Pleasant Offers Pre-Purchase Plan

Feb 05, 2004
Pleasant Holidays has launched a new program offering an updated list of Hawaii’s most popular activities for purchase before customers leave for the Islands. These optionals range from luaus and stage extravaganzas to helicopter and submarine tours. The advance purchasing option is considered to add convenience for customers.

When customers pre-purchase a sightseeing tour or activity for their Hawaii vacation, a voucher will be included in their travel documents. The voucher will then be exchanged for tickets at Pleasant’s Activity Desks located in 40 hotels throughout Hawaii.

“Pre-purchasing our optional activities saves our customers time since they don’t have to research each activity, buy the tickets when they arrive and make the arrangements to go,” explained Les Gargan, Pleasant Holidays Public Relations Manager. “When they pick up their tickets, our service reps are there to answer questions about transportation to each venue to make it a hassle-free operation.”

Commissionable to travel agents at 10 percent when pre-booked through Pleasant Holidays, the activities offered include many of Hawaii’s most popular, as well as a selection of new tours. Gargan noted that the activities are all carefully selected to appeal to different members of the family, from kids to seniors.

Included on Oahu are the Polynesian Cultural Center, Arizona Memorial/Honolulu City Tour, Germaine’s Luau, Atlantis Submarine, a new hiking/snorkeling/boogie boarding Eco Tour and a new waterfall/circle island tour.

On Maui, travelers can pre-book the Ulalena Maui Myth & Magic Show, Haleakala Sunrise Tour, a new La Perouse Dolphin Adventure and a new Sky-Trek trip to Hana. Kauai selections include a sunset champagne helicopter flight over Bali Hai, a new Wailua River/Waimea Canyon tour and a half-day Napali raft tour. New to the Big Island for pre-booking are the “Island Grill” sunset fun cruise and Circle of Fire Hilo helicopter tour.

Pleasant Holidays offers a wide range of travel packages to Hawaii, and nationwide airfares with discounts up to 50 percent off first class.
