We had an absolutely amazing experience on the Circle Island Tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to Mo. From the very beginning, Mo was friendly, professional, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. She didn’t just show us the island—she brought Hawaii to life with fascinating stories, local history, legends, and wonderful recommendations. Every stop was perfectly explained, and her passion for Oʻahu made the entire day unforgettable. We truly appreciated how organized, engaging, and caring she was throughout the tour. We learned so much while enjoying every single moment. If you’re visiting Oʻahu, this tour with Polynesian Adventure and Mo is an absolute must! Mahalo, Mo, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for making our honeymoon even more special! With gratitude, Gabriele & Serena The Italian couple 🇮🇹❤️🌺
Great experience, Chelsea added fantastic commentary and history throughout the tour! Only issue is the lunch stop could have used an extra half hour. Otherwise lovely time!
I had a wonderful trip today. I enjoyed the ride and the tour guide. She is very knowledgeable, energetic and helpful. I have been on many tours, but this was the best. Every minute was well worth it. Thank you Chelsie for making my tour of Hawaii amazing.
Great Experiance with Chelsie
We had Chelsea as our tour guide, she is very informative and energetic. We learned a lot of Hawaii history from her, it was a good tour experience.
Chelsea - best guide I could've asked for. It ‘s all day and kind-of exhausting. Swimming at the waterfall is the main event. Wish there was a museum visit somewhere but alas.
It is so comfortable and our tour guide, Lee was so knowledgeable about not just Oahu but also all of Hawaii. The whole experience flies by.
Wonderful experiences from Waikiki to Pearl Harbor to learning at the PCC. Our guide was very informative and made sure we were at each destination on time! Thanks Kimoke’o!
Very informative and so glad to learn more about the culture
This was a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and hillarious. It was a wonderful time and it is one of the top trips I've ever been on. A trip of a lifetime!
