Elf will take you wherever you want to go on the island, and share all of her wonderful information about the island. We had very limited time, but she was able to take us to a wonderful snorkeling stop, food trucks, Dole Plantation, Bydo in Temple, and when I Mentioned I was interested in getting some Kona coffee, she took us to Green World coffee farms, which happened to be on the way to Dole Plantation. Do NOT hesitate to book with her-you’ll be glad you did!🤓

Disappointing, silent driver with limited knowledge

DrLiselotte_D, Jan 2025

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend Elf as a tour guide. We have travelled extensively and participated in a large number of tours both group and privately. She was silent for the majority of the entire tour And would drop us off at the various stops without explaining where to go or what it was that we were seeing. We ended up wandering around looking for whatever it is that we were supposed to find (blowhole, lookout, temple). She would respond to a specific question but generally with impatience and on several occasions provided incorrect information and on one of the questions told me to look it up via Google. The stops that she chose to take us to were poorly planned and not at all a good use of our time. She spent almost an hour and a half taking us to the wrong food trucks while refusing to accommodate a request to stop and walk a bit in the park. She absolutely refused to accommodate our requests. We sent a list of things we would like to see and do prior to getting together, which we had compiled by looking at some of the similar group tours that were available in the area. She arbitrarily put some of those things on her tour but neglected to make any reservations or let us know that reservations needed to be made so we were unable to stop and do some of the things that we should’ve been able to do. She was generally very negative and complained a lot, Specifically that she had a sinus infection from the poor air quality and that the Chinese had bought up all the mom and pop storefronts in Waikīkī and put in the luxury stores in addition to many other negative comments generally. The major disappointment was that she absolutely provided no information or the information that she provided was incorrect. I had asked if she could provide some information about the history of the island, She responded “that It was identical to the colonisation of the United States”. This is absolutely untrue. When we asked about the story behind the Byoda Temple she sighed and then stated “ It’s a replica of a 200-year-old Japanese temple, don’t know when it was built- it is not a working Buddhist temple anyway” . Also untrue. Basically, she drove in silence and only answered any questions sullenly or with annoyance. It was the most uncomfortable and stressful tour I’ve ever taken.

Within the first 30 minutes on Tour .. you made vulgar and inappropriate comments about our Asian population .. then within the first hour you called President Obama the "N" word .. that is where you lost me .. I rest my case

Having a private driver...

Brandon_D, Dec 2024

Having a private driver is the way to go, we got to see things at our pace and got to see things that we wouldn’t have if we had gone the bus route, it was much less touristy

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Mahalo Nui for your kindness throughout the day! I am glad I was able to deliver the kind of memories you all were looking for! I wish you all a Happy, Healthy 2025 🎋

Wonderful private/custom tour

Alberto_P, Jul 2021

Elf was excellent. Gave us everything she had. Your was completely custom. She is a local who loves the island and you can tell. She was great with my kids, who are a handful. She was patient and respectful. Took us to great places and had wonderful recommendations. Highly, highly recommend her. I kept her number for future trips and to recommend to friends.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Aloha, I remember you folks and am grateful for your kind words and sharing your family .. for the day! A Hui Hou, elf

Amazing tour!!!!

Cheri_B, May 2021

For people that have think that they have seen it all, no you haven't and elf was amazing at showing this to you. We even got to see a turtle and got some fresh fruit from a local fruit stand. Had so much fun and Elf is amazing and very knowledgeable about everything you could probably ask about or wanna know. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Aloha and Mahalo for our day together ... I am hopeful to meet up with you all again! Be well, elf

Great trip!

Auce9798, May 2021

The day with Elf was fantastic. She took great care of my wife and me. Highly recommended for a custom tour of Oahu. You can’t go wrong touring with Elf to see things you might not have seen on your own.

Aloha and Mahalo for your kindness! A Hui Hou, elf

Elf is the most amazing....

Jennifer_D, Apr 2021

Elf is the most amazing. She is well loved on the island and can make your trip feel like you are part of the local culture. We feel like she is part of our girl tribe and will cherish the memories she made with us forever. Elf, we miss you already and will be back to see you soon.
