Top Oahu Full-day Tours - page 11

This was a great tour around the island of Oahu. We enjoyed the beauty of the island and learning about the Hawaiian history from our guide Dylan. Dlyan and Kapono were awesome and kept us on time and entertained. Dylan even made a video with his drone for all of us on the tour and made several lai by hand. Highly recommend this tour.

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.
