We liked it a lot Our tour guy was awesome And the bus driver was awesome too Wish we could of stayed at the waterfall and gardens longer that we got too It said 2 hours and we have about 90 mins or a little less
Don’t care for the stop at the local shop that wasn’t on the agenda
Love the shrimp place we stopped at and ate it was delicious
Didn’t seem like it was 9 hours

Kainoa was wonderful, narrating almost continuously so that we learned so much about Oahu. Also, our ‘captain’ was a great driver!
Cathy_A, Jan 2026
It was an amazing way to see the island on our first day in Hawaii! The stops along the way we're the perfect length to explore, but keep on track to see all the stops places on the itinerary.

Our Guide (Brandon) was super duper knowledgeable about everything!!! There wasn’t a moment he wasn’t informing us about the animals, history and culture! It was awesome. The tour was a very long day though. We were so sad to hear that the company was changing directions as it offered such a nice variety of stops around the island (the Blowhole, the Temple, Waimea Waterfall, Dole Plantation, etc.). It really was an excellent overview of Oahu. Mahalo!
Julie_B, Dec 2025
This tour enabled us to visit many sites on the island. The guide and driver were very good and knowledgable. The Waimea Falls and North Shore very pretty. Don't forget to enjoy a Dole Whip!
Cattaliya_S, Dec 2025
Excellent tour guide and driver. Both had good energy for a long and full day of sightseeing and well informed.

This is a very informative tour. Our guide Brandon was the best. Very knowledgeable and attentive. He was giving suggestions on things we might enjoy while on the island. And the bus was amazing! It was so nice to be driven around. Josh, our driver did an amazing job

Hailey the tour guide was FANTASTIC! She was kind, knowledgeable, entertaining and amazing. Today was her last day as a tour guide sadly for others who won’t get to have her. She is a botanist and cares genuinely about the plants and animals and Hawaii.
She made our tour very enjoyable! She also kept everyone on time.
Pay her more and keep her!! 🤗
Tour was good and lots of fast moving stops that kept it all interesting.

Hailie and June were great host, friendly and informative. Trip very worthwhile. Shrimp meal was excellent. Waterfall unable to swim disappointing

Hi Larry,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Hailie and June provided a great experience and that you found the tour worthwhile and the shrimp meal excellent. We'll certainly pass along your kind words to them!
We completely understand your disappointment about not being able to swim at Waimea Falls. As you noted, the lifeguards determine daily if swimming is allowed based on waterfall flow, water levels, and overall safety conditions. Their top priority is always the well-being of all our guests.
Thank you again for joining us on the Ultimate Circle Island Tour. We hope you consider traveling with us again soon!

Long day, early pickup then
Hawaii rush hour traffic at the end spoiled it.
The guide, driver and tour stops were good.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hi,
Thank you for your review of the All Inclusive Ultimate Circle Island Tour. We are delighted that you found the guide, driver, and tour stops good. We start early precisely to allow us to cover the full 120 miles of Oahu’s most scenic coastline and include eight great locations, such as 1.5 hours at the stunning Waimea Valley, a generous 2 hours for your delicious shrimp lunch, 1 hour to explore Haleiwa, the Surfing Capital of the World, and 20-30 minutes at every other visited location.
We want to acknowledge that hitting Hawaii rush hour traffic on the return trip made the day longer than ideal. It is an unfortunate reality that heavy traffic is an unpredictable factor we cannot control, especially when returning to the hotel areas during peak times. The quality of the tour, the stops, and the service from our staff represent the value we deliver, while the island's traffic conditions are entirely outside of our control.
Aloha!

This was a great tour. Emily the tour guide is an incredible storyteller. She gage sommuvh context and background on each stop
And also history on Hawaiian Islands. She is animal and nature lover. The crew was so much great that made the whole day amazing experience.

