Description

See all O`ahu has to offer and enjoy a ride around the Ko`olau Mountain Range.  Visit the South or North Shore on a Mini Circle Island Tour, or see them both in one.  Guests can enjoy the water, beautiful hidden beaches, great shopping, outstanding restaurants, and much more.  This island offers incredible variety and beautiful scenery, and you have to see it all! Any guests wanting to see both the North and South Shores must book at least a Full-Day Tour. While guests can enjoy a North Shore Express Mini-Circle Island on a Half-Day Tour, we typically recommend at least a Full Day. On the other hand, the South Shore Mini-Circle Island Tour is perfect for those wanting to get out of the city for a Half-Day Tour.

First Time in Hawaii

This was the first time my husband and I had been to to Oahu and were excited to see much of the island. We booked a peivate Oahu circle tour with Michael and had a great time. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and provided a lot of flexibility based on out personal interests and preferences. This day trip was definitely a highlight of our trip and would absolutely recommend to others.

Operator response

It was such a pleasure showing you folks around, and itʻs so great to hear you enjoyed yourselves as well. Thank you for sharing a bit of your first Hawai'i vacation and for sharing such a kind review of Hali'a Private Tours.

Michael did an exceptional job on doing a circle tour of the island. He above and beyond to make certain we had a wonderful time. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he also had a sense of humor while driving us around and showing us the various locations. It was the best tour of our vacation. If we ever came back to the island again, I would want to do another tour with him.

Operator response

Thank you for such a kind review of Hali'a Private Tours. It was such a pleasure showing your crew around. Itʻs so good to hear you enjoyed the bad jokes and an honor to be the best tour of an awesome vacation. Definitely looking forward to seeing you again.

Best tourist day ever

Michael was awesome! Felt like an old friend showed us around the island all day. He knew the proper times and ins and outs of every stop- including where every bathroom was and island history. He made sure we were always comfortable and doing what we wanted to. We saw a sea turtle, the Dole plantation, pearl harbor, Manoa Falls, and Waikiki. Best poke bowls for lunch. The bus was clean and perfectly air conditioned.

Best private tour of Oahu, Hawaii

I have had a number of guide tours during my travels & cruises including a previous one to Hawaii however this one was the best ! What made this one especially great was the fact that our tour guide, Mike was an excellent historian of Oahu . He offered fantastic insite about all the areas we stopped at. We had more than enough time at each location we stopped at to explore the surroundings- never rushed ! We would definately recommed MIke for any tours i Oahu, Hawaii !!!

Fun tour

Fantastic tour. Michael was extremely knowledgeable, about the island. Great scenic spots he took us all to and food spots as well. Very respectful and had a lot of patience and a little sarcasm, which I enjoy, for us group of ladies. He had no problem making a couple extra pit stops and was always giving great suggestions on where to go, shop, eat. Overall would definitely do a tour with him again. Highly recommend

Excellent way to spend a day!

Michael took our family of 8 around the island for the day. He was very informative and accommodating, and flexible so that we could stop for an island treat of shaved ice and DoleWhip along the way. Our kids voted this as their favourite day of our holiday - they learned a lot about the island and were glad to see so much more than just Waikiki. I highly recommend a tour with Michael.

Halia Tours - Michael - great trip and lots of fun

Our group of 7 ladies chose the tour with Michael, as we had toured the North Shore with him previously and it was great. Michael is accomodating and easy-going and has a great knowledge of the island , it's history and inhabitants. He will alter a tour to suit any group and stop wherever you want, as well as having great suggestions for places to go and points of interest. His van is roomy and comfortable and we had a great half-day tour chatting to him, asking questions and learning more about Hawaii. He even provided umbrellas for our slightly wet walk to Manoa Falls. A fantastic tour guide and highly recommended by our whole group.

Michael is AWESOME - Excellent Day!

Can't pick a favorite - the entire day was excellent! Didn't want the day to end. From pick up to drop off, every moment was packed with fun. Michael was so knowledgeable, friendly and showed us exactly what the "spirit of Aloha" means. Considerate, pleasant, funny, just a joy to spend the day with while enjoying the beauty of Oahu. From coffee (thank you Michael - the coffee was delicious!); to Dole whip, shopping for very specific items (and he knew where to find them), Pearl Harbor, flea market, to the stunningly beautiful Waimea Botanical Garden and Waterfall, to dinner recommendations - Michael packed our day. His knowledge of the islands, the culture, the history, the local landmarks, the flora and fauna - all without sounding like a lecture, made our day so well rounded. Even the corny jokes were welcomed! My daughter (young twenties) and I felt that we were travelling with a friend, not a guide. He knew all the spots, was ready and willing to accommodate us, gentlemanly without being fussy - just perfect. I can't speak highly enough of Michael and our experience. I seriously cannot think of one negative thing to say - not one. Well ok - one negative thing - the day had to end and we had to say Aloha!

Operator response

The end of the day was definitely the least fun part! It was such a pleasure showing you and your daughter around and you both were so much fun to hang out with. Thank you for taking the time to share such kind words and especially for sharing the last day of your vacation. You ladies are awesome!
