Polynesian Adventure Tours to update fleet, branding
New and late model mini coaches have been ordered and in recent days shipments of the vehicles have begun arriving on the four Hawaiian Islands served by the operation.

Poly Ad provides ground transportation for the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii and is celebrating its 40th anniversary year.

Polynesian Adventure Tours (Poly Ad), a leading Hawaii ground transportation company providing charter, sightseeing, and cruise company shore excursions, has embarked on a fleet modernization program under the direction of its new owners, Transportation Charter Services (TCS).
New and late model mini coaches have been ordered and in recent days shipments of the vehicles have begun arriving on the four Hawaiian Islands served by Poly Ad. Additional vehicle shipments will arrive in December and through the first quarter of 2018.
New visual branding at Poly Ad is evident in its expanding fleet of both white and black vehicles featuring updated logos and color scheme. The branding visually conveys the sister company relationship of Poly Ad and TCS, which is one of the leading motor coach companies in the Los Angeles and Orange County regions and has a division in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Poly Ad has the distinction of being Hawaii's exclusive Gray Line licensee.
"The new look updates Poly Ad's branding and also evokes the company's 40 years of experience serving visitors in the islands," said Terry Fischer, president of Poly Ad and TCS. "Poly Ad's new branding also conveys the relationship with its sister company, TCS."
Poly Ad provides ground transportation for the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii and is celebrating its 40th anniversary year. It operates charters, cruise company shore excursions, and sightseeing tours on Oahu, including Pearl Harbor tours and comprehensive Circle Island tours, in addition to a range of neighbor island tours.
Transportation Charter Services (TCS) has operated in the Los Angeles and Orange County metropolitan areas since 1984, providing charter bus and group transportation services to discerning clients. It also has a division in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
