Top Oahu Private Sightseeing Tours

It's a great leisurely day, not much walking- you get to see the whole island- lots of driving!! Chief Rob Was a great guide he was very knowledgeable and funny and an impersonator to boot!! He really "Crushes" it! Such a beautiful island to see! You put a lot into one day then you can always go back if you want to at a later time !

Tommy was the guide; however, the service from start, the pickup/drop off, in store personnel were top notch. I upgraded from self guided to the 5 hour tour. So glad I did. It was an adventure of a life time. And hat's off to everyone in my group. We were ohana!!

We cannot praise this experience enough! Not only was it educational, because we learned so much about different cultures, but it was an absolute blast!! Our tour guide was extremely fun, patient (we’ve never paddle boarded before), and knowledgeable. It was very different from any other activity we’ve booked, but different in the best way possible. If you are hesitant for any reason, BOOK NOW! You won’t regret it.

Crew was nice and really made us feel like family. Service was top tier and we got to see a LOT of turtles. They’re each very knowledgeable and would recommend this affordable experience to all my friends and family. We even got to see a humpback whale! Would be back again!

I can't recommend this enough! This seriously was the most amazing tour on your own time. It was like he was a friend in the backseat telling us everything, we were talking to him like if he was there by the end of the trip. I love these tours. This is my second one I've purchase through Shaka Guide. I highly recommend to anyone. I can't wait to explore more of their destinations with them.

Riley was an excellent guide. She was conscientious and adjusted our tour to my wife’s walking limitations due to arthritis. She was very knowledgeable and thorough with the information she shared about the events leading up to World War II and the significant details for the historic monuments we were going to see. We saw the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific first, visiting these national cemetery’s always makes me thankful that my Great Uncles who served made it back home, although they did carry emotional scars that troubled them throughout their lives. Visiting the Arizona was a very moving experience, thinking about the men who died there and the families that lost them made me both sorrowful and proud of the sacrifices that the American people made so that we are able to live the way we do today. I served in the Army National Guard, but never did anything close to what was asked of these men. The Battleship Missouri was an amazing piece of history. Walking the deck and standing on the same boards that were stood upon to end WWII was an honor. The tour through the crew quarters, dining facilities, and recreation areas, including a snack shop and library, of the ship amazed me. The commitment made to use precious space on a ship to have areas that brought a little bit of normality to the servicemen’s lives was unexpected. I have worked in food manufacturing for over 40 years and the equipment used in the kitchen areas would not look out of place in a modern processing facility. Obviously the guns, size and military might of the ship are awe inspiring. Sixteen inch guns that can fire a more than 2000lbs shell 26 miles every 30 seconds from 9 separate rifles and not move the ship because of the masterful recoil system is unimaginable for those of us who never experienced it. This is a private tour that I feel privileged to have gotten the opportunity to experience. There was much more to see and experience, I only touched the surface of the experience.

Ama, our tour guide, was excellent. He has extensive historical knowledge of Hawaiian history and wonderful presentation skills. It would tell anyone booking this tour to ask for him first. I would recommend this as a first tour when visiting Waikiki. Great overview of the area. I wish I had done this on my first day here.

Our pilot Jake was great and so personable! It was my first time in a helicopter, so I sat quietly in the back seat. He checked on me a few times to make sure I was good. Just as advertised, we flew over Waikiki Beach, Diamondhead, famous coves, mountains, valleys, windfarms, beautiful beaches, and Pearl Harbor. Jake pointed out all the landmarks along the way. It was a wonderful experience!
