What are people saying about Oahu

Pearl Harbor Tribute: Arizona Memorial and Honolulu City Tour

Victoria_S, Oct 2026

Great tour to Pearl Harbor

This was a great experience. Pearl Harbor was very moving and the film was great. There was a volunteer that gave a presentation at the memorial and we could’ve spent more time there looking at the exhibits but we were on a schedule. Our tour guide was fantastic, Rick. Very knowledgeable. He even gave us great suggestions at the end of the tour for where to eat near our hotel.

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.

Oahu Day Tour with Waterfalls Food Trucks and Lookout Points

Highly recommended

Andrew was our tour guide and took us through the 10-hour tour in a small group of 8 people. He shared a wealth of knowledge and stopped at selected photo spots, food trucks, and other things. The highlight of the tour was swimming at the waterfall. In our case, Andrew took pictures of everything and provided them for free at the end. This way, you could fully immerse yourself in the experience and had the perfect memory at the end. I would do it again anytime, absolutely recommended!

Oahu Grand Circle Island Experience from Waikiki

We had up to 90 minutes and was great to just sit in the shade If you didn't want swim. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. Would recommend

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

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.

Amazing Tour for First Time on the Island

From pick-up to the last stop on the tour was seamless. This was our first time on Oahu, so we wanted to see some of the well-known attractions on the island. This did not disappoint! Allen was our driver for the day, and he was great! He provided knowledge about history and the culture of the island. Don’t think about it, book it! You won’t regret it!

Oahu: Manoa Falls Rainforest Self-Guided Hike

Cyndi_E, Apr 2026

Beautiful falls

Great time, beautiful view walking stick helped a lot as the rocks were slick and kind of muddy. The falls at the top were beautiful . I read that it was an easy hike, but I’ve been on hikes that are easy through the woods and in the forest and with these slick rocks and tall stairs I would’ve called it at least moderate.

Oahu Fun Circle Island Tour 32 Sights with 10 Stops and 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!
