Top Oahu Full-day Tours

I enjoyed the Majestic Circle Island tour! It was a great way to see different parts of the island, without having to Uber or rent a car. There are so many locations, time at each location can feel limited, so it's best to go in with the mentality that it won't necessarily be leisurely, but you'll experience more variety. The Byodo-In temple was serene and majestic, and it was delightful to sample coffee and macadamia nuts at Tropical Farms. The lunch at Pounders was mid. (If you go on a Wednesday, the whole center is closed, so this might have been a cooler stop if we'd been able to sight-see a bit.) The Waimea Valley was beautiful, and even though it wasn't safe to swim by the waterfall due to rain, it was still a satisfying experience. We spent about 90 min here, which was just enough, though you could easily stretch out a visit here to a few hours. Really, all of the stops were worthwhile. Our guide even stopped by Leonard's at the beginning of the trip, because it was raining, so everyone could get coffee and malasada. He gave everyone ponchos too. Don't forget to bring cash for tipping at lunch, and your guide. Sit on the right side of the bus, near the front, for the best ocean view. I was one of the last people on, so I was in the back and it was pretty bumpy. Still, it was worth it!

We had the best time with Lono! My 13 year olds asked a ton of questions and learned so much about the island of Oahu and the culture. The food stops were delicious, and despite it being one day post hurricaine, we were able to make the best of each spot. I felt like we saw so many parts of the island, each with a different feel, and it was spectacular.

I had an amazing experience on this tour and would highly recommend it! Our tour guide, Lola, was fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Oahu and the different places we visited, but what really made the day special was her personality and energy. She was funny, engaging, super organized, and really made the entire tour fun from beginning to end. The stops throughout the day were beautiful. We got to see some gorgeous ocean views, visit the Japanese temple, and stop at the Dole Pineapple Farm, which was really cute. It was such a great way to see and experience different parts of Oahu in one day. I also thought the tour was well worth the cost. Just keep in mind that if you book the full-day tour, it really is a full day, so be prepared to be out for quite a while! Overall, this was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of my trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend it, and Lola was truly an incredible tour guide!
