Our tour was great, the tour guide was local and knew everything there is to know about the island. I highly recommend! It was a small group tour and you could openly ask questions throughout the tour.

    Stephanie is Amazing!

    Lindi_S, Apr 2026
    Stephanie was amazing! High class tour guide, very informative. We laughed and had fun the entire trip.

    Small group, great guide!

    Sandy_F, Mar 2026
    Picked up from our hotel on time and had a small group in the van (7 of us total). Alan was a great guide and even though we had a quiet group, he kept right on giving us the information and kept us on schedule. We didn’t want to spend the entire day on a tour so this was the perfect amount of time. It was raining most of our tour (a light drizzle) which ended up being great for us because none of the stops were crowded including the North Shore food trucks!

    Awesome, highly recommend!

    This tour had the perfect amount of stops to see! We probably would not have seen as much without it. Our guide Stephanie was kind, knowledgeable and funny. She made the tour that much more enjoyable! A definite must do!

    Excellent tour!

I really enjoyed conversating with the both of you as well. Please come and visit the Island again when you get a chance. Thank you again for joining us. Mahalo Jonah Fun Group Hawaii

    Christiane_T, Feb 2026
    John, our friendly driver is a very excellent tour guide for us. He is very knowledgeable and gave us all the details of main areas we went. We are lucky to have him as our tour guide. The tour is very fantastic. John brought us to every place described in the tour description

    Coastal Tour

    John was our host and he was fantastic. We booked the small group tour but we're the only ones on it! He took his time and tailored everything to our needs. We saw so much and learned so much history about everything we saw. Lots to eat, from malasadas from Leonards to Dole whip from the Dole Plantation. Beautiful photo stops along the east and north shore. Thanks John for a memorable day! Mahalo and Aloha!

    Was just ok. Very underwhelming.

    Yvonne_J, Jan 2026
    Was a small group as advertised. Driver was pleasant tho nothing extra. Monotone with his info, but also forthcoming. The van was a bummer. Older, and we sat in the 4th row of five, and it was the most uncomfortble, bumpy, and loud ride you can imagine. Our biggest complaint is that the tour advertises a lunch stop at the famous North Shore Food Trucks, including the World Renowned Giovanni's. That didn't happen. We were informed that "they're not as good as they used to be", so they chose another "better place". We ended up at a single food truck, with four options and was in an alley a couple miles away, literally next to the garbage cans. We were wanting ALL the options of the other space, i.e. Shrimp and chicken stands Hawaiian Ice stands, Crafts and the colors and fun of the whole space. We were also informed that most of "those" food trucks were closed on Sundays anyway. HOWEVER, we drove by them after our less-than perfect lunch, and they were ALL open with plenty of activity and customers! Overall, the day was hugely dissapointing. Would not recommend.

    It was just as advertised. We saw everything on the itinerary as well as an extra stop our guide, Allen, threw in. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and really worked to give us a good day

    Best circle tour on the island!

    Jacqueline_A, Nov 2025
    We had an absolutely knowledgeable and lovely tour guide, Stephanie. Stephanie knows the whole island and has interesting stories to share as she takes genuine care to make sure guests have the most enjoyable ride and get to see and experience everything the island has to offer. Thank you Stephanie for making our first visit to Hawaii so memorable. Highly recommend this tour!!

    Do not miss this tour.

    10/10 experience. Our guide was amazing showing and explaining every stop. Gave us tips and very informative with all our questions.

    Worth every single penny!

    Tina_M, Oct 2025
    Stephanie was incredible! We learned so much! She was personal and kind. We stopped at so many cool places. Great way to explore the island for cheap while hitting so many places. Would absolutely do again.

    Circle tour around the island

    Linda_W, Sep 2025
    Tour guide wry knowlegeable and very friendly asking us how long we would like to stop at each of the stops

    A comprehensive tour of the island

    Roberta_K, Sep 2025
    Stefanie showed us so many sights -far more than stated on the itinerary - and pointed out a lot of information along the way. She worked around what we wanted to do as well. A long day but feel we saw a lot of the island.

    North Shore Excursion

    Jeffrey_S, Aug 2025
    Took the North Shore tour and we loved it. Saw numerous beaches and sites. Even got to see some sea turtles as an added bonus.

    Enjoyable Tour

    Benjamin_Z, Aug 2025
    My daughter, grandson, and me had a wonderful tour of the interesting locales in Oahu. Our driver/guide, Alan, was very knowledgeable pointing to us the various areas as we drove along, and he was most patient, too. We were also lucky that we were the only passengers on the van so our discussion with him was more personal. Highly recommended.

    Great way to see the...

    Ryan_F, Jul 2025
    Great way to see the island without renting a car. Our guide Jon was amazing! All of the stops were really cool especially Turtle beach.

    Skip the tour: get a guidebook and rent a car.

    Alice_R, Jul 2025
    Sadly, it was a small group tour of every over priced tourist trap to spend money. While the guide seemed knowledgeable about Oahu, he spent most of the time pointing out the homes that sold for millions of dollars to rich people. He wanted to deviate from the scheduled lunch stop to stop instead at a location with only one food truck that was overcrowded with tour buses. What is going on?

    5 stars!

    Tami_B, Jul 2025
    Great island tour! We saw turtles at Turtle Beach, toured the Dole Plantation, got bananas at a farm stand, tried Kona coffee, and much more! A great way to spend a day in Hawaii.

    The best day!

    Kim_M, Jul 2025
    Our tour guide was awesome. He was knowlegable, professional, and we felt like we had our own security guard which was nice since we were a group of Moms with younger kids. The sites were beautiful and there was never a dull moment along the way.

    Great guide-not the best itinerary

    Dianne_M, Jun 2025
    Our guide, Allen was very good. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The itinerary was a bit too rushed. Stopping for 10 or 15 minutes wasn’t really enough at some locations. The itinerary included Dole plantation and entry ticket but there was no ticket. We were told not to go on the train. We only went into the store. My suggestion is to go to fewer places and give more timeAND a ticket to include train at Dole.
