Uncle D was incredible! This was the best tour ever. Uncle D was fun and very knowledgeable! I learned so much about the culture and the island! Uncle D sang a very moving song at the end and was very interactive during the tour! Uncle D don’t stop being you! You made me feel so special as this was part of a birthday celebration!

Quentin was the BEST guide - informative, entertaining and professional. I highly recommend! I suggest booking this at the start of your trip because Quentin gave great suggestions on places to eat and visit. Seeing the island was a highlight and we appreciated the personal touch including taking amazing photos of us with spectacular backdrops!

Uncle D is by far the best tour guide we ever had, super informative and he's a native Hawaiian so he knows where the good deals are and the best views, this tour is highly recommended for anyone visiting, when we come back we'll join another tour with Fil Am travels again, amazing hospitality! Mahalo!

Spectacular Island Tour

Jose_C, Oct 2026
Kelly was very punctual, very informative and funny. Growing up native Hawaiian, she knows the nooks and grannies of Oahu. We are glad and satisfied we had her as our guide.

The Tour every tourist needs

Angelina_D, Oct 2026
Booked This tour not knowing how great of a day we would have coming, the driver had such a great personality and we wouldn’t want any other tour guide than the great Uncle D.

Wished the meet up...

Catherine_N, Oct 2026

Island Tour

Lee_N, Oct 2026
Uncle d is very knowledgeable There was Lots of good food! Also Many good photo stops along the way.

Kelly was the best tour guide!

Anneliza_T, Oct 2026
We had a wonderful time with Kelly! We learned so much about Oahu! It’s our third time here but it’s our first time to book a tour. She was very entertaining and fun to be with. Wish we can visit less and stay longer at places like the Kuoloa ranch and maybe stop at a calmer waves beach. It was scary. Overall we had an amazing time.

Togetaway

lyane_l, Oct 2026
It’s a great overview of the island. Most of the stops are 15 minutes but we knew this. It’s a really good introduction to what you may want to do when you are here. Some places 15 minutes is plenty of time. I would definitely want to go back to the Dole Plantation and take the train tour. Half an hour is not enough there. Aunt Kelly make the ride fun. Telling jokes and singing for us. We can tell she really enjoy what she is doing and it’s not just a job to her. She has so much knowledge of the island. I can’t even remember half the things she said. 😂

Mahaulo Kelei!

Renee_S, Oct 2026
Kelei, our tour operator was the best. She gave us all the information on all the sites and then some. We appreciated her taking care of us today. Mahaulo!

Oahu Circle Tour

Auntie Kelly was awesome sharing a lot of history and a few extra stops. She made sure we were able to get in the water in a safe area. She also was just so much fun!

William_p, Oct 2026
My pick up point on my confirmation was incorrect. Had to call next morning for proper pick up location.

Poor service dreadful

Jane_L, Oct 2026
The bus was,uncomfortable as I was placed in what shouldn't be a,seat on the back row Very uncomfortable for 70 yr old Mised places thst were advertised With no explanation

Fun around the Island.

Kathleen_S, Oct 2026
We totally love the tour and our driver Marvie was friendly and very informative. It was a beautiful experience. Places we stop at were great.

Best tour in Hawaii with Quintan

Kathy_K, Oct 2026
This was one of the best tours ever!! Quintan was so personable and taught us a lot of history. I would definitely recommend this tour for a great trip around the island.

Family trip

Mary_S, Oct 2026
A great way to see the island. Our guide Kelly was a native islander and she told us so much of the history of the island. Pointed things out that someone not born and raised there would know. Booked the tour early on our vacation so we could go back to places and stay a little longer. Only draw back for me was the shrimp shack lunch. I have a severe shellfish allergy BUT you are told in the itinerary that's lunch so I just brought my own. Not a diterent from taking the tour. So if you want a fun filled sun filled day of fun and local history go on this tour!! Diamond Head Dole Plantation Macadamia Nut Farm and the Noth Shore are your major stops. Only draw back is October has higher surfs and brown water. So no snorkeling if that's the case. Even without being able to get in the water the view was stunning!

Great tour. Kelly was...

Leikin_P, Oct 2026
Great tour. Kelly was fun, interactive, and knowledgeable. Would recommend, covers all the high points you’re looking to see on the island.

Oahu’s Circle Island Tour by Fil-Am Travel & Tours

Jaromey, Oct 2026
We appreciated being contacted beforehand and extremely happy that our pickup location was at our hotel. Driver was very knowledgeable. Our group did not take the driver’s advice that we should change the snorkel location but my husband and I were outnumbered and so the so-called snorkel was in murky water. Enjoyed the lunch. Liked the fact that the driver arranged the food menu with everyone so that there was no waiting on arrival at the restaurant area.

Amazing day…Quentin was...

Walter_W, Oct 2026
Uncle D is very knowledgeable about the island, very respectful, and a great driver. I would look him up again for the next time we visit.

Great day seeing the island

Paul_B, Oct 2026
It’s a long day and a lot of on and off but u do get to see a lot of places It’s well worth a day sightseeing

Too much shopping

Scott_M, Oct 2026
To many shopping activities, think it was planned that way. Couldn't swim due to local flooding this day. The bus had broken seats and not maintained.

Pickup location change

Angela_M, Oct 2026
The pickup location was changed last minute and we didn’t find out until the driver never showed up to the original location. When I tried to contact the tour company via text, no one responded. I left a voicemail message and was eventually contacted and informed about the new location, although, the bus was parked about a block and a half away from location two. Very confusing and stressful way to start a tour.

Good trip to see all the way around the island

Karen_B, Oct 2026
It was a great trip, our tour guide Mike was excellent. Sadly due to storms the day before we didn’t get to snorkel at Waimea Beach as the water was muddy but the rest of the trip was very good.

Laugh, learn and yum!

Sharon_R, Oct 2026
Great overview of the island, with stops at interesting places, delicious food, efficient guide. Lots of humor and a wealth of information.

Great Day Trip to see so much.

Diane_D, Oct 2026
Really great driver full of knowledge and fun info. Even though raining on and off great day. Well worth the trip.

Garth_R, Oct 2026
Went on this Oahu Circle Island tour & the guide Kellie was wonderful, being doing this work for decades & it shows. The spots are all amazing, it is Hawaii (!) & the Shrimp lunch was THE BEST!!! Thanks Kellie

It was such a great tour!...

Excelsa_A, Oct 2026
It was such a great tour! Uncle D was so friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the experience enjoyable. I feel bad that I wasn’t able to give him a tip because I didn’t have enough cash with me. I was hoping he might have Venmo or Zelle, but he only had Cash App, which I don’t have. I really wish I could have tipped him because he definitely deserved it!

Trip was advertised to be...

Edward_G, Oct 2026
Trip was advertised to be back in waikiki at 5pm, but we were rushed around and dropped off at 3.20pm. Could have had more stops.

Absolutely excellent guide!!!!

Deryl_R, Oct 2026
We had an excellent guide, Darren. Very knowledgeable and made the whole trip feel very personal. His knowledge of the culture places etc is extensive. Just wish we’d had more time with him!! Darren is the BEST tour guide ever!!

Take This Tour if You're Short on Time

Louvinia_W, Oct 2026
This was a great way to see the really important places if you're short on time! Uncle D (tour guide) - was truly a storehouse of information about everything Hawaiian!

Excellent tour!
