Roberts Hawaii Offers Travel Agents 10 percent Commission For Hawaii Shore Excursions

Jul 24, 2008

Roberts Hawaii, the largest tour and transportation company in Hawaii, now offers travel agents 10 percent commission on shore excursion bookings for cruise ship passengers traveling to the islands. The Hawaii tours and activities have comparable itineraries and offer lower prices than those being offered by many cruise ship companies.

With their own usernames and passwords, travel agents can easily book tours online, and commission checks are just a click away. Roberts Hawaii shore excursions also come with a guarantee of quality and reliable service proven during the company’s 65 years of serving visitors. To book Roberts Hawaii shore excursions, go to www.gorabbitgo.com and click on “partners link” at the bottom of the page; or call toll free 800-918-5549.

This offer is available to travel agents and their customers aboard cruise ships from Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. making port calls in Hawaii.
“Cruise lines usually offer commissions only on cabin bookings and not land excursions, so we are offering agents an unprecedented opportunity to boost earnings while offering a great travel experience at lower costs for their customers,” said Roy Pfund, Vice President, Roberts Hawaii. “With hotels and airlines cutting back on commissions, we hope this will help our partners in the travel industry.”

Examples of shore excursions on Oahu include tours of Pearl Harbor and the famous surfing sites of the North Shore as well as tickets to the spectacular Magic of Polynesia show in Waikiki.   On Maui, passengers can go above the clouds to Haleakala crater, or enjoy the winding roads that lead to heavenly Hana. On Kauai, Waimea Canyon and the Wailua River offer unforgettable beauty. On the Big Island of Hawaii, Roberts offers excursions to Volcanoes National Park with the active lava flows from the eruption of Kilauea as well as Rainbow Falls, or historic Kona. Tour participants are transported to and from their ports with the confidence of Roberts Hawaii’s guarantee of value and reliability.  There is a full refund if a ship is detained from making port, with a promise to meet all ships at the pier and return before the ship sailing schedule.