We'll be sure to pass along your high praise to Emily and the rest of the crew who contributed to your amazing experience.
We appreciate you choosing us for your adventure, and we hope to welcome you back to Hawai‘i soon!
Gabriela_S, Dec 2025
Long day but great for those who want multiple stops and views. Emily, a devotee of the environment, didn't stop for a moment and generously conveyed her love for hawaii, the natural world, and smart conservation. Kudos to paul, the driver. My only comment for solos - this is a large group experience so lots of interaction w others shouldn't be expected. That doesn't detract from the experience and if one wants to focus on nature and seeing as much as possible - this is it.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

Full day filled with nice views, good food and a lot of history!! 10/10 recommend. Just be prepared and don’t schedule anything else unless it’s late in the day because the tour last all day but it’s so worth it!!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Aloha Jazmine,
Mahalo nui loa for your fantastic review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had a full day filled with nice views, good food, and a lot of history on our All Inclusive Ultimate Circle Island Tour with Waimea Waterfall and Lunch. A 10/10 recommendation is the highest compliment we could receive!
We truly appreciate you highlighting the full-day nature of the tour. You are spot on—it's a complete adventure across Oʻahu designed to show you the best of the island, which is why it takes a whole day. We are so glad to know you felt it was so worth it!
Our goal is always to provide a safe, memorable, and comprehensive look at the real Hawaiʻi, complete with delicious North Shore lunch and all admissions included, like Waimea Valley.
We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Mahalo,

This is a big bus, 45 seats. If you seat back you hear only half of the conversation, since the other guys don’t have a microphone. I would have preferred a 20 people group, you get a more personal experience. Hence my 4 stars. Lunch is included in the trip price, which is a plus.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hi,
Thank you so much for your review and the 4-star rating! We are glad you enjoyed the included lunch and appreciate your feedback regarding the group size.
While we understand the preference for a more intimate experience that other circle island tour providers may offer with smaller vehicles, Oahu Nature Tours specifically chooses to use our deluxe motorcoach for the All Inclusive Ultimate Circle Island Tour, Waimea Falls & Lunch for several important reasons. This luxury motorcoach is extremely well maintained, making it far more reliable and comfortable than the older, less reliable, and often uncomfortable minibuses used by some other companies. Because we offer the best circle island tour at the best price, which includes your lunch and Waimea Falls admission, we experience very high demand, necessitating the use of this deluxe motorcoach.
To enhance the safety and quality of your experience, we staff the tour with both a professional driver, who is focused entirely on safe navigation, and a second professional, highly educated, and entertaining nature guide dedicated solely to providing excellent, focused commentary. To ensure everyone hears all the conversation and commentary clearly, the bus is equipped with an excellent PA system.
Furthermore, our bus seats are very comfortable, and it features huge windows, elevated higher above the ground, which allow for significantly better and more scenic views as you travel. Additionally, it has a state-of-the-art air conditioning and air filtration system that is actually better than those found on commercial airliners, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment throughout the day. We hope these factors contributed positively to your overall experience, and we look forward to having you ride with Oahu Nature Tours again.
Aloha

Brandon_M, Nov 2025
Good bang for your buck, see lots of stops on the island. Boyodo temple is quick but my favorite site and is worth visiting. Cons are It's a really long day and the lunch included isn't very good like most all day tours I'd pack snacks or buy lunch. Our tour guide was okay and be prepared to waste time waiting on others to get back on the bus late.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hi Brandon,
Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback on the All Inclusive Ultimate Circle Island Tour. We are so pleased to hear that you found the tour to be a "good bang for your buck" and that you enjoyed seeing so many great stops across the island! We are especially happy that the Byodo-In Temple was a highlight for you; it is a truly special stop, and we agree that it is worth the visit. We acknowledge that this is a very long day, packed with memorable sights, and we are committed to minimizing wait times for all guests. We continuously train our guides on efficient time management and emphasize the importance of all guests strictly adhering to the schedule for the enjoyment of the entire group. We are also sorry to hear that the included lunch did not meet your expectations. We typically receive positive feedback on our local shrimp plate, but we understand that tastes vary. We value your honest review and hope that the many beautiful sights you experienced will bring you back to tour with us again soon.
Aloha,
