I went on the 10 hour Hawai’i circle island tour and it was my favorite tour during my visit! We were driven around by Uncle Wong and Jeremy was our tour guide. It was from 7 am to 5 pm and we were able to comfortably ride the bus throughout the island. We did not have to worry about parking or driving. We were able to intake the beautiful scenery as we passed by and take a nap on the drive back. Jeremy had such a great personality, passion and knowledgeable about the island! He was also organized and prepared! He texted the morning of to remind us of our tour and he also texted photos of what he was talking about during the tour. He also sent recommendations for food, activities and excursions. He also went through the lunch menu and took our orders in advance on the bus so that it would be ready for when we arrived at Tanaka Kahuku Shrimp (btw it is true what he says, best and freshest shrimp on the island!) I enjoyed the drive, the temple, and every place that we visited. Without this experience I would not have had the chance to try the variety of food and see unique parts of the island. It was a little cloudy and rainy but that didn’t stop the fun. We were able to snorkel and we saw so many turtles and fish! Heads up the rocks are pretty sharp so I recommend bringing reef shoes*** (as well as extra clothing, towels and cash! It’s cash only for the food stops)*** And all the stops had clean restrooms so that was much appreciated! I definitely recommend this tour! Thanks again Jeremy and Uncle Wong for the amazing experience! mahalo!

Wonderful day in Oahu

Dorinda_P, Apr 2024

Jeremy was a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of information. It was great to see parts of the island that we never would have seen on our own.

Honolulu Circle Island Tour

Linda_K, Apr 2024

Enjoyed the tour. We saw a lot in an 8 hours. Tour guide, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable, funny, and personable. They offered bottled water and small bags of chips during the tour. We stopped at a shrimp stand for lunch which was delicious. The guide took our order from 8 choices, and called it in so it would be ready when we got there, each choice was $18 (not including beverage) however when we arrived there were 9 other tour busses there, so we still stood in line 30 min to get our order. Bathroom lines at each stop were 30-40 min for the ladies. Overall it was a great value for the price.

Best Island tour

Lori_L, Apr 2024

The entire tour was such a wonderful experience. Not only did we get to see so many wonderful parts of the island our tour guide Jeremy was so full of information about the island. We also had a wonderful bus driver Victor. They were both so friendly and you could tell they love their job and they are so proud of their culture and really enjoyed sharing it with all of us on the tour.

Dylan was wonderful and...

Joann_T, Apr 2024

Dylan was wonderful and driver , there was a man and a young lady in seat in front of our seat to side, very sexually inappropriate, Dylan did stand by their seat several times , very disrespectful as a 70 year old working Registerd Nursre

Kelly_B, Apr 2024

Loved lunch at tanekas , Jack was a great tour guide, entertaining and informative. Noel maneuvered the bus wonderfully! Enjoyed the beach but it wasn’t great for snorkeling.

The Best Aloha and Welcoming Tour of the Island!

Tony_H, Apr 2024

What can I say? We were greeted warmly and treated quite well on this tour. Jeremy and Uncle Arthur gave us insights, stories, and so much information! We saw so much! It was quite well-organized. We saw turtles at the snorkeling beach, we were given instructions so we didn't harm the ecosystem. Tons of photo- ops, outside enjoyment, snacks, lunch, etc. Highly recommended!

Excellent

Vito_M, Apr 2024

This is a must do tour of O’ahu as it takes you to many locations and sights. You get to see the magnificent scenery, beaches and attractions. Our tour guide Kathleen and driver Keith were wonderful. Highlights included stopping for shrimp at lunchtime, the Byodi-In temple and stopping at the various look out points. Highly recommended.

Best Tour Ever

Kristal_A, Apr 2024

This was the perfect tour. Really enjoyed Jeremy and Victor. The best tour ever. You get to see all of the island and all the important landmarks.

Hawaii trip

Stephen_M, Apr 2024

New sights were fantastic. Island facts were good. Lunch was delicious. Too much personal stuff by guides and driver as fillers.

Totally worth it!!!

Dawn_m, Apr 2024

Was totally worth it! The itinerary was perfect...a little of everything! Tour guide was informative and his s humour was enjoyable! And, we actually saw turtles dutring the snorkeling stop!(I was concerned we wouldn't, since nature can be unpredictable)

Uncle D is amazing. Much OHANA

JACKIE_L, Apr 2024

Uncle D is great. Made us feel like family. OHANA. I would recommend him 100%. However driver busted the window in the van. We sat at the waiting point 20 minutes before we were notified. Then waited 1.5 hours to leave. Very disappointed. Cut trip way short.

Rob and jake great tour guides

Vanessa_M, Apr 2024

Wonderful tour. Saw lots and learned so much geography, culture,language, history, and just fun trivia. Tour guide jake and bus driver rob are the best we have experienced. Treated us like family and made the day awesome.

Strongly recommend this tour

Carol_L, Apr 2024

Driver Rob & tour guide Jake are amazing. They shared so much local traditions & stores with us and kept us entertained & engaged all the way around Oahu island. They also took good care of every tourist including the elderly grandpas & grandmas as well as the 1 year old baby. 16 tourist highlighted spots. Swimming with green turtles was the highlight of the day. Fabulous experience.

Circle around the oahu

Maryjean_M, Apr 2024

Aka and Keith were wonderful, it was a great tour and both very helpful, friendly, kind, we’d love to go tour with them again! Thank you both for all the informative from start to end tour especially you AKA, your are very intelligent, keep up the good work, I salute you, you send above and beyond!

I have had many of these...

Joshua_B, Apr 2024

I have had many of these excursions in various cities and it’s typically an enjoyable, entertaining experience. But this tour was truly a spiritual experience. Our tour guide, Aka, one of the remaining 730 pure blood Hawaiians on earth, took us on a journey of the culture and heritage of Hawaii. His authenticity made our experience one we will never forgot. Mahalo, Aka.

Beautiful day with many great stops

David_P, Apr 2024

We really enjoyed the scenery of going out of the city. Shrimp lunch was great and the time swimming with the turtles

great value

Isabella_C, Apr 2024

so much fun! bring cash for the stops along the way. would reccomend to anyone looking to see the whole island on an affordable yet amazing expereince.

Great price for a day trip

Angela_M, Apr 2024

Aka was a phenomenal tour guide. He is wise and considerate. I expected more from the locations we visited but its a good deal for the price. Snorkeling was disappointing. The beach we went to was rocky and lots of floating moss. We started with the Halona Blowhole, so we skipped the Diamond Head Monument. Lunch isn't mentioned in the itinerary, but it is the popular Tanaka Shrimp Farm.

Best tour

Lisa_K, Apr 2024
