Good Tour with admission to Temple

Leow_L, Apr 2024

Responsible company, checked and reminded me of the meeting venue and time. Went to many places and took many pictures. The guide, Mr Martin is responsible and passionate about his sharing of knowledge.

Our tour guide was...

Would not recommend

Jennifer_S, Mar 2024

Good way to see the whole island in a day, but not relaxing or enjoyable. Driver really rushed us along, publicly chastised 2 different families when they arrived back at the bus late after rushing through to enjoy the stop and we still finished the day 30min or more earlier than expected. Additionally, we were a party of 5 that were picked up last which means the longest part of the entire day, on the bus, we were separated. It also meant that 2 people in our party were stuck sitting directly behind the driver (a wall) and could hardly see any of the sights during the drive.

Enjoyable, with a small small group on a small bus, driven by a master of Hawaiian history and culture.

David_P, Feb 2024

This tour is an absolute must for anybody that wants to learn from a seasoned local Hawaiian, who is not only a great storyteller and historian of Hawaii, but a very, very sympathetic listener and group leader. Period.

Chad_L, Dec 2023

The temple was a perfect ending to the multiple sites. Our host was well versed in all of the locations and provided a nice commentary for the culture.

Great

Kathryn_K, Dec 2023

Great day with wonderful information from Eugene. Enjoyed looking for turtles. Loved the beach stops. Lunch was geat

Not satisfied with tour

Susan_I, Dec 2023

I was a bit disappointed with the tour. Our first stop was supposed to be a Diamondhead but we missed it completely. The stops felt rushed and our tour guide just kept talking about how was missing out on a day of surfing since the waves were nice. He would point out things to see but we drove by so quickly that I missed most of them. I felt it was too pricey for what I got.

Just okay

Terry_W, Oct 2023

The tour guide was good but stops were too quick. More time on bus than anything. Thought we were stopping at waterfall. We did not

Good tour

JenH, Oct 2023

The tour was good. Eugene was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained on the drive around the island. The dole whip was well worth it. This tour gave you a good overview of the island so well worth it.

Great day!

Joseph_P, Oct 2023

Our guide Noah was very knowledgeable about the island, history and legends. Great day! Should recommend this tour for anyone visiting the island.

Really enjoyed this tour...lots of short stops & photo ops

Diana_G, Sep 2023

We really enjoyed the tour, very informative and not duplications of another tour we took...covered the East side of the island & North Shore. Eddy was an excellent tour guide giving a lot of interesting facts & was very personable and encouraged sharing & interaction between all the passengers. It was a great experience!

Great introduction to Ohau

Lorna_R, Sep 2023

Noah was an excellent fun guide. Loved seeing everything around the island. Lunch at Yumi's was great.

Great experience

Mathew_C, Aug 2023

The shrimp garlic lunch at Fumi’s and the fruit stand where I bought fruits that we have in the Philippines. Our tour guide Carlos kept us entertained with the histories about Hawaii and its people.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We're delighted you enjoyed the shrimp garlic lunch at Fumi's and found familiar fruits at the stand. It sounds like Carlos provided an entertaining and informative tour. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to see you again for more adventures!

Just knowing the history of the island. Learning the find and how different thing is started. I really enjoyed the last who was our tour guide.

He is the funniest tour...

A great island experience!

Reanne_W, May 2023

We had an amazing time on the trip!! I picked this tour specifically because you got to see some stops that are popular as well as some lesser known places that you wouldn’t normally travel to by yourself on the island. Eddie was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable of the islands history and spots where we would get some amazing views! The Halona Blowhole was the highlight for me, it was absolutely beautiful!! We even got to do an extra scenic stop that wasn’t planned along the way, would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming first time or even if you’ve been here before!! Also get to stop and see turtles on one of the stops so if you don’t plan on snorkeling to go see them this is a great alternative! Thanks Eddie and John!!

Charlie was an amazing local surfing guide who gave us a lot of inside information about the island.

Teresa_A, Apr 2023

The temple was my highlight to a very informative tour of the island. Charlie, our guide, a religious surfer, had all the scoop on the hotspots of the island. My favorite spot was the temple…so soothing and serene! I did not know this place existed! Aloha!

Great day on the Island

Alicia_C, Mar 2023

Our tour guide and driver John were the best. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the island and historical facts of the island. He also had an amazing personality. He timed everything perfectly so we wouldn’t have to wait Lind at any stop to purchase items or use the bathroom. We did a lot of things in one day and seen or were told about most of the major areas on the island.. I would recommend this excursion for anyone visiting the island for the first time.
