hours on the phone with Viator, kept on hold for half of that and eventually was hung up on by the Viator operator. All with no resolution, complete waste of money and time. They should be shut down given other customers similar atrocious experiences”
