Our tour is fully narrated by a local guide and driver. You will learn about the history, culture, and folklores of each location as we traverse around the island. You'll experience first hand the scenic beauty of Oahu from its volcanos, white sandy beaches, and lush mountain ranges to the local farms and plantations.
You'll have the option to swim, sunbath, and even snorkel with wild green sea turtles at our secret turtle beach spot. We'll take you to the best local shrimp stands for lunch, stop by a fruit stand for ice cold coconuts, and let you sample different macadamia nut flavors while enjoying Kona coffee.

The tour group was broken...

5.00The tour group was broken up by if u wanted to swim..and those that didn't. Our group was 25 of all ages. Our guide Johnny was awesome. Funny personable and made us each feel cared about. We had 21 stops including swimming/snorkeling with turtles. This was one of the best if not the best tour of my vacation.
ok

5.00This was given 5 stars because of the driver and overall circle of the island was good. The meeting point was chaotic and way too many people in a small space. The turtle beach experience was rough with no seating and lots of homeless encampment you will walk past. They did not bother you , but the urine smell was terrible. Our driver was so friendly and informative. He made the experience much better. If it was not for him, we would have rated this 2 stars.
Guy was a great guide....

4.00Guy was a great guide. Lots of fun info. He did an amazing job navigating some difficult passengers (leaving items behind at stops and rudely talking over him). Was great to see and stop at many places throughout island. Guy also gave recommendations of places to visit or eat.

3.00We booked one tour, but when we arrived we were loaded on another. The stops were nice. You get to see a lot of the island in a short amount of time. However, the buses are not comfortable. They pack you in like sardines, I'm assuming to avoid sending more buses, not to mention, you feel every bump, and the air conditioner does not work well. The spots that we stopped at, aside from the main ones, were strange. A shopping center to use the bathroom, with nothing really to see. Lunch was okay, not amazing. If you can deal with the cons, the pros were great.
It was a super fun...

4.00It was a super fun experience. It was hard to follow along all the places we went to but it was awesome to see everything and learn about the culture. The water with the turtles was extremely murky but we got extremely close and saw multiple turtles.
Wonderful tour of the island

5.00It was a fun day and we were able to hit a lot of different places in one day and tour around the whole island. Our tour guide cousin Matt was great. It was great to have his local Hawaiian insight. He’s funny but also able to share a lot of insight and history about the island. Plenty of stops for pictures and shopping and sight seeing. Great tour. I would recommend it to anyone. Our whole family of 6 (kids as young as 8) all enjoyed it.

Honest review

3.00I was really looking forward to this tour, but from the start it was very unorganized. We spent the first hour just for all the tour operators trying to figure out who should be in which car and doing all the different pickups. Then you start the tour and you get excited. But half of it is just pulling to the side of the road. Go take a picture, buy the beach for ten minutes and come back if I had known this.I would not have booked this tour. One of the major reasons people book this tour is for the doll Plantation and the turtle beach. But it was kind of confusing because we were offered to go shopping so a lot of people didn't go to the beach and the Dole Plantation we arrived just shortly before they closed so there wasn't much time to do anything. If you want to go see the beach or the plantation, I'd recommend renting a car and just going straight there.
Deceitful tour

1.00I only took the all day tour for my daughter to swim with the turtles, and the turtle beach staff stated turtles are rarely at the beach due to the activity of the tourist.
