The stops were all great, just very crowded.
Also when one realizes that that beach is crowded and or un-swimable / snorkeling a different beach should have been selected by the experienced driver.

Even though our bus broke down we still had a fantastic and eventful experience - our tour guide was such a gorgeous gentleman with loads of information on all our destinations and we were treated like family - got loads of photos to remember our day 😊

Had the most horrible experience ever.. horrible shuttle ride to pick up location.. sat at the pick up location for an hour before we left and started the tour .. I thought we were taking a charter bus for one… we had to stop numerous times for ppl to use the restroom… our first actual spot we ended up being stuck there for an hour because our transit had a gas leak and the driver had to go return the transit and then come all the way back to get us … our time was then shorted at every stop after that.. we were only left to snorkel for 30 mins versus 1 or 2 original time and the last stop at the door plantation we got there with only 10 mins to spare before they closed the doors on us!! Horrible horrible horrible experience!!!

During my time on the bus tour my bus driver, Schnider, was continually inappropriately touching me and talking to me in an unprofessional manner. After the tour Schnider gained my phone number from the information I provided during my registration and reached out to me. He said “ I hope I am not being unprofessional; I was wondering if you would be down for a drink later. 🙂” I am greatly uncomfortable by this and hope that nobody else has this experience.

Going around the whole island is a great introduction to Oahu. Some stops are tedious but overall you get a lot of photo stops and learn interesting facts about the history and culture. I just wish there was more time at the beach. We had 1 hour and 20 minutes to get the snorkeling gear, change, get in the beach, rinse, & change back into our clothes. I only ended up getting in the beach for like 25-30 min because of lines. Also more lunch time as there were lines and I felt rushed.

Fun trip, beautiful culture, nice people everywhere you go. Weather ocean absolutely priceless. Love it ! Will be back!

I guess you got what you paid for. Driver is funny and friendly. The snorkeling part was a bit disappointed cos the beach doesn’t have anything to see so I saw only one guest doing it. That said, we had a good time.

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide! He made sure we had the best experience and was so incredibly knowledgeable about the island and history. He was very inclusive with the kids to make sure they had a wonderful time as well as it is a long day and kids tend to get board! I would recommend this 100% if you want to have a relaxing day but still get to experience the island! The shops you stop at are much cheaper than what you will find in Waikiki too!

I had a great time on this tour! David (sorry I forgot your Hawaiian name) treated us like family and was very personable. He had a wealth of knowledge and fun little tid bits he shared about the island based on his personal life experiences. He ensured we had the opportunity to use our time wisely and also got us to most stops before all the other buses arrived, which was great! We avoided a lot of waiting and crowds! Due to the water conditions he took us to a different location for snorkelling. And although the water conditions were murky and not ideal for snorkelling, the location was still a ton of fun and beautiful! Really the water conditions were out of his control and he did his best to accommodate an alternative. My 6.5 year old son didn’t love the tour, but if he could have it his way, he would spend his entire trip at the hotel pool. However, once it was over he decided he really liked it.
It was long, a lot of driving. But we now know of two locations we’d like to take the time to explore more during our stay or for another stay. I definitely recommend this tour at the beginning of your stay (day 2 or 3). There is a lot of shopping opportunities which is great for getting friends and family little gifts and there was so much food! Kahuku Shrimp was delicious! And so much fresh fruit! Really I would give it a 4.5 review. The only reason I didn’t give a full 5 stars is because sadly if you’re at the back of the bus it can be hard to hear your guide. But that’s it.

The tour guide/driver Lani and lunch were great but the tour itself was lackluster as it was mostly drive bys rather than experiences.
The absolute worst part was the snorkeling which was the most horrible experience at a rocky and dirtiest beach where there was nothing to see and my husband got severely injured on the rocky waters.
