Our family had a great introduction to Oahu when we took a private circle island tour with Aloha Sunshine Tours on our first full day in Hawaii. Our excellent guide was Darcy, "the guy with a girl's name," who picked the eight of us up at our hotel on time in a nice vehicle and drove us wherever we wanted to go. He is a native of the Big Island but has been in Oahu many times and really knows his way around. Darcy is a wealth of information and told us about many topics, including geography, history, flora and fauna, legends, sports, and the many sights we were seeing. Darcy has a good sense of humor and has led a very interesting, adventurous life and even shared some of that. At our request to have lunch at one of the many shrimp trucks he recommended Shrimp the Bomb and called ahead so our delicious food was waiting for us when we got there. To show Darcy's going the extra mile (literally), when we went to Waimea Falls he didn't wait in the vehicle as most guides would do but rather he walked all the way to the Falls with us to be sure everything went well. We certainly appreciated not only his willingness to customize our tour but his personal yet professional approach. I don't know if Darcy is a regular guide for Aloha Sunshine Tours, but their representative Ireka was easy to work with and I recommend them, especially if you can get Darcy as your guide.
Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo nui loa for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that Darcy made your private circle island tour such an incredible introduction to Oahu. 🌴✨ It is fantastic to hear that he shared so much great history and local knowledge, took you to a delicious lunch at Shrimp the Bomb, and truly went the extra mile by walking with your family to Waimea Falls. We will be sure to share your kind words with both Darcy and Ireka! *A hui hou* (until we meet again)! 🤙🏾
Darcy was the best tour guide ever! Very knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. Given he is a local, he gave us detailed history on all the questions we asked about this island and the other islands too. Thank you Darcy!
