What are people saying about Oahu

Vish_N, Jun 2026

Mac!

This tour was well worth it! Mac, our tour guide was out of this world friendly, and accommodating to everyone! He knew all the best spots and pointed additional things out along the way. Very knowledgeable about the island and the right places and times to visit any questions we had! This had everything, foods, sights, and the Mac was engaging and we definitely not bored at all!

Diamond Head Crater

Kimberly_B, May 2026

This was one of the...

This was one of the things I really wanted to do and it was so worth it!:). Beautiful views and a very doable hike. I went early in the morning which helped a lot. The cave walk through also cooled it off. The pineapple drink was delicious at the end. My shuttle driver also was so knowledgeable about the area and we got so much information during the ride it was very enjoyable. I loved it and highly recommend it!:)

Oahu Circle Island Tour with Waimea Valley Waterfall

Joy_Z, Apr 2026

Great option for a short stay on the island but be prepared for a FULL day!

This is truly an around the island tour which passed by and stopped at many interesting places. The botanical gardens were spectacular. We didn’t swim in the falls, but it looked like those who did really enjoyed it. We enjoyed learning about Oahu and getting to see the highlights of the island. We were lucky that our tour guide was from the island and had many pieces of its history to share. The only negative is it was sometimes hard to understand what Rob (our guide) was saying and that people on our nearly full bus weren’t as timely in their return to the bus as they should’ve been. When they tell you not to plan anything else that evening, you should really pay attention because between the traffic and others not getting back to the bus in a timely manner, it makes for a very long day. I believe it was about 11 1/2 hours from start to finish for us. However, it was worth every minute of it and I highly recommend this store. Oh also, if you can sit on the right side of the bus that has the best views of the ocean. Mahalo 🌺

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.

Mahalo!

Henry is a wonderful tour guide. He provided historical information and was just a pleasure to be around. He was funny and made everyone feel like ohana. We didn’t get to do the north side of the island due to flooding but Henry was accommodating and showed great resilience when we had to detour. It is a very informative tour and I appreciated all that it offered. Mahalo for great experience!

Waikiki Catamaran Snorkel with Lunch Option: Turtles Guaranteed

Loren_W, Feb 2026

The perfect day in Paradise!

The crew and Captain were awesome! After we snorkeled we had a nice lunch and some delicious drinks. And then instead of taking us back they kept to their word and took us for a nice sail out to sea + we spent an hour sailing. What a perfect beautiful day! We saw the normal fish that you would expect to see in Hawaii + turtles and some dolphins on the way out. Highly recommend this tour. 🐢🐬🐠🍹

Oahu: North Shore Tour with Waimea Waterfall

Epic tour of Oahu

Tim is an amazing tour guide who provides wonderful antidotes during a full day tour of Oahu! Tim pointed out all the celebrity homes, Hollywood movie highlights, took us to epic sightseeing vista points, gave us plenty of time to explore Waimea Falls and Botanical Gardens, and took us to multiple eateries. We ate and enjoyed a lot!

Oahu: Manoa Falls Rainforest Self-Guided Hike

Yasmin_P, Jun 2025

A really fun, easy, beautiful hike 😊

The drive from Waikiki to Manoa in itself is so beautiful, & then you’re taken away with how much beauty the trail has 💚 We were given 2 hours to complete the hike which is more than enough time if you’re at a moderate fitness level. There is a slight incline closer to the waterfall, and the trail is mostly rock/pebble so best to wear enclosed shoes and ones with good grip. But in saying that, I do recommend using the sticks the tour guides give you for coming down the trail cause it can get slippery. Our tour guide was prompt, funny & a pleasure to have!!! Would love to do it again 💚 Mahalo team!
