I was more than pleased with this tour. Marvie our guide was great! This is the best way to see many of the major sites. Snorkeling on the north shore was still rough from storms last month. Fantastic lunch stop. Dole Plantation, Blowhole and other parks were all great stops. Don't miss this!

Memorable day

Jenni, Jul 2026

You will learn a lot about the Hawaiian culture from Darren. Please respect him and the other travelers by not talking so much that no one can hear him. You have the opportunity to eat a lot on this tour. The pineapple from Uncle Ds cousin is heavenly. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen. A portable fan would be nice to have as well since the bus can get warm. The bathrooms along the way are public and not private, so keep that in mind. It's a long day and you're eating a lot. Didn't get to snorkel because the water at turtle Bay is still not clear due to flooding a few months ago. It will take time to filter out. I thought it was a great price for all the sites and information. Uncle D is a sweat native and full of knowledge. Highly recommend 🤙🏻

An Unforgettable Island Tour with an Outstanding Guide

Tina_W, Jul 2026

This tour exceeded our expectations and was worth every penny. The island was absolutely beautiful, and there’s no way we could have discovered all of the incredible places we visited on our own in just one day. Our driver and tour guide, Uncle “D,” was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared fascinating insights about the island’s history, culture, and native traditions. He also took the time to answer everyone’s questions and made sure every guest felt welcome and well cared for throughout the day. My granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the best of the island while learning from an outstanding guide.

no good communication ....

Winona_M, Jul 2026

no good communication . were waiting on a different meeting place . alternative meeting place was not communicated on time .

You can find a better tour

Kristina_P, Jul 2026

The tour was ok. Two areas that need improvement, the bus and the lack of toilet facilities. The buses ac was not working properly and we were all extremely hot and uncomfortable. Any tour that is 8 plus hours should either have a toilet on the bus or have lots of access to one. We spent an hour and a half at a beach with no toilet and no where to change.

Some good some bad

Clarie_H, Jul 2026

It’s a long day a lot of walking so make sure you wear comfortable shoes. The only bad thing were where we ended up swimming and snorkeling. The water was so brown and ugly. You could not even see your feet. Did see some turtle swimming though. After seeing all the beautiful water on the way there and the crystal clearness of it all we were excited about getting in it, but we end up getting in dirty brown water! Very disappointing.

Fun tour 🐢🌺

Disaster

Hawaii 2026

Kelly was a great tour guide and made the experience enjoyable and also provided lots of history and information in regards to Oahu!

Welcome to Hawaii!

Lanisha_G, Jun 2026

As a solo traveler, the Oahu Circle Island Tour was one of the absolute highlights of my trip. The scenery was breathtaking, and every stop was more beautiful than the last. What truly made this experience unforgettable was Uncle D. He wasn’t just a phenomenal driver, he was an exceptional historian and storyteller who brought the island to life with his knowledge, humor, and genuine aloha spirit. He added so much value to the tour and gave me a much deeper appreciation for Oahu. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the island!

Not worth the money

Jayesh_T, Jun 2026

Wasted time by making unnecessary stops like 1 for donuts. Lunch place served horrible food. I am sure tour operator Kelly gets a commission. Spent hour and 15 minutes on a beach that was dirty and poorly located. Seat were cramped with no pocket in front to put stuff. Only allowed us to spend 30 minutes at Dole plantation which was the main attraction. Should have had atleast an hour at Dole plantation.

Lovely Day

Denise_R, Jun 2026

We had a fabulous experience, loved our guide Kelly. We went to some wonderful places to eat and enjoyed the day.

Oahu Circle Tour

This is a great day to learn about the history, culture and geography of Oahu. Quintin was a ball of energy all day and has amazing knowledge about Hawaii.

Sunrise fun

JOSEPH_D, Jun 2026

A great way to know the island area by having a tour service guide. It’s nice not to worry about driving

Uncle D is an original...

Gonzalo_L, Jun 2026

Uncle D is an original native Hawaiian who is very knowledgeable in the history of Hawaii. During his tour people will experience the beauty of the island, its people and their food. The tour takes you to beautiful cliffs and beaches where the views are spectacular. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about Hawaii.

Great experience!

Concepcion_S, Jun 2026

Very informative Fun and interesting. Enjoyed the ride in a clean, air-conditioned bus. Very comfortable

Our experience was nice,...

anhel_s, Jun 2026

Our experience was nice, our Driver Marvy was very Informative, funny & helpful. We had a lot of delicious food and saw parts of the Island I hadn’t seen in previous trips. We were back in our hotel by 3/4pm

Great way to see Oahu....

Nicole_L, Jun 2026

Great way to see Oahu. Some stops were shorter than scheduled and the Diamond Head stop was completely missed. I chalk it up to the late start. Our bus did not arrive until 7:30 though it was scheduled for 7:00. The tour guide was super nice and knowledgeable.

Much Aloha and Real Hawaii

Kelly_H, Jun 2026

Lots of local Hawaiian culture and wonderful ohana feel. Our guide, Uncle D, set this tour apart from others with his kind aloha spirit. He told us local stories and made us feel like intimate family. We saw hidden beaches and loved getting out of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki for the day, seeing the quieter beaches and little communities along the trip. Definitely try the pineapple boats at the first stop sold by Uncle D’s nephew! You’ll enjoy this rich and informative tour.

Perfect

HomeroC_V, Jun 2026

A must do experience for first time visitors like ourselves. Excellent tour guide with a great deal of knowledge

Uncle D Tour guide was amazing

Grant_W, Jun 2026

Amazing tour to see the real culture of the island. Great experience for the kids and I. Money well spent.

Uncle D is the man!

Jeremy_T, Jun 2026

Uncle D is amazing!!! This is well worth the price. There is a ton of history and culture here to learn from. I could spend a week learning about this wonderful place and still feel like an outsider. Love this place!

Excellent Oahu Island tour

Kren_C, Jun 2026

Excellent tour! The guide was very knowledgeable, organized, and friendly. He covered a lot of ground in a timely fashion without feeling rushed. There was a nice balance of activities and information - nature, culture, food, history. I enjoyed the day and learned a lot! It was a great way to see the island without needing to drive or rent a vehicle. I'm glad I went and highly recommend this tour to others.

Julie_B, May 2026

This was a great, relaxing way to see the entire island. Marvie was great. I wish we learned a little more history of the island. Also, we didn’t snorkel because the water was brown. Several other beaches along the way looked better.

Check snorkeling conditions prior to booking

Harrison_J, May 2026

Decent tour- comfortable seats and great views from the bus. We were a little confused about snorkeling - it’s actually across the street from your stop at the macadamia nut farm/shop. We are a young family but other travelers with limited mobility definitely wouldn’t have been able to make that walk across the road in the heat (also the second to last stop). Unfortunately, we couldn’t even snorkel because the water was brown. I know that’s out of their control but they likely knew ahead of time since locals we spoke to locals who said it had been like that since the storms. No visible turtles for us other than a view that bobbed their heads up out of the water a few times.

Excellent Service

Neela_P, May 2026

Fun tour, pickup was on time, guide was very knowledgeable with good humor 😄, I would give 10/10 for their service, because of marathon event Diamond Head route was closed, so they took us to Nu'uanu Pali State Point which was not in the itinerary. We were happy to see the Pali State Point as we didn't plan for that.
