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!

Kelly was a great tour guide and made the experience enjoyable and also provided lots of history and information in regards to Oahu!

Welcome to Hawaii!

Lanisha_G, Jun 2026
As a solo traveler, the Oahu Circle Island Tour was one of the absolute highlights of my trip. The scenery was breathtaking, and every stop was more beautiful than the last. What truly made this experience unforgettable was Uncle D. He wasn’t just a phenomenal driver, he was an exceptional historian and storyteller who brought the island to life with his knowledge, humor, and genuine aloha spirit. He added so much value to the tour and gave me a much deeper appreciation for Oahu. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the island!

Not worth the money

Jayesh_T, Jun 2026
Wasted time by making unnecessary stops like 1 for donuts. Lunch place served horrible food. I am sure tour operator Kelly gets a commission. Spent hour and 15 minutes on a beach that was dirty and poorly located. Seat were cramped with no pocket in front to put stuff. Only allowed us to spend 30 minutes at Dole plantation which was the main attraction. Should have had atleast an hour at Dole plantation.

Lovely Day

Denise_R, Jun 2026
We had a fabulous experience, loved our guide Kelly. We went to some wonderful places to eat and enjoyed the day.

Sunrise fun

Gonzalo_L, Jun 2026
Uncle D is an original native Hawaiian who is very knowledgeable in the history of Hawaii. During his tour people will experience the beauty of the island, its people and their food. The tour takes you to beautiful cliffs and beaches where the views are spectacular. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about Hawaii.

Great experience!

Our experience was nice, our Driver Marvy was very Informative, funny & helpful. We had a lot of delicious food and saw parts of the Island I hadn’t seen in previous trips. We were back in our hotel by 3/4pm

Great way to see Oahu....

Nicole_L, Jun 2026
Great way to see Oahu. Some stops were shorter than scheduled and the Diamond Head stop was completely missed. I chalk it up to the late start. Our bus did not arrive until 7:30 though it was scheduled for 7:00. The tour guide was super nice and knowledgeable.

Much Aloha and Real Hawaii

Kelly_H, Jun 2026
Lots of local Hawaiian culture and wonderful ohana feel. Our guide, Uncle D, set this tour apart from others with his kind aloha spirit. He told us local stories and made us feel like intimate family. We saw hidden beaches and loved getting out of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki for the day, seeing the quieter beaches and little communities along the trip. Definitely try the pineapple boats at the first stop sold by Uncle D’s nephew! You’ll enjoy this rich and informative tour.

Perfect

HomeroC_V, Jun 2026
A must do experience for first time visitors like ourselves. Excellent tour guide with a great deal of knowledge

Uncle D Tour guide was amazing

Grant_W, Jun 2026
Amazing tour to see the real culture of the island. Great experience for the kids and I. Money well spent.

Uncle D is the man!

Jeremy_T, Jun 2026
Uncle D is amazing!!! This is well worth the price. There is a ton of history and culture here to learn from. I could spend a week learning about this wonderful place and still feel like an outsider. Love this place!

Excellent Oahu Island tour

Kren_C, Jun 2026
Excellent tour! The guide was very knowledgeable, organized, and friendly. He covered a lot of ground in a timely fashion without feeling rushed. There was a nice balance of activities and information - nature, culture, food, history. I enjoyed the day and learned a lot! It was a great way to see the island without needing to drive or rent a vehicle. I'm glad I went and highly recommend this tour to others.

Entertaining

Julie_B, May 2026
This was a great, relaxing way to see the entire island. Marvie was great. I wish we learned a little more history of the island. Also, we didn’t snorkel because the water was brown. Several other beaches along the way looked better.

Check snorkeling conditions prior to booking

Harrison_J, May 2026
Decent tour- comfortable seats and great views from the bus. We were a little confused about snorkeling - it’s actually across the street from your stop at the macadamia nut farm/shop. We are a young family but other travelers with limited mobility definitely wouldn’t have been able to make that walk across the road in the heat (also the second to last stop). Unfortunately, we couldn’t even snorkel because the water was brown. I know that’s out of their control but they likely knew ahead of time since locals we spoke to locals who said it had been like that since the storms. No visible turtles for us other than a view that bobbed their heads up out of the water a few times.

Excellent Service

Neela_P, May 2026
Fun tour, pickup was on time, guide was very knowledgeable with good humor 😄, I would give 10/10 for their service, because of marathon event Diamond Head route was closed, so they took us to Nu'uanu Pali State Point which was not in the itinerary. We were happy to see the Pali State Point as we didn't plan for that.

Uncle D

Oahu circle route

A bus trip that can be done on public transit. The bus drivers commentary makes the difference for us

Ohana with Uncle D

Roy_R, May 2026
Uncle D was great and very informative. The constant information and answering of questions was perfect. Thanks for a wonderful day .

Excellent, Entertaining and Educational Trip Around O’ahu!

Ann_H, May 2026
Our group of 11 had a wonderful day riding around the island of O’ahu with Mike and our driver Brother John. Mike was full of fun and facts about all the wonderful sights and sounds and smells of the beautiful island! We had 2 unfortunate things interrupting the planned activities: one was storm damage and the other was a traffic accident with a fatality which blocked one of the two-lane roads that we were on. Mike took us to an alternate beach that had a lot of sea turtles swimming close to shore with several coming up on the shore conveniently to be photographed. My personal three favorite parts of the trip were 1) the stop to see the gorgeous rocks and aquamarine sea complete with blow holes, 2) the Huli Huli chicken looking delightful on the grill and tasting even better and 3) the visit to the gorgeous grounds of the Dole Pinapple restaurant/store where we all enjoyed delicious pinapple slushies. Mike worked very hard to get our group home in time for us to prepare for a luau at 5 which we greatly appreciated, in spite of the traffic problems. All in all a wonderful day with the very funny and fun Mike and Brother John!

Must do in Oahu!

Lauren_S, May 2026
The best decision we made on our trip to Hawaii! Uncle D is the best around!! An all day excursion to see the best views and the most fun activities :)

Kathryn_B, May 2026
Lots to see around the island out of the city area. We got to see sea turtles along the beach! Be prepared for unexpected events and be flexible.
