Would recommend! - Our tour guide john was incredible. Not only did he have so much knowledge of hawaii but he seemed authentic with his words. All the stops were incredible and well planned out.

What an amazing time - Stephanie was absolutely amazing. She arrived on time. She was very interactive on the entire tour. She was very friendly and gave us time to really enjoy the sites. We saw sea turtles on a beach and she stopped at a site not on the tour so we could experience the turtles. She even went out of her way to drop off the certificates we left on the van at the end of the tour.

Great tour of Oahu! - We had a memorable day with our guide, Stephanie. We got to see many areas of Oahu and many stops for pictures and samples of local foods. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Great Island tour! - Alan took us around the island. He was a funny guide and pointed out so many different stories and facts all along the drive. This guide itself started out with a hike that our whole family enjoyed (including kids and grandmas). We all really enjoyed this tour since it took us to many spots throughout the day. We didn’t need to spend too much time in any one location so we got a good scenic tour of the island and made it back to the hotel for dinner. I will definitely recommend this tour to visitors.

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

Great hike! views are incredible! - The hike up to the top of Diamond Head was the highlight of the tour. Being picked up and returned directly to our hotel was a big bonus. Our guide, Stephanie, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! The North shore was very nice.

Well worth it! - Jon, our tour guide was excellent. Hike to Diamond Head was great for seeing sunrise and bonus rainbow. Doughnuts afterwards hit the spit. Jon was really great at explaining the areas we went to and the history. Only thing that would have made it better would have been more time at Dole plantation as there was a lot to potentially do there but was also too crowded to do much in the time allotted.

Didn't enjoy the itinerary/ not worth the money you pay - The tour started from 5:40am just to go to Diamond Head. This is much cheaper to catch an Uber yourself and go there directly at a normal time. I was the only person on the tour before the rest of the group joined after the hike for the rest of the day trip. The trip involved hopping on and off the bus to see beaches and parks which wasn't as exciting. It would of been easier to just go to different places yourself. I didn't enjoy this tour at all.
