Enjoyable and informative with a side of hilarity
Wendia_H, Dec 2023
Our tour was conducted by All Star tours with DJ Ray Ray and Johnny. We hit all the promised spots, but these personalities made it fun. They were knowledgeable but comedic, and really nice making everyone feel like family. The shrimp lunch at Taka(I think) was so delicious. As I said, the guides were full of personality, so expect the unexpected.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEW! :) We are happy that you liked our circle island tour. Please let us know if you come back to the island and need help with anything!
Super fun tour and tour guide.
Kim_G, Nov 2023
Ethan, our tour guide, was the absolute best and the reason I would recommend this tour to everyone. He was very knowledgeable and also so friendly and accommodating. We got to see so much, and had great food along the way. I learned a lot about Hawaiian history and culture.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Aloha Kim, thank you for the review. I am so glad that enjoyed the tour with Ethan. Feel free to recommend us to your friends if they ever come and visit Hawaii we will take good care of them! Danielshawaii.com
Canceled trip
William_W, Oct 2023
The tour operator canceled the trip due to lack of people signed up. Tried to set up another trip but could get it worked out. Did not have enough time to reschedule as we were flying out next day.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Aloha William, sorry we weren't able to accommodate you. Our records show, we offered a few alternative dates, but unfortunately these dates didn't work for you. The tour description on Viator shows we need at least 4 guests to run the semi-private island tour. However, we understand the disappointment on your end and we are working on a solution. From today on we will offer guests a heavily discounted private tour in case the semi-private tour is under the minimum. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Mahalo and Aloha, DanielsHawaii.com

Disappointing downgraded experience
zheng_z, Apr 2023
We booked this tour for our honeymoon because in the description it says that it is a small group tour with comfort seats for the premium experience. We were told the day before that the tour was “upgraded for additional activities” so we weren’t given any other choices. The result being they actually downgraded us to another tour and outsourced us to All star tour is only $79 per person where we paid about $140 USD per person When we get picked up in the morning the driver did not even have our names and had to call up Daniel to make sure we were part of the tour Disappointing experience and Very poor organisation i can tell they just throw us with all star tour because of the following: -We didn’t get picked up from our hotel and had to walk to a pick up area. -We didn’t get the snorkel equipments like the others had and so we had to buy our own. -There wasn’t water provided on the bus like on the description -For the vehicle it was not the van they had in the picture it was a tour bus (more like a school bus) with 24ppl crowded because we weren’t on the drivers booking list we were sent to the very back. Seats were not comfortable -Communication with operator was poor they had to send us a message to confirm that we are on the All star tour bus and this further proofs that we were outsourced to another tour group At least be honest and communicate with us with our bookings and refund the difference in price or something not ghosting us when we try to reach out
Response from Host, May 2023
Aloha and Mahalo for your review. We apologize if you didn't have a 5 Star Experience. We did not downgrade you. Actually the tour you went on was longer than the tour you booked and we communicated this. Daniels Hawaii Customer is very open with all communication, because we believe this is the best way to communicate. Yes, the group you were on was bigger than 14 passengers. We always communicate this and give our guests the option to go on tour with the bigger group or reschedule and go with a smaller group. Daniels Hawaii Customer Service is always available to answer questions. If you have any questions about your tour, the pickup location or our services, please feel free to get in touch with Daniels Hawaii. Sorry you didn't have a 5 STAR Experience. We hope you had a great vacation in Hawaii. Much ALOHA, DanielsHawaii.com
Enjoyed it
Cali_R, Mar 2023
A nice way to spend the day. Really enjoyed it. Sightseeing, shopping, and lunch. The driver was cool too, very knowledgeable about the island.
All in one tour
Ronda_S, Dec 2022
Very informative tour. We had a good time as Ling as the guide wasn't getting political or national. We wanted to learn about Hawaiian history and culture, but didn't want the extra aggression.
Greatest tour ever
ROGER_B, Dec 2022
We could not of have a better time. Our guide new so much about the island. If anyone i know is coming here I would tell them to take this tour, the small one on one interaction was just incredible
I have to say, for the...
Cara_T, Nov 2022
I have to say, for the price, I found the tour rather boring. I've taken a similar tour of O'hau and visited more exciting places and learned more about the landmarks, at a lower price than the cost of this tour. I didn't find our tour guide to be very knowledgeable. It was a bit disappointing.
Awesome day trip
Patricia_C, Oct 2022
Our guide was wonderful. So knowledgeable, fun and entertaining. The scenery was spectacular and we tasted amazing coffee, macadamia nuts, Huli chicken and fresh fruits. Loved it.
Response from Host, Dec 2022

