First time in Hawaii and my first tour of the vacation. This tour was a blast and am thrilled to have learned so much of the island and its unique history. Leena was an amazing tour guide. Made it welcoming and fun! The tour provided us with water and snorkeling gear which was a huge bonus. Overall it was a pleasant experience and Leena made it feel like one big ohana!!!

Amazing tour and Driver!

Aloha Sunshine is a wonderful tour company. They were easy to work with while setting up our all-day tour on Oahu. Our driver, Brian was absolutely amazing! He showed us a few local spots, several tourist areas, and beautiful beaches. We took beautiful pictures and saw so much of the island! Brian customized the tour to our interests and was a wonderful tour guide! We were picked up right from our cruise ship and dropped off at the airport. We could not recommend this tour more!

Operator response

Brian will be thrilled to know he made your day special — he truly loves sharing the island’s beauty and hidden gems. It was our pleasure to take care of your transportation from the cruise ship to the airport and make your visit smooth and memorable.
