Oahu island tour!
Kylie_S, Apr 2024
Rick was awesome! He did a really great job on taking us to all things Hawaii! Even though you don’t get much time at each stop (except the Polynesian center), you have plenty of time to experience each place! You won’t go hungry or thirsty as there’s so much to eat and drink on this tour! Not to mention all of the souvenirs you can get along the way! Great day overall and would do again.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Aloha Kylie, Thank you for leaving us a review. I'll let Rick know and come back to see us soon.
Excellent!

MariaGina_G, Apr 2024
We had a great time! God blessed us with a wonderful group, pleasant weather and a knowledgeable, respectful and expert driver/ tour guide, Rick. We recommend this tour to those new to Oahu.

We appreciate your review and coming out with us. I'll pass the good words to Rick. Thanks
Pearl Harbor was amazing....
Sandra_P, Apr 2024
Pearl Harbor was amazing. Our tour guide was the best! The tour company should include lunch, snacks and water like other tours do. Other than that- an amazing day!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Aloha, Thank you for leaving us a review and we'll take having snacks and refreshments on the van for consideration.
Hawaii In A Nutshell
Theodore_J, Apr 2024
Our tour guide, Rick, made the entire experience memorable. He was extremely knowledgeable as to this host of every stop we visited, especially Pear Harbor, which was the highlight of the tour. He was very accommodating and provided great suggestions throughout the tour, in the event we came back and explored in depth some of the sites. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone, especially if your fortunate enough to have Rick leading your tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Mahalo! We appreciate you leaving us a review. It really helps small companies like ours.
Day trip Sightseeing in Oahu
Carolann_M, Apr 2024
Enjoyed the trip up the north coast. Stopping at a few local spots was great fun. The Polynesian Cultural Center was superb. I’m f course the venue sit to Pearl Harbor and being on the Arizona Memorial was unforgettable. Our tour guide, Rick was top notch
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Aloha, We appreciate you touring with us. I'll pass this review for Rick to see. Thank you!
NIce day but not as described in the VIATOR write up - a bit disappointed
Debra_P, Apr 2024
Excursion was nice but the description did not match what we did for the day. We stopped at the Dole Planatation only enough time to run in and shop and make on the bus. Then we had to give a lunch order at a shrimp place when the description read there was a BBQ. I asked the bus driver and he told me that changed since COVID and I told him shouldn't it up updated by now? No response. We had a nice time but were a bit disappointed we didn't get to do all we were thinking and lunch was a disappoinment as well because 2 of the 4 of us traveling do not eat fish.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Aloha, Thank you for touring with us and we appreciate your review. Yes, before Covid there was a bbq lunch. It was discontinued by the venue afterwards and we have changed the verbiage on Viator's platform some time ago. I'll check to see when you booked if it was before the change and will make an adjustment with Viator. Thanks
Fantastic day… unforgettable experience!

Honolulu area excursion
Dante_F, Mar 2024
Rick, our tour guide, always gave us extra explanations and tips (eucalyptus leaves, history, pointed out geographical sighting) and brought us to a very good shrimp farm/restaurant! The pace was pleasant yet timely and efficient. Rick is a very knowledgeable, courteous and pleasant guide. The small size of our group (11) made it even more enjoyable.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
we will pass along this amazing review to your tour guide. safe travels! see you next time! mahalo!
Great for first timers in Oahu
Jhey_Y, Mar 2024
Tour Type: Pearl Harbor - Dole Plantation - Polynesian Cultural Center (~$200+/person) I highly recommend this tour! Ricardo "Ric" was our awesome tour guide! He was prompt and timely with the time blocks of the tour. He was also very strategic in making sure we save our time (ex. Taking our orders ahead at Tanaka for lunch) which saved us a lot of time from being in that looong line! He very happily served us our meals at the comfort of our seats. He also took us to a MacNut Farm, a local farmstand, and drove by a few places that are bonuses from the tour itinerary. I think this tour is absolutely worth it especially if you're planning to not rent a car on your vacation. The fees include admission tickets at the Pearl Harbor USS Arizona (does not include the submarine tour) and Polynesian Cultural Center (3-day admission ticket). However, I personally think that 15-20% tip expectation (at least $30-$40/person) is steep after paying for a $200+/person tour. I don't believe that it is fair for the driver/ tour guide to be only paid in tips in that $200+ tour which is my understanding from what was stated on the laminated sign in the tour bus. I can say that many of those who are in our bus just said goodbye without leaving tips. Overall, it was a great experience! The tour offered a nice overview of the most popular and major attractions in Oahu! Great for first timers!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Aloha, Thank you for this detailed review of our tour. I hope you'll come back to visit us again. Yes the tour is $200 and also includes the Polynesian Cultural Center package that runs $90 per person. Tipping has always been optional and is not required. I will bring this review to our next staff meeting to discuss with intentions to improve. Thank you!
Nut Case
Denise_C, Mar 2024
I never give two stars on a review but I feel like I must. I don’t understand why the tour guide was talking politics. No one asked her. I don’t need her political opinions. She was also a conspiracy theorist. She said that the government has 15 cloud makers and they go into the mountains and make clouds so that the clouds cover the sunset and sun rise. She claimed that the sunset and sun rise have power and the government doesn’t want people to have power so they make the clouds to block people from getting power.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Aloha, Thanks for sharing with us. I'll look into this immediately with the tour guide.
Great day

Rick, The Greatest tour guide
Deborah_S, Mar 2024
Rick was my tour guide/driver. He was AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, AWESOME, EXTREMELY IMFORMATIVE, SUPERLATIVE and any other adjectives I may have missed. I truly enjoyed my day with him. I was hesitant about going alone. I am so glad I decided to go with him. I had read a previous review that specifically used his name. They were so on right. He introduced me to so many delicious foods, snacks, coffee, nuts and other things. There was never a dull moment. He gave the history of so many things prior to our arrival. And as I sat in the theaters, they repeated everything he said verbatimly. I had an enjoyable day with him. He was the best part of my entire 10 day trip. I will look for him again as I intend to visit soon with my grandchildren. I was outside picking leaves. Yes, leaves. I sat alone. But I never felt alone. He certainly made sure I was never left out.

Too much shopping
Connie_D, Mar 2024
We have a very nice time. Our tour guide was very informative. Pearl Habor was so moving. I would have liked to see some of the Macadamia Nut farm not just a store and Dole Planatation was also just a store.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Aloha, Mahalo for joining us. Please have a safe trip back home and see us again soon!
Amazing!
Laura_H, Mar 2024

Giftshop was nice.
Kim_B, Feb 2024
I wanted to see more of the plantation. Only able to see the gift shop. Disappointing, but fun. Thank you.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Aloha, Thank you for your honest review. The Dole Plantation does deserve more time spent. We have so much ground to cover on this island tour. We'll take this into consideration. Thanks Again
Fun and informative
kristi_s, Feb 2024
Shannon was a good guide. He told us about every local place and even counted down to get a great picture of different places. Pearl Harbor stop we had plenty of time to walk around. The dole pineapple stop was way too short with only an hour. Was unable to walk through the maze or take the train or even walk thru the gardens. Those waits were all 30 minutes. The Polynesian cultural center could have used a bit more time as well. Honestly driving around and not being stressed by the traffic allows my husband and I time to see where we want to drive the next day.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Aloha, Thank you for your honest review. We'll use this to improve our tour to offer a more complete experience. I'll pass this message also to Shannon.
