What are people saying about Oahu

Lucinda_B, Jul 2026

Great tour-fun guide

We enjoyed the cultural activities, however the Polynesian Cultural Center really should be experienced as a separate tour. We didn’t have enough time to appreciate all of the areas. The same for Pearl Harbor/Arizona Memorial. To see all of the areas is also a full day. The Arizona Memorial was the only thing we visited and had already planned other visits during our stay to see the rest. During the tour we stopped for lunch at Shrimp the Bomb for Huli Huli chicken. It was the BEST chicken I’ve had, hands down. Dole was a bit rushed but we made ourselves happy about it with the Dole Whip. Thanks Johnny Aloha for a fun and interesting perspective on Hawaii!! I do recommend this tour. Johnny is a hoot!

Great experience

This was an amazing experience for my husband and I he was very reluctant to go but you guys made us feel calm and were very friendly provided us with plenty of information and facts about the sharks. We have been telling everyone they need to try it at least once.

The tour was very...

The tour was very informative. We learned a lot about Hawaiian culture and way of living. The scenery along the way was spectacular. Our driver explained what we were seeing as we went along. He made it all very interesting and we learned a lot. He also answered any questions people had along the way. Thanks very much for a wonderful day Uncle D.

Waikiki 2 Hours Friday Night Fireworks Catamaran Cruise

An Absolute Must-Do Catamaran Cruise with Pink Sails!

Our Pink Sails catamaran cruise was one of the highlights of our trip! It was the perfect mix of relaxation, breathtaking scenery, and fun. The crew was absolutely amazing—so friendly, personable, and genuinely made everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped on board. My kids had an incredible time, especially my 8-year-old. As soon as the music started, he was dancing with the biggest smile on his face. The crew even played one of his favorite songs, which completely made his day! Watching him have so much fun made the experience even more special and created a memory our family will never forget. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Hawaii, I can't recommend Pink Sails enough. Between the beautiful views, the relaxing atmosphere, and the outstanding crew, this cruise is an absolute must-do. We would book with them again in a heartbeat!

Oahu Circle Island Tour with Waimea Valley Waterfall

Iselda_R, Jul 2026

Perfect North Shore Tour for First-Time Visitors

This tour was fantastic, especially if it's your first time visiting Hawaii. It takes you along the beautiful North Shore and includes everything listed in the description. We drove past Diamond Head and stopped at several breathtaking beaches and scenic viewpoints. The shops were fun to explore, and the place where we stopped for lunch was excellent. My favorite part was visiting Waimea Valley Botanical Garden. It was absolutely breathtaking, and getting to swim beneath the waterfall made it even more memorable. Our driver was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information about the island throughout the tour. The only downside was that most of the stops were fairly short—usually about 20–30 minutes. Waimea Valley was a little longer, which I appreciated. That said, I understand there was a lot to see in one day. We ended up returning to a few of our favorite spots later in our trip so we could spend more time there. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting a great introduction to Oahu and the North Shore.

Amazing - best way to go to Hanama Bay

My wife and I love this trip out to Hanama Bay. We have been multiple times and taken our own car, taken a taxi, taken a 12 passenger bus, and none of these compared to the experience with Roberts luxury bus. Pick up. Was perfectly on time and we left right away. The lady who drove and narrated did an amazing job and was so interactive.

A wonderful turtle tour with Hawaii Nautical

Five stars for Hawaii Nautical! The entire crew—Captain Christopher, Kelsie, and Cat—were absolutely fantastic, exceptionally friendly, and so helpful throughout the trip. The ride out on their huge catamaran was incredibly smooth and comfortable as we headed out to see the sea turtles. The absolute highlight of the day was an unexpected surprise: the crew got word that a super rare whale shark was in the area. They didn't hesitate and quickly got us over there to see it, turning an already great day into an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend this amazing crew!

Premium Small-Group Oahu Circle Island Tour: Pali Wind Bath

Angela_M, Jun 2026

Best Way to Be Introduced to Oahu!

We are so happy to have booked this tour on the first full day of our trip! Even though it rained on us, the experience was amazing and our guide was incredibly informative, helpful, and fun. She showed us so many fun places we would never have otherwise seen and gave us excellent advice about the activities we had planned for the remainder of our trip. I can’t recommend this tour or our guide strongly enough. So thankful for this experience!!!

Calvin_B, May 2026

Great experience

Bring outfit to swim. It is not mandatory to swim, but you will be tempted to do so. I would also wear walking tennis shoes. Your feet will thank you. I hope your driver is Turk. He knew a lot about the history of the tour as well as general knowledge. He kept us in front of all the other tour busses so we did not have to wait in long lines

Kailua Bay, Oahu: Epic Kayak and Snorkel to Islands

Melanie_B, Apr 2026

Awesome Kayaking Adventure

We had such a great time kayaking from Kailua Beach to Na Mokulua island. The weather was perfect and the water was calm. The staff at Kailua Beach Adventures is so friendly and welcoming. They were very informative and helpful. It is five miles round trip, but you can take your time and stay on the island before heading back. The kayaks, safety vests, snorkeling gear and lunch were included in our package. We chose to do the self guided kayaking tour, but felt completely safe and informed before starting our adventure. We highly recommend booking your next excursion with Kailua Beach Adventures. They offer several options and packages. They also offer free onsite parking as well and their location is very easy to find. This was the highlight of our vacation.
