Booked by mistake but was better than what I thought I was going to get! - Great experience with my family! Hiking to the top was an amazing experience at 7am, visiting all the locations and eating the whip was so much fun.

Worth it - Had a wonderful time. Crater hike isn't for everyone. Not easy but worth it when you reach the top. Saw turtles on shore. Many stops of different things. Highly recommend

A really great trip for our first time in Hawaii - This was a great tour. We got to experience a little of everything on this tour. The hike was great and the view from the top of Diamondhead was amazing! Our driver, Jon, was a lot of fun! As extra, he took us for malasada’s at Leonard’s Bakery Food truck. Took us to a great shrimp truck, Jenny’s Shrimp! Also took us to see turtles hanging out on the beach! Overall, just a really great experience for us on our first trip to Hawaii!

10 out of 10 Recommend! - John, our driver, shared a wealth of knowledge about the island and island life. He was funny, considerate and respectful. We got to see and experience a lot of the island in a short amount of time, 11 hours. I would recommend 10/10 times! ❤️ Mahalo

Great hike, fun tours - The first part of the trip involved a breathtaking hike up to the top of Diamond Head. It was breath taking both in terms of views (which were truly amazing) and in physicality (99 stair steps in one part, though there was an easier way to the top if you choose it). The rest of the trip was less amazing, but still worth it: * Food truck stop for lunch, with a pretty sizable list of options. My family of three had three different styles of food. * Dole Plantation for some whipped pineapple. * Macadamia nut farm for some awesome nuts and coffee. * Lots of stops at different beaches, though you don't have a whole lot of time at individual beaches. Our tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable.

Great Introduction to the Island - We enjoyed this tour. It allowed us to see more of the island and decide where we should visit more in-depth/plan another visit. We appreciated the small group atmosphere.

Day trip full of sights! - Stephanie was amazing! She was super insightful and full of great facts about Oahu. Diamond head was incredible (definitely pack a change of clothes because it gets really sweaty!) Also loved touring all the beautiful beaches and of course the Dole whip from the Dole plantation! Highly recommend!

May Trip - The hike to a diamond head crater was phenomenal! The views were spectacular! Our guide John was fun and informative! He made great suggestions and advice! The vibe at the food trucks was really nice. And the views at the beaches. I did not much care for the 45 minutes spent at the Dole plantation! Anyways - this was a lovely way to see the entire island!
