JP was a fantastic guide....

JP was a fantastic guide. Kind, knowledgeable and easy going. We had to check out of our hotel at 10 am and our flight was at 8:00pm. He made sure to fill our day with so many stops and beautiful look-outs.

We had a short time in Oahu. Conroy took us around the island showing us all the highlights. He was very knowledgeable and shared so much history. Highly recommend!

Tour of Oahu before flight back home

We booked the pier pickup and airport drop off tour to see sights on Oahu before flight back home. JP was our tour driver. He explained sites along the round. We made several stops including Dole Plantation, Macadamia Nut shop, turtles swimming in water, Blowhole, Here to Eternity beach, butter shrimp stand and more other sites. We did not have a full 8 hrs but JP made sure we saw as much of Oahu as we could.

Operator response

Awesome! JP has been working with us for over 3 years. He was born and raised in Hawaii and is a surfer so he can keep you safe at our beaches when they are dangerous.

Punctual

Punctual and educational. JP was helpful as one of us wasn’t feeling well. Very convenient pickup from cruise and dropoff to airport in time. We missed the turtles though

David was wonderful. We had lots of time between cruise and flight home. He let us decide what we wanted to see for our last day. It was awesome!

Viator Private Tours are the only way to go!

Booked this private tour through Viator and couldn't have been happier. It was an 8-hour cruise ship pickup with airport drop-off which gave us all day to tour Oahu. Although our driver was a few minutes late (due to traffic), he texted and called to let us know and keep us informed of his expected arrival time. During our tour he took us basically on the Grand Circle Tour. Our first stop was Pearl Harbor and a tour of the USS Arizona (be sure and get your tickets beforehand). We then stopped at a coffee farm, the Dole Plantation, Island X Hawaii (chocolate maker and gift shop - not to be missed) and a food truck (Surf N Salsa) for lunch. It was all amazing and our tour guide, Dave, was awesome and very knowledgable about the island. He was very accommodating to our schedule and things we wanted to do. Finally a shout out to Viator - another couple in our group had reserved a tour on our cruise and the port was cancelled the morning of. Viator refunded their money (without them having to do anything). Sometimes I am hesitant to book with Viator because I never know if a port will be cancelled last minute and I will be out all of my money because I didn't cancel 24-hours in advance. This alone is reason for me to consider booking all of my cruise tours with Viator. I hope this is something you normally do for cancelled ports and not just a one-off.

Great customized tour

JP provided a highly customized tour and was extremely knowledgeable. We had seen some sites on our own and it was nice to hear the history behind them.

Lei showed her home to us with respect and love. It showed through her presentation.

We were driven around by Lei, who was so very knowledgeable about the trees, plants, birds, history and general information. The Temple in the north of the island, beautiful views of the coastline, tour of Honolulu itself, and the Diamond Head region all helped get a better understanding of Hawaii overall. But I have to say the Lei was a good portion of the charm.
