Conroy picked us up promptly and 8:00am and we had a great 8 hours. We stopped at many sights, visited a cocoa shop, a macadamia nut farm, and totally enjoyed the day. Conroy was knowledgeable, we learned a lot about Hawai’i, and kept us entertained the entire day. We’ve been on 3 islands on this trip and this was the best tour. 6 stars out of 5.
Our family had an amazing experience with Custom Island Tours, and Conroy made the day unforgettable. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating from start to finish. He took the time to customize the tour around what we wanted to see, making it feel like a truly personal experience rather than a standard tour. His knowledge of Oahu, its history, culture, and hidden gems made every stop even more enjoyable. We never felt rushed, and he made sure everyone in our family had a great time. His recommendations and flexibility helped make the most of our day. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. If you’re booking with Custom Island Tours, we highly recommend requesting Conroy as your guide. He went above and beyond to make our family vacation special, and we left with memories that will last a lifetime. Mahalo, Conroy! 🌺
Our full island tour with Conroy was one of the best decisions we made during our stay on Oahu. After spending our first few days in Waikiki, it was great to get out and experience the rest of the island. Waikiki is fun, vibrant, and exciting, but seeing the North Shore and many of the other areas around Oahu gave us a much better appreciation for the island as a whole. Conroy was an outstanding guide. As a true local, he shared not only the history of the island but also personal stories and experiences that made the tour feel much more authentic than simply listening to a scripted presentation. We especially enjoyed visiting some of his favorite spots, including beaches and local stops we never would have found on our own. Not every stop was a home run—the shrimp truck we visited was a little underwhelming—but that was a very small part of an otherwise excellent day. We learned a lot, saw some beautiful parts of the island, and came away feeling like we had experienced the real Oahu rather than just the tourist areas. If you’re visiting Oahu and want to see more than Waikiki, this tour is absolutely worth the time and money. We had a great day and would highly recommend it.
We had a great experience. Our driver Conroy was very informative about the island and great spots to stop and take to gems around Oahu. I recommend this company and especially Conroy as the driver. Well worth it.
This was the most amazing tour any of us have ever done! Sean was so amazing and he took us around all the best spots on the island. Was the best energy and such an amazing guide, told us all the Hawai’i history- truly left with such a great love for the island and excited to try all the spots he recommended to us!!! Would give him 20 stars if I could!!
Amazing service and knowledge from our guide JP ! Car was very clean and had an amazing trip!
This is a MUST-DO tour. Custom Island Tours, LLC A complete 360-degree drive around the coast of Oahu. Stopping at the scenic overlooks, parks, and other interesting places. Just you and the driver. Driver “JP” was born on the island and is very knowledgeable about sites, including famous locations and the homes of famous people. Nice stress-free tour, which one hopes for on vacation, picked up and dropped off at our hotel. I will do it again on my next trip to Oahu. Much better than renting a car and attempting to find all the spots yourself. Knew great food spots. He is a real professional. Thank you, Sir! #hawaii #oahu #vacation
Mr. Shawn Shane at Custom Island Tours was a wonderful private tour guide. He listened to our wishes, was very flexible, gave us some new experiences, was very friendly, easy to deal with, and knew interesting parts of history and customs that was very impressive. Not only did he take us to so many beautiful scenic and historical sites and his stories made our trip much more entertaining! Highly recommended!
JP was our guide and driver. He called me in the morning before the tour to align on pickup location and time. Due to recent storms in Oahu, we had to rearrange sights of interest. JP was very much tuned into road status and suggested various places to visit. He seeked our opinions as well as likes/dislikes to ensure we have a wonderful excursion. We appreciate his flexibility but also vast amount of knowledge on Hawaiian islands and places we visited. We had a wonderful in spite of weather and road closures.
Conroy Low was our guide and did a fantastic job!! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and had a nice sense of humor. I would certainly recommend him! He even had umbrellas and a cooler of ice waters for us!!
