What are people saying about Oahu

Savannah_C, Aug 2026

One of our favorite days...

One of our favorite days in Hawaii! 🌺🤙🏼 The Full-Day Circle Island Tour was the perfect way to see so much of Oʻahu in one day. We had two fantastic guides who truly made the experience—they were fun, knowledgeable, and shared so much about the island, its history, and Hawaiian culture along the way. We got to experience beautiful beaches, incredible views, local spots, and parts of the island we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. If it’s your first time on Oʻahu, I definitely recommend doing this tour early in your trip. It gives you such a good feel for the island and helps you find places you may want to go back and explore! 10/10 experience. Mahalo for an unforgettable day! 🌴🌊🫶🏼

Oahu: North Shore Shark Cage Diving

Stuart_P, Aug 2026

Outstanding experience.

I wish there was an option for more than 5 stars. This was nothing short of amazing, one that the family will never forget. The crew were fantastic and we had ample time in the cage to really soak it all in. There were plenty of sharks to see including a couple of tiger sharks! There is a nice local shopping area close by for some retail therapy before and / or after too!

Oahu: Roundtrip Shuttle From Waikiki to Dole Plantation & Haleiwa

Elizabeth_T, Aug 2026

Enjoyable group experience

Marv was a great guide. His commentary on the history of the island was not only informational but very amusing. We only had about 2 hours at the Dole Plantation and I wished we had a bit more since we traveled with a big group of 12. Just make sure you follow Marv's advice and do the activities right away so you have time to peruse and enjoy the shops while consuming some dole whip at the end. I highly enjoyed the "optional stops" and my kids loved the souvenirs at each of the places. I highly recommend this well priced tour for all. It was a seamless process for pick up and drop off and the timing worked out very nicely for our group.

Efficient & delightful tour around Oahu.

I really enjoyed this tour around Oahu. I would definitely recommend to others who are on a time crunch and would like to make the most out of their stay. Although I only stayed in Oahu for three days this trip allowed me to enjoy the beautiful view of the island. For only $40, this tour was very informative and interactive. Each stop varied from 30 minutes to an hour, offering free unique sightings of the various parts of the island. Cons: • Didn’t participate in the snorkeling due to the water being brown, not as clear as surrounding beaches but was able to see sea turtles. • Time crunch, a bit rushed

Trolley to all the Sites

Great way to get around Honolulu and learn about history and lots of points of interest. Rode the red line 2 yrs ago. This time rode the green line and blue lines. Hiked Diamond Head and got to see many points in the southeast coastline. Big Tony was a great driver who had discount passes available for s9me attractions as well. MUST DO. 10/10

Very nice tour, long up...

Very nice tour, long up hill climb but 2 hrs is enough to get up and down, even for a couple of 70+ year old. I would to have water for the hike not after, we ended up buying a bottle. Matthew did a good job driving and explaining about the area and what to expect on the hike

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 !

Kailua Bay, Oahu: Epic Kayak and Snorkel to Islands

Melanie_B, Apr 2026

Awesome Kayaking Adventure

We had such a great time kayaking from Kailua Beach to Na Mokulua island. The weather was perfect and the water was calm. The staff at Kailua Beach Adventures is so friendly and welcoming. They were very informative and helpful. It is five miles round trip, but you can take your time and stay on the island before heading back. The kayaks, safety vests, snorkeling gear and lunch were included in our package. We chose to do the self guided kayaking tour, but felt completely safe and informed before starting our adventure. We highly recommend booking your next excursion with Kailua Beach Adventures. They offer several options and packages. They also offer free onsite parking as well and their location is very easy to find. This was the highlight of our vacation.

Mahalo!

Henry is a wonderful tour guide. He provided historical information and was just a pleasure to be around. He was funny and made everyone feel like ohana. We didn’t get to do the north side of the island due to flooding but Henry was accommodating and showed great resilience when we had to detour. It is a very informative tour and I appreciated all that it offered. Mahalo for great experience!

Oahu: North Shore Tour with Waimea Waterfall

Charles_M, Sept 2025

One of our best tours!

This was one of our best tours and would highly recommend. Our driver was John and guide Kanamu, both very kind and professional. Kanamu was the best guide we ever had (and we have been on hundreds of tours). Kanamu was very knowledgeable and funny, she held my attention the whole tour (8 hours). Just a wonderful and beautiful person.
