Great small group tour of Oahu with a tremendous guide
Great tour of the island, went to and saw many highlight spots on Oahu. Van was comfortable and AC worked well. Group was small 12 total and we were picked up at our hotel right on time. The biggest highlight of the tour was the guide Alaura. A funny and very friendly young lady; Hawaiian born and very knowledgeable of the island and its history. You may want to have water shoes if you plan to swim at the beach. The lunch, although not included was reasonably priced and was very tasty, several different types of shrimp from which to chose. Multiple shopping opportunities amongst the many stops. Many great photo opportunities. Great way to see the island in one all day tour.

Wonderful tour of Oahu with many stops.
Pick up was right on time and right at the hotel where we stayed. The van was comfortable and AC worked well. Small group just myself, wife, and ten others. The highlight of the tour was the guide Alaura a wonderful young lady; Hawaiian born and raised. She was very knowledgeable of the island of Oahu and its history which, she shared while traveling from stop to stop. The tour itself took us to many highlight locations on the island and was very immersive. Lunch although not included, was reasonably priced and was very good. Again the best part was the guide - get Alaura if you can.

Tour Operator not Flexible or Understanding
Disappointed we only were able to ride to pick up additional passengers and then had to abort this trip on 9/1/2026. Other members joined that appeared to be ill and we did not want to risk spending the time in close quarters with them so we got off the tour. By the end of the week we had Influenza A and are still suffering from pneumonia nearly 3 weeks later. Reached out to tour operator and they would not refund any of our money and no offer of any other tour availability options. Disappointing to say the least. Had high hopes for this tour!

We want to clarify what happened on September 1. A passenger briefly coughed because food from breakfast had caught in their throat. We checked on them; they told us they were okay, and the coughing stopped.
Your party told us someone was coughing and that you wanted to get off. You were in the vehicle with that passenger for about two minutes, until the first stop, and then chose to leave and requested a refund. We declined because the tour had started and it goes against our refund policy. We couldn’t move your party to another tour because we were fully booked that week.
The other passengers, including the passenger who coughed, continued on the nine-hour tour. After receiving your review, I contacted those passengers. More than three weeks had passed since the tour, and none reported becoming ill. A brief cough alone does not establish that someone had the flu or that you caught it from our tour. We can’t determine where or when you became ill, but the events of this tour don’t establish that our tour caused it.

Make it your first tour in Oahu
Where to start? When Leonani first showed up for pickup, my wife and I chuckled at how young she was. To be honest we were a bit concerned. SHAME ON US!
This young lady was incredible! While talking about the culture and lore of the island, she drove like a pro, would interrupt her own storytelling to point out various points of interest, and then without missing a beat… would start right back into the storytelling! She was knowledgeable about not just the history and culture but also current events. She never lost her smile, joy, or enthusiasm. Just an incredible guide!
As a reference, the next day we did a tour to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. The guide, with a different company, was our age, 50-60, and mentioned similar things that Leonani had mentioned. The difference was clear. He did not sound confident and the information he gave lacked the lore/ culture we had just experienced. In fact, due to what we had learned the previous day, we helped our group learn even more.
MAHALO to Pineapple Express and especially to Leonani for destroying our preconceived expectations! STRONGLY recommend this tour!!

Must Do!
I have to say this was one of the best tours I've ever done! From the moment we were picked up until we were dropped off, we saw so many places and had a blast with the driver/owner, Tyrone. Tyrone was fun, entertaining and very knowledgeable of the island. The small group also made this tour amazing. Our group was friendly and we enjoyed ourselves as if we were all family. Highly recommend this tour !

Awesome Guide, but mid Tour
The Pros: Our guide Leio was awesome. She was energetic, friendly and fun. Pineapple Express should give her a raise.
The Cons: The tour only passes by the most exciting stops and stops at stores. They want you to buy stuff from stores they have tie ups with. The tour stops at the macadamia nut store for 30 minutes, where there is literally nothing to do. Then we stopped at Dole plantation for only 20 minutes. There was so much to do there, but 20 minute stop is too short to do anything.
Our intent of booking this tour was to see tourist attractions on Ohau that we couldn’t see without a driving license. But the tour guide only kept saying “You should go here, it’s really good” at all the actual exciting places that are on the “pass by” list.

Aloha, and thank you for recognizing Leo. We agree that she brings wonderful abat to every tour.
We’re sorry the itinerary did not meet your expectations, but we would like to clarify several points for future guests. Many of the locations identified as “pass-bys” are listed that way because commercial tour vehicles are not legally permitted to stop and unload passengers at those locations. This is not a choice to favor shopping stops; we must operate within commercial-tour regulations.
Our two coordinated stops are not designed to pressure guests into buying anything. One provides our guests with a dependable, clean restroom early in the tour, while our lunch partnership allows us to call orders in advance so the food is hit and ready when the group arrives. All purchases are completely optional.
We also reviewed the vehicle log for your tour dates for the past 3 months and it shows that the vehicles remained at Dole Plantation for an average of 35/45 minutes. We understand that even 40 minutes may not be enough for someone hoping to experience Dole as a full attraction, but our circle-island tour covers a large portion of Oʻahu in a single day and therefore includes both scheduled stops and clearly identified scenic pass-bys.
We appreciate the feedback and will continue making the itinerary and approximate stop times as clear as possible so guests can choose the experience that best matches what they want to see.
