Great way to learn about Oahu’s history, activities to do such as hiking, beach spots and great sure. Tyler was a great tour guide.
Amazing sites, perfect way to see the island in one day. Beautiful island and amazing hospitality. Highly recommend
They changed the itinerary before the trip without telling anyone or telling me when I bought the tickets... I specifically told them that I wanted to go to the two locations, and they told me they would be going to them. The driver told me that the person who sold me the tickets knew that they would not be going to those locations... BEWARE!
The ride was comfortable……..
Unfortunately, we were disappointed just hurried to drive past the best of Oahu.Of 2 included admission prices we did not see anything.Also one included water bottle per person we did not get.Instead we were unloaded at tourist sales traps. The launch was not taken in the restaurant, but at a snack bar in a plastic Elnweg box at very overpriced prices. The tour guide was informative, but vehemently pointed out her tip. Even a percentage calculation was not spared. We would not recommend this trip.
Had a lovely tour with Heather. Very informative , helpful and overall a positive experience.she went out of her way to make sure everyone was comfortable
This was a great tour. we loved seeing and hearing so much about the island. Our tour guide was amazing. She was friendly and welcoming and shared so much about her love for the island and all it offers. I would defiantly recommend this tour!
The bus was way too crowded with 14 people. There were four of us in the back, it was way too tight and the body for wheels meant the legs had no room either. A bus ride for 2.5€ by public transport would have been much better. Because we didn't have a guide but only a bus driver who didn't explain anything and just abandoned us at the stops! This was the worst trip we have made on holiday so far! For over $100 you can expect more than a bad bus ride across the island.
Such an amazing full island tour!! The Best part was our amazing tour guide, Captain Vince, who went over and above with his knowledge of the history of Hawaii, teaching us the language, & his humor, & making us feel like family!! He even took pics with ours & his own phone, that he shared with us. He Absolutely MADE this tour enjoyable & worth every minute!! You won't regret taking this tour & if you get Captain Vince you will have an Epic experience! Mahalo Nui Loa.
We had Christine as our guide and driver for the day. She was wonderful, informative and friendly. We enjoyed our tour.
