Top Oahu Private Sightseeing Tours - page 7

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.

John, our friendly driver is a very excellent tour guide for us. He is very knowledgeable and gave us all the details of main areas we went. We are lucky to have him as our tour guide. The tour is very fantastic. John brought us to every place described in the tour description

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.

Great hike. 6am was still fairly busy, especially at the top for sunrise. At your own pace really means at the pace of the traffic. There are places to step aside and let others pass if you are tired. Took about 1.5 hours and that included about 15 min at the top for sunrise.

started off as and island tour, went to dole plantation, then to north shore. After leaving the north shore passing a restaurant driver said they had the best margaritas on the island, told him to turn around to test his claim, was a pretty good margarita. Then our island tour turned fun and proceeded to stop at the drivers favorite dive bars on the way back to Waikiki which i found to be a better time with my friends then stopping at all the tourist spot

Could not have asked for a better experience. Mike(pilot) was awesome. Very informative on what we were looking at, gave lots of history facts. Gave a heads up on when it was gonna be a little bumpy due to the mountains. His music Playlist was 2nd to none. If your looking for a great flight, use these guys! You will not be disappointed. BTW, we took the private flight with out the doors! I knew what I was getting with the doors off, wife was not so sure. But she loved it for her first ever helicopter ride.

This experience was super nice. Our Guide was great! He was funny and showed up even after his co-worker had called out just to deliver the best! You’ll go on a mini river ride through the Polynesian center and star gaze in the dark! His stories are super engaging and informative. He did an amazing job despite being alone for the night with a whole group! Thanks “cousin!” 100% recommend for families and friend (anybody really) if you are worried about the river being too deep or anything like that it’s a man-made river and it’s only about 3 feet tall so if you fall off the paddle you can stand no issue.

We did this private island tour with 10 people, including 3 kids under 5, split between two families—and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-paced, and family-friendly. Our driver was flexible and accommodating, tailoring the itinerary to avoid places we’d already visited and suggesting great alternatives. Highlights included the peaceful beauty of Byodo-In Temple, a delicious lunch at Kahuku Farms Café (great for picky eaters and vegetarians), and watching sea turtles at a quiet beach. Even the drive between stops was enjoyable thanks to the scenic views and relaxing vibe. Traveling with young kids can be tricky, but this tour made it easy and fun for everyone. Highly recommend for families or groups looking to explore Oahu stress-free and in comfort!
