Having travelled extensively in many countries, I’ve learned that a great guide can make all the difference between simply seeing a place and truly understanding it. Tyler Marsh was one of those guides.
His knowledge of Oahu, Hawaiian culture, history, and local life was outstanding, but what really stood out was his ability to present it all in a relaxed, engaging, and entertaining way. He kept the entire group interested throughout a full day of touring and was always happy to answer questions.
The scenery around Oahu is spectacular, but Tyler’s commentary, stories, and local insights added a dimension that we would never have experienced on our own. He was professional, friendly, punctual, and clearly passionate about sharing his island with visitors.
This was one of the best guided tours we’ve taken in Hawaii. Highly recommended, and Tyler deserves every one of these five stars

This is a nice small group, so it is more efficient than larger bus tours. Our guide, Tyler, was born and raised on Oahu. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining! My 17 and 22 year old daughters really enjoyed this, and they are hard to please!

Heather was great. We did not stop at all stops as listed. Had to call the tour operator for pick up details as the information wasn’t clear.
heathergoudge, May 2026
Tyler gave a lot of information which was fantastic he kept us interested and entertained - Tyler called ahead lol
Ellese_G, May 2026
Our driver was Nevin, he was a bit late picking us up but this did not ruin our experience. Nevin is a great tour guide/driver. He was even willing to help us take photos and talk about life growing up in Hawaii.
Kathleen_R, May 2026
Nevin , we had a wonderful time !! Nevin was very informative, he definitely knew Hawaii !! Took us around to some great places !
Douglas_n, May 2026
Christine was very knowledgeable about the island. We covered a lot of ground. It would have been nice to stop at more north shore beaches, but time doesn’t allow for that.
Kelly_C, Apr 2026
Our driver Heather was amazing . Very knowledgeable. I had a great time . She was great at pointing out all the landmarks
Nancy_C, Apr 2026
Christine was very knowledgeable and imparted stories and tidbits about the area. She is an excellent tour driver.

Tyler Marsh was phenomenal. He made us an unforgettable day despite the rain and storms. Lunch was delicious. Van was clean and comfy
Sandra_M, Mar 2026
Very interesting and got to see and stop at several areas. Our tour guide Tyler was great! He was very knowledgeable.
Alice_P, Mar 2026
Tyler was very informative. He seems to know just about everything about Oahu, and he kept it light and entertaining.
Shaun_B, Jan 2026
Christine was awesome and very knowledgeable and all the stops are amazing. Great experience for a look at honolulu in a short amount of time.
Brade_S, Jan 2026
Tyler was a great host and guide! Took us around the island and showed us many spots that we will now explore on our own. Lunch at Tanaka’s hit the spot!
Natasha_H, Jan 2026
Did not follow the itinerary. We really wanted to stop in Haleiwa town as advertised but it did not happen. I suggest Viator get in touch with Daniel’s and advertise the accurate trip. Was a good way to get an idea of the island and see some highlights. Christine was very informative and knew a lot about the island.
Holly_B, Jan 2026
Tour did not follow iternary. Disappointed. Tour guide was nice and where we did stop was nice. People in group treated the tour more like a taxi than a tour... may talked during the ride while guide was trying to share information of sites. I should have paid more attention to the reviews. I only saw review that mentioned this but it was an important review. Driver seemed completely shocked when brought to her attention. I will not recommend this trip until the iternary reflects the tour truthfully. Please do not make excuses regarding traffic or people did not adhere to time for stops... this would not be true.
Les_B, Jan 2026
Was great and tour guide was very informative would be a great tour for anyone travelling to the island
Danelle_L, Dec 2025

Over all we enjoyed it !
Jeffrey_P, Dec 2025
Get a very knowledgeable tour person and very funny. She tried to lead us in Christmas songs
To much traffic o
In Waikiki
Princets_C, Dec 2025
The Small Group Excursion Provider (Daniels) charged extra for pickup, and Was late.
The Company of Daniels (employees) were not on the same page, which made it difficult to advised my 14 Family members of instructions, payment and time of pickup. However, the Driver apologized, and was quite friendly, and cooperative to fulfilled contract set forth by Viator. There is much confusion within the Daniels' Office among the employees. This makes it difficult to do future business with them.
Tracey_C, Dec 2025
Time is an estimate. Be flexible and gracious. Do not get the pineapple whip where you stop for lunch, wait til you go to Dole. It is the best!
John_K, Dec 2025
Over the years we have done this tour a few times and this was right up with them
Tyler our guide was Knowledgeable and entertaining.would highly recommend.
Mary_L, Nov 2025
I did it solo because my friends were at a conference and it was a great thing for me to do to see other parts of the island. It was very enjoyable!
Judith_T, Nov 2025
Excellent driver/tour guide, Christine. She knew the best place to stop for lunch, the "Shrimp the Bomb", a local treasure. We loved the macadamia nut farm.
Randall_B, Oct 2025
Our guide Tyler was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed our day seeing the sights of Oahu !
Jasmine_D, Oct 2025
This was amazing! especially for solo travelers who have a day or two extra and want to still get out beyond the main strip. The samples, the shops the locations, the information of history was immaculate! Our driver Tyler was absolutely the best and took great care of us! i wouldn’t want it any other way ❤️✨
Lorraine_R, Oct 2025
Big waves on the North Shore are seasonal and unfortunately we didn’t go in the right season. The rest of the tour and our guide Nevin was great. Dole could have been skipped as it was too crowded and too short. My only complaint was they don’t pick up at the cruise port.
Janet_J, Oct 2025
This was excellent and personal. There were three of us on the tour. All from Perth Western Australia so there was a connection already. The tour guide talked about being a local and his experiences growing up as well as his present family and the places they go to swim, snorkel and surf. He talked about the flora or lack thereof. He showed us Tommy the Turtle and friends. The differences between the geography/geology of the island and comparison with other islands in the Hawaiian Chain. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and I would recommend it to any tourist who wanted to see more then the beach at Waikiki.
Daniel_K, Oct 2025
The stops are spectacular views or touristy bathroom breaks. Both appreciated. The van is a little tight if full. Tyler did his best to provide a memorable trip.
Jocelyn_C, Oct 2025
This tour is great for first time visitors but this was not the tour I paid for. I booked the Small Group North Shore Circle Island Tour that included stops in Haleiwa Town and Giovanni Shrimp Truck which were mainly my interest since I’ve visited the other stops in my previous trips. I only found out that these were not included when the driver mentioned all the stops inside the coach when we were on our way. I showed the driver the itinerary of the tour I paid for and he apologized that he’s unable to accommodate us for those places since he’s doing the Oahu Circle Island Tour. I’m presuming that if there was not enough booking on the tour I paid for, Daniels Hawaii could have just cancelled it and refunded me so I can book with a different company that offered the tour instead of putting me on a different one which I’m not interested in. I’m really disappointed and feel like I’ve been ripped off and I think I’m entitled to a refund. On top of that I did not bring my water bottle coz the tour shows bottled water is included in the price but there was no bottled water in the bus. I’m never going to recommend Daniels Hawaii Tour to family and friends.
