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!

Overview

Stop at fruit stands and swim and snorkel spots as your guide shares fascinating insights along the way.
  • Ideal for time-strapped Oahu travelers

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!

Uncle D is very...

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!

Mark_M, Oct 2026
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.

Great scenery /frienl6 hosts.

Susan_E, Oct 2026
Relax and take lots of pictures.The tour was very long and knowledgeable, but the only downfall was that the lines were long at some of the stops that we had,so it was yard to buy stuff.

Island tour is a must!

LISA_M, Oct 2026
Get to see almost entire island! Knowledgeable friendly driver. Very entertaining Expect to be tired

Offering water sooner...

Karell_S, Oct 2026
Offering water sooner would have been nice. My daughter’s snorkel leaked. Turtle Bay is not the greatest for snorkeling. Good place was good. Marvie was knowledgeable. We liked it.

Uncle D is Ohana

Sara_G, Oct 2026
Uncle D was great! He was born and raised on the island and was very knowledgeable, entertaining, kind, genuine and funny. We were so glad we took his tour in particular as we learned a lot about the “real” Oahu and not just the commercialism of Waikiki. Lots of stops and information, even with a little rain it was our favorite day of our trip! Uncle Ds tour is hands down the best! And the best part is we are now Ohana!

Book this Tour

Carisma_H, Oct 2026
Had a tour with uncle D it was great learned a whole lot, ate a bunch, and seen so much beautiful views. Definitely recommend this tour.

Our driver/ guide was not...

Tony_F, Sept 2026
Our driver/ guide was not professional, she made ridiculous jokes, with no one responding. Left us on a beach for an hour with HOT afternoon sun with nowhere to hide. Yet she drove off and disappeared.

Amazing experience

Valarie_P, Sept 2026
Uncle D was the best and we loved the tour!! Amazing experience and got to see so much of the island!

Circle Tour

shayne_k, Sept 2026
Wow, what a gem of a tour. Despite the weather not playing the game due to the incoming hurricane, our guide adapted well and gave us some unique experiences along with excellent commentary, The natural beauty of the island sells itself but it is good to hear backstories from an experienced guide.

It was a really good day....

Maureen_F, Sept 2026
It was a really good day. Our guide was Aunty Kelly. Kelly was great, we really enjoyed her very comprehensive knowledge, definitely laughed at her jokes and overall Kelly’s efforts to make sure everyone was happy and enjoying ourselves. Our stops were well paced, lunch was delicious and Kelly included an additional stop as the weather was not suitable for swimming or snorkeling. A great day.

Amazing island tour

Merinda_D, Sept 2026

Best tour ever

Sharon_L, Sept 2026
We loved this tour. It took us to so many different places and we learned about the history of Hawaii and you don’t have to worry about driving because they drive you in a van. They have water in the cooler our tour Guy he was great. His name was uncle D kudos to him. This man has the best personality and he goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. Definitely check this out and if you can ask to be on uncle D’s tour.

Awesome experience.

Lorena_S, Sept 2026
I enjoyed my tour very much. Very educational, informative about the island and island life. Quintin our guide was the best! He did a fantastic job! Very knowledgeable, helpful, happy, entertaining and respectful. Thank you.

Historic Journey around the island Waikiki with Quintin

Drusilla_K, Sept 2026
It was an amazing informative and exciting experience with Quintin on the on and off tour of the island

Quintin is the guide to book!!!

Emily_S, Sept 2026
We had an amazing time on our tour. Quintin, our guide was without a doubt the highlight of the trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful and kept us laughing the whole way round. He went totally out of his way to ensure we had a good time. I 100% recommend that you book your tour for a Sunday when he works, as he was absolutely superb!

Best tour guide ever! His passion is infectious.

Mechelle_E, Sept 2026
This was one of the best excursions I have taken, on my travels around the world. Quinton was amazing. He was so informative, friendly, provided water and snacks through out the day and even made sure everyone had great pictures of the trip. Nothing was too much trouble and he kept everyone engaged the entire time. At the end of our trip he sent us extra info and links to make our stay the best and so we could get more out of our stay. And great clear photos of sights along the way, with no people in them. Quinton certainly has alot of passion for his beautiful home island. I would not hesitate to recommend his tours to anyone wanting a well organised, informative and fun day. So glad we booked the day we did.
