I was more than pleased with this tour. Marvie our guide was great! This is the best way to see many of the major sites. Snorkeling on the north shore was still rough from storms last month. Fantastic lunch stop. Dole Plantation, Blowhole and other parks were all great stops. Don't miss this!

We were lucky to be in a smaller van and only 8 people total showed up. This tour will give you everything the super tours do, but with a more intimate setting. Our driver and host, Quinten was SUPERB! The whole day he gave us knowledge and history on the islands in general, along with showing us some fun things along the way like Jackie Chan & Keanu Reeves houses! Quinten only works on Saturday so if you want this fabulous experience, book for a Saturday. Really there are not enough words to explain how fabulous this whole day was! I can’t recommend this tour enough.

Island tour

Karla_A, May 2026
Our driver was excellent. Unfortunately, I cannot remember his name. He was very funny, kind and entertaining. It was cool getting to see the entire island. I will, however, mention that I did not like the fact that we did go out of order or certain things. Also, my kids were very disappointed they did not get to snorkel, unfortunately, nobody from our tour was able to snorkel since it is a very rocky area and I would say not the best for snorkeling. Also, the pitstops that we made were extremely short and felt very rushed given the timeframe we were given.

Oahu is wonderful

Great info provided by Kelly. She was informative and funny. Lots of fun visiting all the places listed

Douglas_M, May 2026
The tour was ok. We seemed to be rushed at every stop. Nobody could snorkel because there wasn't enough time and the water was too churned up by storms earlier in the month. Pickups and parking at some stops were problems because the bus was too large to park at the planned locations.

Ana_P, May 2026
The tour was well organised. Uncle D. explained very well each place we visited. I would recommend this tour. They provided cold water, which was very nice.

Excellent tour

Darrell_I, May 2026
A really enjoyable drive around the island with Cousin D, what a privilege to be guided by a PHD who has so much knowledge and is so passionate about his home. Thank you Cousin D, we wish you well for you and your community.

Great tour.

RuiFilipe_S, May 2026
Great tour guide. Very pleasant and relaxed tour. Uncle D is an incredible soul and fantastic at his tour guide job. Only suggestion is: I wish there were one or two stops where people could better appreciate and take pictures of the mountains - they could be just 10 min pull over stops at one or two key sites. Also, if possible, it would be great to do another 10 min pull over stop just to appreciate the pineaple plantation. But, I have no hesitation to recommend this tour. It was super nice. I would do it again.

Great Circle Tour

Didn't Meet Expectations

Shari_S, May 2026
Not what we expected. It was hard to hear the driver, too many people for us and the beach was marginal compared to other places we stopped. Due to other guests being late to stops we didn't stay long at the Dole Plantation.

Oahu sight seeing

donna_c, Apr 2026
It was a good tour and our guide “Marvellous” was interesting and fun. Unfortunately he had to be too patient as tourists don't always listen and follow instructions. We ended up late back due to two groups not arriving back at the bus at the designated time, causing significant delays. Besides that the stops were interesting and relevant. We chose not to swim/ snorkel as it was cool and windy and the water very murky. We did get to see turtles there though. The Dole Whip was a favourite.

Lauri_F, Apr 2026
excellent opportunity to see the island and the guide - uncle D - was full of information. Fully recommend.

Great tour

kevin_m, Apr 2026
Awesome tour. Tour guide Mike was great,the jokes were horrible but funny. Definitely recommend this tour.

Thanks Uncle D

CAROL_S, Apr 2026
Uncle D was a wonderful tour guide and friend. Made us feel like family and had lots of information about the island, its culture, economics and history. I am especially thankful for the time he spent with my husband who was not able to do a lot of walking. Take care, our friend Uncle D.

From Different Countries to One Shared Journey

Edwina_S, Apr 2026
Travelling in a group has been a really enjoyable experience overall. I’ve had a great time and especially loved the opportunity to meet and speak with people from different countries—it added a whole new layer to the trip and made it feel more meaningful. One of the best parts of group travel is the shared experience. You’re not just seeing new places, you’re creating memories together, which makes everything more fun and often less stressful since a lot of the planning is taken care. That said,Travellers should know that group travel does come with a few trade-offs. You need to be flexible with schedules, as everything runs on a set itinerary, and there may be times when you have to compromise on what you personally want to do. Personal space and downtime can also be limited, depending on the group dynamic. Overall, if you’re open-minded, patient, and enjoy meeting new people, group travel can be incredibly rewarding. It’s a great way to explore the world while building connections you might not otherwise have made.

If you get Uncle D as...

Marci_D, Apr 2026
If you get Uncle D as your guide you will learn a lot. The tour is very informative and worth the money.

Uncle D was great

Cynthia_J, Apr 2026
This tour takes you to authentic places on the island, great food experience along the way with historic information by Uncle D. We have a better understanding of the culture.

Best Tour Bus Experience Ever!

Dickson_T, Apr 2026
If you're lucky enough to have Uncle D as your driver, you're in for a surprise. He's an excellant story teller and a great historian of the island. He's extremely knowledgeable and humorous. Not a boring moment.

STEPHANIE_T, Apr 2026
Loved our tour guide . Quintin is very knowledgeable , friendly and have a good sense of humor. . He is also a very good photographer . Thank you Quintin for a great trip

Why do the island tour her first?

Robert_S, Apr 2026
This was an awesome experience our guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained a lot of the local customs and local things to know. I would suggest this tour to be the first thing you do when you get to the island of Oahu. Then you will have a real good idea of what to see and what to pass up allowing you more time to see what you really want to see in your trip. Well worth the time and money on this tour.

Quintin was amazing! The...

Cayleigh_B, Apr 2026
Quintin was amazing! The tour was very detailed, well laid out, and informative. Our tour guide was helpful in taking pictures, giving us tips for each stop, and even gave us some money saving tips for the rest of our tips. Highly recommend!

GREGORY_F, Apr 2026
Great tour guide, but tour started 1 hour later than expected. No turtles on the snorkel, but plenty of fish. Lunch was Ok

Was not as advertised. I was very disappointed.

Zlynn_W, Apr 2026
We saw a lot of beaches. We were not taken on the Dole pineapple tour. The tour guide said that bolders were blocking the road that's why we couldn't go on the Dole tour. I had a friend that went with a different tour company on the same day and they went on the Dole tour. We were told that we were going to be picked up from our hotel. 6pm the night before the tour the company called and told us that we had to meet the tour bus at a different location that was not at our hotel. My husband is handicapped and had to walk a long distance using a walker. Will never use this tour service again.

The best experience!!...

Myeesha_A, Apr 2026

Fil-Am OAHU Island Tour - Thumbs UP!

Renato_B, Apr 2026
Your visit to Oahu will not be complete without joining this island tour. The money spent for this tour is great value and well- spent. Tour guide (Mike) and driver (Raul) were fabulous, professional and well mannered.

Kelly was an amazing tour...

Kyle_H, Apr 2026
Kelly was an amazing tour guide! Full of knowledge and humor. I would book this again in a heartbeat. Very affordable and scenic. 5 stars 🌟

Decent for the price but the itinerary is not accurate.

Rocco_I, Apr 2026
Tour guide aunty was great and informative, the tour itself was ok. We missed two main aspects/stops of the tour and the tour guide company does not care or respect your opinion about it.

Great island tour!

Shahnaz_A, Apr 2026
Uncle D was an amazing tour guide. He eas so informative and gave us tons of great Information about Oahu! Due to the weather - we didn’t get a chance to go snorkeling which is what my kids both wanted to do but due to the water conditions from the floods - I was totally fine with that!

Amazing and very educational

Fernando_G, Apr 2026
