ワイキキ発オアフ島グランド サークル島体験

An engaging and very worthwhile trip to see main highlights of the island of Oahu. Plenty of breaks and suberb food stops. Snorkeling experience with turtles cherry on the cake. Johnny the guide is very professional and knowledgeable - looked after us all very well and made it a great day, keeping us all entertained. This is a good trip to take at start of holiday to familiarise you to the island especially if you're going to hire a car.

Such a delightful experience! Cousin Darcy was our guide and I love that he was born and raised in Hawaii so he shared a wealth of knowledge and experience that can’t be easily replicated. Our tour was on a smaller transportation so it felt personal and relaxed despite visiting tons of locations. My 12yo was hesitant about the tour at first (it was an early pick up and all day experience) but by the end she said she thoroughly loved it. Great value for the money, especially if you’re doing your tour with Cousin Darcy!

The tour was interesting with many stops. The driver was knowledgeable and friendly. The bus was a little old and the air conditioner was not working. It was very hot in the van! The microphone was not working correctly the whole time which made it hard to hear her. The lunch was not that great. It would have been nice to stop at the food trucks that were nearby.

Our guide, Darcy Souza, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. He welcomed us like family and shared so much about the island. He truly went above and beyond—taking us to try malasadas and more—and made sure we had an amazing day. Darcy, if you’re reading this, thank you! I hope to see you again 💛

A/C did not work full strength. Beach stop was disappointing! We must’ve passed 2-3 nice bleaches and stopped at a rocky beach and were told to ignore the unhoused people (there were several encampments). Little to no sand area.

As we reflected on our family vacation and shared our favorite experience from our week on the island, one thing was unanimous: the Grand Circle Island Tour was, by far, the highlight of our trip. It wasn’t just because of the beautiful places we visited—although they were incredible. It was because of our tour guide, Darcy. On Monday, our first full day on the island, we were greeted by Darcy. He told us he’d had a last-minute schedule change and had only been assigned our tour the day before. Looking back, that last-minute change was an absolute blessing. I was especially nervous because our son has special needs and uses a wheelchair. Before the tour, I had been told his wheelchair would need to be broken down and stored in the back of the van at every stop. With each stop lasting only 15–20 minutes, I worried we’d spend most of our time assembling and disassembling his chair instead of enjoying the experience. As I wheeled his chair to the back, Darcy smiled and said he had rearranged everything to make room so the wheelchair could stay fully assembled. It may seem like a small gesture, but to our family, it meant everything. It allowed our son to fully experience every stop without added stress, and it showed us from the very beginning what kind of person Darcy is. Throughout the day, Darcy’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling brought the island to life. Even more impressive, he managed to keep our 15-year-old and 11-year-old off their phones and completely engaged—a feat in itself these days! He took the time to get to know each member of our party of seven, making everyone feel welcome. He was patient, kind, funny, and incredibly accommodating to our son. By the end of the tour, he didn’t feel like a guide anymore—he felt like family. We now call him “Cousin Darcy.” If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate—and if you have the opportunity, absolutely request Darcy. He transformed what could have been just another sightseeing excursion into one of our family’s most cherished vacation memories. We arrived with a little trepidation and left with unforgettable memories… and a new honorary family member. If you get Darcy, tell him the Sauceda’s said ALOHA! 😊

It was very nice and a great vacation. Very friendly driver very kind and person its my 2nd tome with rhis company abd is great

Overall I’m glad I got to experience another part of the island. However, I would not recommend this tour company to provide that experience. It seems that we knowingly were transported on a bus without a functioning air conditioner. The bus was extremely warm. The driver pulled off the road a least 20 times to turn the bus off and back on again to try and fix it. We made stops not listed on the itinerary (souvenir shops that seemed unnecessary). Our driver made us choose between beach time and the Dole Plantation because she did not have enough time to take us to both. Therefore, we were not able to experience Dole Plantation even though it was a highlighted stop of the tour. We were not able to snorkel because our beach time was at a beach not listed on the itinerary. The one highlight of the tour was being able to spot turtles at the beach.

The experience was great. Lots of stops with plenty of views and photo opportunities. The air conditioning in the bus wasn't working and the afternoon sun in the bus was hot and miserable.

Old bus without air conditioner on a hot day. We were driven around from place to place with minimal information, unorganized & didn’t meet expectations for a tour guided experience.
