Diamond Head Crater

Charles_A, Jun 2026

Very nice tour, long up...

Very nice tour, long up hill climb but 2 hrs is enough to get up and down, even for a couple of 70+ year old. I would to have water for the hike not after, we ended up buying a bottle. Matthew did a good job driving and explaining about the area and what to expect on the hike

Outstanding tour around Oahu.

Great Day! Greg was an outstanding tour guide. He was very prompt in the morning when we got off the ship. In spite all of the craziness of disembarkation the pickup went very smoothly. The day was filled with beautiful views and scenery as well as very interesting island information and trivia. Great opportunity to sample some excellent Hawaiian food throughout the day. Wonderful! Thank you Greg for the great experience. It was exactly what we had hoped for.

Premium Oahu Circle Island Tour – Small Group, No Crowds

Elizabeth_M, Apr 2026

Aye Aye Captain!

Last week, my husband and I had the pleasure of going on this tour led by Captain Vince. The tour seemingly took us all over the island—we saw many sights and tried many Hawaiian treats including dinner at Liliha’s. Everyone in our group got along very well and were participatory thanks to Captain Vince. He was very informative and his fun-loving energy was extremely contagious. Mahalo nui loa for the memorable experience!

Oahu in a Day: Small Group Waterfall, Food Trucks, and Lookouts

Debbie_R, Apr 2026

The best Hawaiian tour!

We’ve done some tours before but this topped them all! Andrew was our tour guide and was the perfect combo of knowledge and new friend you wanted to hang out with. Never felt rushed and had so much fun! The waterfall experience was by far the best! Loved the beautiful flowers and tropical views. The photography instruction he provided was so helpful at getting great pictures. Andrew helped everyone individually and as a group pointed out many ways to take better pictures. And he shared all his pictures with us at the end of the tour. The food trucks were the icing on the tour cake and is it was hard to choose with so many amazing choices!

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.

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 🌺

Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn

Evangeline_N, Apr 2026

A lot of places fit into a thorough, all day format!

“Keoki” was our guide and he was so entertaining and coordinated that time really flew by fast! He knows how to give the participants a proper overview of history, important scenery, mixed with a big dose of humor. We were thoroughly enlightened and entertained. I highly recommend this tour under his skillful direction!

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

Ashneel_K, Sep 2025

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!
