What are people saying about Oahu

Small-Group Oahu Circle Island Tour with Professional Photography

Lauren_S, Oct 2026

10/10 Oahu Tour

What an amazing tour, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a full day seeing Oahu! I went as a solo traveler and I felt safe and comfortable during my time with the group. My guide, Tyrone, was the best guide anyone could ask for. He was knowledgable, personable, and an overall great person to be around; if you get him as your guide, just know you’re in for a fun time! The hotel pickup was another great aspect to this tour as you have the convenience of being picked up and dropped off at your hotel rather than having to go to a meeting point. If you’re looking for a smaller group that offers you a more exclusive tour, look no further and book this tour ASAP!

Diamond Head Hiking Tour with Tickets and Shuttle Included

Janet_K, Oct 2026

This hike is so worth it. The view from the top is amazing.

Don’t be afraid of the staircase. Since Covid, they have added a secondary route that takes you around volcano instead of having to go all the way up the stairs. Although you still have some stairs, it’s not nearly as grueling for those of us with older legs and older knees. On top of that, it gives you a lot more opportunities of a beautiful view on your way up! Any money you now have to spend to claim Diamondhead is still a positive because the money is used to continue the beautification.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Experience Departing from Oahu

Cameron_B, Oct 2026

Greet tour but Viator was vague in directions

Kevin was a great guide and very helpful and accommodating. My only issue is that through Victor often the directions were unclear or vague which created a mixup that had nothing to do with the tour company. I’ve done a dozen Viator linked tours around the world, and I consistently see this as a problem.

Oahu Day Tour with Waterfalls Food Trucks and Lookout Points

Rob_S, Sep 2026

Wonderful overview of the island

A very well paced tour giving a good overall feel for the island. Andrew, our guide, was informative, helpful and attentive throughout the day and assisted in taking some wonderful photos. Perfect times stop at coffee plantation for coffee and a snack to kick start the morning. Waimea Valley for a picturesque swim with waterfall as a backdrop was very memorable. Food truck stop food was excellent. Overall a great trip and highly recommended

Oahu Circle Island Tour with Waimea Valley Waterfall

Ellen_F, Aug 2026

Great tour with lots of information and sights

John H did a wonderful job sharing his vast knowledge and keeping us on track. John J was a fabulous driver! Time at the falls could be a little longer as it’s a beautiful park. Time at the beach (near Jurassic Park area) could be shorter as well as the fruit stand. But overall a wonderful tour. Power was out at Dole plantation, but John had a backup that worked well.

Waikiki 2 Hours Friday Night Fireworks Catamaran Cruise

Taylor_G, Aug 2026

Amazing crew and great time!

Alexio caymo and shaymus We’re amazing we went out the day before Lala the hurricane hit and I was very nervous but the captain did an amazing job of keeping the mood light with good jokes and keeping everyone safe. The second I started to feel unwell from the waves he turned the boat around to go with the water and it was a great time! The crew was amazing I would recommend this tour to everyone! Fireworks are only 5 min long but good enough to get some photos and videos. Again such a funny and uplifting captain

Taylor_G, Aug 2026

This tour was very good...

This tour was very good best way to see the island the only thing is I wish I knew you do not have a lot of time at each stop to do activities like ride the train at dole plantation. I would recommend this tour to others but the only thing was our tour guide was a little negative

Waikiki Catamaran Snorkel with Lunch: Turtles Guaranteed

Adam_B, Jul 2026

Perfect snorkel catamaran cruise

We booked this boat last minute, we arrived to a larger catamaran than others we had been on, we, a family of 5, had the whole boat with just 3 other guests. The boat felt newer & clean. The staff were friendly & fun. We had an amazing snorkel experience & saw loads of turtles. We were provided with a turkey lettuce wrap & chips for lunch. Would highly recommend this boat cruise.

Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Sail on the Moana Catamaran

Barbara_L, Jul 2026

The Best!!

Peaceful, fun, attentive staff, great music, strong/ good drinks, and an excellent atmosphere for a wonderful cruise. The staff was great looking at something in the water and finding out it was a raft that they took on board. Thank you so much! We took the same cruise two Fridays in a row and loved them both!

Oahu's Best Circle Island Sights & Bites Tour from Waikiki

brenda_k, Jul 2026

Awesome experience and knowledgeable tour guide

We had a great time. Lots of things to see. Our tour guide was awesome and he was kind enough to drop us off right around the ship port so that we didn’t miss our boat.. San was very friendly and knowledgeable. He is from Hawaii and shared very good information

Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona Memorial & Honolulu Deluxe Coach Tour

Cathy_S, Jun 2026

Must see Pearl Harbor, USSArizona Missouri and Honolulu!

Our guide RoRo was the best! From pickup to drop off, everything was easy and convenient! She gave us lots of information about the memorial and other sites we visited and was so helpful, after dropping us off at The Missouri, she went back to look for (and found!) a lost couple without making the rest of the group have to wait! We were going to do a hop on/hop off tour, but she did such a great job showing us the sights, we didn’t need to. The memorials were outstanding, the park rangers informative, and altogether an experience we will never forget!

Oahu Fun Circle Island Tour: 32 Sights, 10 Stops & Turtles

Jordan_C, Feb 2026

Johnny was great! Very...

Johnny was great! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. Gave great recommendations, especially for great restaurants to try! The tour provided an excellent opportunity to view many different portions of the island and was a great opportunity to see other parts of Ohua other than Waikiki. The tour stopped at or drove by many recommended locations. There were many opportunities for excellent pictures and delicious snacks!
