1000/10 Explorers Tour with Devin
Super cool one of a kind experience! Devin was an amazing driver and tour guide. She was a lot of fun (request her if you can!). All the sights we saw were so beautiful and we were able to grab some guava right off the tree! Highly recommend doing this.
Operator response
Mahalo for your kind review! We are so happy to hear that you had an amazing time with Devin and you were able to enjoy our guavas. Hope to have you visit us again!

Quite Expensive for One Hour
The tour guide did a great job and was very knowledgeable about the island. The issue that we had was not with the guide but that the tour only lasted one hour and costed $512 for 2 adults and 2 children. I don’t know, maybe my expectations were off but it just didn’t seem that this tour was worth $512.
Operator response
Aloha! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the guide. Although many guests enjoy this one-hour tour, we are sorry to hear it didn't meet your expectations.

BEST THING TO DO IN O'AHU
This was one of the best experiences I have ever had traveling with my kids around the world! We planted a tree, and that was such a special experience for just my family and our friends who joined us. A very intimate group.

Amazing Tour with Ocean!
We had an amazing experience with Ocean during our Gunstock Ranch Tour. My boys loved visiting the cave, seeing the lookout and learning about the old sugar plantation that existed before the ranch. The beauty of Northshore Oahu is stunning and seeing the efforts to preserve the land was inspiring!

Tree planting with Trackers Unique Experience
Amazing time tree planting , visiting the cows that tried to catch a ride ..lol.. , exploring an underground cave , exploring 1000 acres lots to see and swing on a tree swing over an amazing view. Great guides ! SUPER Friendly !
It’s located at the opposite side of the island from Waikiki. We didn’t want to drive/rent car So we went on Viator and booked a custom day tour and we scheduled it accordingly. It worked out Great ! 🥰
Operator response
The cows are always trying to steal the show! We’re glad your experience was a fun one! Hope to see you in the future, mahalo!

1 hour UTV tour with amazing scenery
We did the hour UTV tour with our family of 5 (3 boys ages 5, 8, 9) and it was wonderful. Amanda was our tour guide and provided lots of information and history about the ranch. There were a couple surprises on the tour and beautiful scenery including land and animals. We even got to taste some
Fresh picked guava. Highly recommend this tour and Amanda was great.