Oahu Northshore
janarousseausmith, Jun 2022
This was our first day in Hawaii. It was a great way to see the highlights of what the island had to offer. We had a hit if a mix up at the beginning with the time, but we were picked up and able to do the tour. Fumi’s Shrimp Shack was good. But if your not into snorkeling, it was a lot of time to kill on the beach.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Mahalo for your review! We are so glad you had a memorable tour of this magical island! On our small group tours our professional guides share ALOHA and create a truly memorable experience of Oahu. The diverse and tasty treats available around the island are always a highlight and we are glad you enjoyed them along with the enchanting sights. Thank you for being our guests and ALOHA from DanielsHawaii.com!
Terrible pickup coordination
Lingjie_X, Jun 2022
The trip itself was so so. However, the coordination of the pickup is terrible. First of all, this agency can never ever be contacted by phone calls. Only through messages and they didn’t reply messages timely. The day before my trip I messaged them and waited and was told I would be picked up from hotel at 7:50 am to 8:10 am range. Next morning I called the number I was given the day before for the exact pick up time in the morning. I called them around 7:45 am. Then in the call, the guy was very rude and impatient. He told me the van will be there in 2 mins. I asked about car plate and type of the car and he stopped me by saying just get there! If I didn’t call, I don’t know what will happen if I would be able to catch the van. I do not like the trip with this agency.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Aloha and Mahalo for your review. Most importantly we hope you enjoyed the tour around the island - turtles, beaches, local food, surf spots and lots of ALOHA. To be honest, we are not exactly sure what your complaint is. We reviewed the transcript of calls and messages. You called / texted a few times outside office hours, which leads to longer response times. However, the longest response time was 1 hour 57 minutes. Our office is open: 6:30am-4pm with an hour off from 10:30-11:30am 7 days a week You can reach us at +1 (808) 400-4481 Pickup time was between 750am - 810am, you called and texted at 745am to tell us you were ready. We were already on the way over. You booked a semi-private tour with us, meaning we have multiple pickups. We always try to be as efficient as possible. Sometimes we have to wait for guests to get ready, sometimes the traffic is bad. In your case everything was fine and we picked you up in time. We are always happy to learn from our mistakes, but some people we just can’t please. Hopefully you got to relax during your vacation - because that’s what a vacation in Hawaii is all about, isn’t it? We appreciate you coming on tour with us. Much ALOHA, DanielsHawaii.com
Only way to see Oahu.
Anna_M, May 2022
Josh & Anthony were terrific. Every spot and lookout were so special. Having only 6 people was perfect. Best tour on the island!

Island Tour
mmcaunce, Mar 2022
Nice day out, seeing some of the sites of Honolulu. All the places we stopped at just gave us time to take photos, apart from the Dole plantation, where we had a little more time. Lunch at the shrimp 🍤 shack was good.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Mahalo for taking the time to rate your trip with us! Our small group island tours are a fun way to see the island and learn the history behind the island's lovely scenery. The shrimp trucks on the North Shore are the best way to try fresh local raised shrimp right at the source. We are so glad you had a nice experience and hope you have a chance to visit us again.

Cindy_F, Mar 2022
Sierra was great. She took us to do many places that you'd never go to on a big tour group. Go hungry, because you'll want to sample all the local foods.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Aloha Cindy and Mahalo for your review! Our passionate guides show the best spots around this dazzling island while sharing the stories behind the sights. We agree our small group island tours are a great way to get acquainted with the culture, sights, food, and fun to be had all around Oahu! The unique snacks available on Oahu are always a highlight.
