We spent the day with Charlie who was a great guide. He had a good sense of humor, was personable, and shared a lot of information about the sites we were seeing and about all the islands. It was a great experience. Our favorite part was the botanical gardens with waterfall.

We really enjoyed our tour! RJ was a terrific guide - very knowledgeable, helpful, and entertaining. It was an all around great day. FYI to potential travelers - there's time to swim at the falls, if they're open.

Great experience to see more of the island. Our driver Kap was so knowledgeable about all things Hawaii. The trip was very well organized and as expected. I would highly recommend. I learned so much about the true Hawaiian culture not told in textbooks.

A comprehensive tour of the main sights around Oahu. Lots of stops, including opportunities for local snacks—fried bananas and Dole Whip—in addition to lunch.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the comprehensive tour around Oahu and the tasty local treats like fried bananas and Dole Whip along the way.
Rebecca_F, Mar 2026
This tour hits the highlights of the Oahu circle and is a great introduction to the island if you have limited time. The itinerary spells out clearly where you stop and for how long, so look at that when booking. With the exception of the waterfall, the stops on this tour were geared toward shopping and sampling Hawaiin treats. I’d have appreciated more time at the Dole Plantation; that stop was particularly rushed and only had time for ice cream. So, if you’re hoping to spend more time there, be mindful of that. I’d give the itinerary 4/5.
However, our tour guide and driver (John & John), were absolutely fantastic! Tour guide John helped us to get the most out of each stop and was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. You can tell he loves the island and his job, and I’d rate this team 5/5!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the Oahu highlights and that John & John made such a great impression with their knowledge and enthusiasm. We also appreciate your feedback about the itinerary and the Dole Plantation stop—it’s helpful for us and future guests.
Susan_W, Mar 2026
Tim was great! I would highly recommend. His sense of humor was a plus and I learned a lot about the island. Would recommend first thing of your trip, then you can experience individual sites for longer that interest your group.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour with Tim and appreciated his humor and knowledge of the island. Great tip about doing this tour first—so glad you found it helpful for planning the rest of your trip!
Donna_P, Mar 2026
Wonderful experience. Many stops and things to see. Driver was really impressive. Would recommend this to anyone
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed all the stops and sights on the tour. Your kind words about our driver mean a lot—thank you for recommending us!
Angie_A, Mar 2026
We booked this full island tour for the second day after we arrived on Oahu. We knew we were going to have additional days later during our stay to explore the island and used this tour to help plan some of those stops. We also had the chance to see somethings we wouldn't otherwise have had time to see.
Our driver John and guide John were fantastic! Both very knowledgeable about Hawaii and made our day trip so fun! They got us to all the popular spots before the other big tour busses and crowds arrived, giving us ample time at each stop, to shop and enjoy the amazing sites.
We had plenty of time to enjoy our lunch break at Tanaka's Shrimp in Kahuku. I loved the crispy chicken and my husband enjoyed his garlic shrimp.
Another reason we chose this tour is because of the number of participants was significantly smaller than the others we had looked at which we knew would make it that much more enjoyable. The bus was clean and very comfortable with room to store our purchases.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, which was very convenient after a long day!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re glad John made your Oahu tour fun and stress-free, and that you enjoyed the smaller group, comfortable bus, and delicious lunch.

Excellent overview of Oahu through seeing many places and hearing good stories about the island’s history and people. Best part was the guide and driver! Both John (guide) and Eric (driver) were excellent at their jobs! So nice to be in a medium size van with only 20 people (quick on and off).
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Oahu, hearing its stories, and experiencing the tour in a comfortable medium-size van.

There is a lot of information and beautiful scenic spots included in this tour. Our tour guide Bill, was so knowledgeable about Oahu and it's history. He is a certified tour guide and has been doing tours for 45 years. Bill made certain that we saw every location included in the tour snd gave us adequate time to explore. Our favorite location was the botanical gardens and Waimea Falls.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Mahalo for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour with Bill and loved the botanical gardens and Waimea Falls. We hope to see you again soon!

This was a very good experience. We had rain most of the morning, so make sure you prepare just in case for the rain I did, but I left everything at the hotel.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you still had a very good experience, even with the rainy morning. Great tip about being prepared for the weather — it can definitely be unpredictable! We hope to welcome you back again soon, rain or shine.

It was a great way to see the island. Ian was awesome! He did a great job handling the traffic detour on the way back. We would have liked to stop at the north shore. The bus needs better AC but otherwise a great day!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Mahalo for the review! We’re glad Ian made the tour smooth and enjoyable, even with the detour. We appreciate your feedback about the North Shore stop and AC—thank you for helping us improve!

Lawrence_R, Jan 2026
Be aware that despite the trip stating the maximum group size would be 24 people, our trip had 37 and could have been up to 40 apparently. This meant it took a lot of time for the everyone to get on and off the bus at every stop.
Richard_I, Jan 2026
Ian was great ! Made the trip interesting, informative and fun! The day went by fast and we saw a lot!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re so happy to hear Ian made the trip fun, informative, and engaging—and that you were able to see so much. Mahalo for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
