Great way to see the other side of the island.
Reviewed by: Piper, 2023/10/28It was a good tour and great driver. I wish we would have stopped at more of the scenic spots and skipped some of the roadside gift shops. One was enough. I would skip the Dole Plantation altogether.

Majestic Circle Island Tour with Ika “Squid”
Reviewed by: Richard C, 2023/03/07Totally enjoyed our tour with Squid. He was so informative, giving us great information about each place we visited (as well as places we passed along the way). Loved the high energy music he played on the bus, which energized the group. Loved the shrimp lunch, which was included. Kudos to Squid. I highly recommend this tour to others. You will not be disappointed.

Majestic oahu cicle island tour
Reviewed by: Vangie T, 2022/10/26The tour was great. Our tour guy Big Tony made it exceptionally great. He was fun and very informative. He made us feel welcomed and was very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the island. He made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to even take pictures for us. I would definitely recommend this tour and hopefully you get Big Tony.

Juicy Circle Island Tour
Reviewed by: TomAzz, 2022/10/08Well, we didn't start off on time due to an unavoidable traffic issue. Once Juicy showed up the trip began and he kept us rolling in the aisles with funny stories and excellent information about the sights. Did I mention that Juicy made up for arriving late? Each stop was awesome and he went out of his way to make it just that much more special. The lunch was some yet delicious. I feel bad because I actually forgot his real name. The only name we got familiar with was Juicy. What a sweet and funny man. I really connected with him. Glad we took this tour.

We had a blast despite Mother Nature not playing ball
Reviewed by: Pete and Shelley , 2022/08/25Vicky our tour guide was awesome, knowledgable and managed to ensure we had an amazing time visiting different areas and also rearranging stops if other activities were unavailable due to weather . Coming from England meant I have to put faith in other peoples reviews of the circle island tours and 100% no regrets. Loves every minute

Kimo was the best tour guide!
Reviewed by: Nicole & Thomas, 2022/06/09We hit the jackpot! Kimo was an excellent tour guide and was full of history and information. When we got to the different spots, he walked with us, telling us more. We saw other E Noa drivers sitting by their buses waiting for the people to come back. Kimo made the trip so much fun! Don’t be last on the bus or he’ll make you do a short hula while he plays his ukulele!
Not sure if you can request, but If you get Kimo, you’re going to get waaay more than your moneys worth!
Oh! And the local lunch spot was DELICIOUS! We wanted to get another and take it back to the hotel!
Our drivers truly are what make our tours so unforgettable! We are so glad to hear Kimo provided such a fun experience. Mahalo for the 5 stars! Next time you're in Hawaii we hope to see you again!

Great Tour
Reviewed by: Diners Choice Group, 2022/04/30We were a big group - like 27 of us - and most were visiting Hawaii for the first time. This was the first activity we did and I’m glad we did because we learned a lot about the island. Kim our driver and tourist guide was great! It also helped that we had the whole bus to ourselves.
Bring swimsuit to go have a dip at the Waimea Falls. If you don’t, you will have to shell out a lot of money to buy some at the spot!
The fee for the tour Is well worth it! Strongly recommend this.
We love giving tours to big groups! It makes it such a special experience. Great tip about the swimsuits! It really makes a difference to be able to jump in and experience everything our tours have to offer! We hope to see ALL of you again!

Great tour with a really fun tour guide
Reviewed by: Anna & Michael, 2022/04/05We had so much fun on this tour. Our guide, Juice, was very funny but also full of information about the islands. He taught us all the Hawaiian language and gave us so much history of the natives and the island. If you go on this tour, request him as your tour guide!!
We at E Noa pride ourselves on sharing the Hawaiian language and culture with all of our guests. Thank you for such a wonderful review and the 5 star rating. We hope you choose E Noa again next time you're in Hawai'i!

Great way to see the island + waterfall
Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii, 2022/01/17The tour was in a mini-bus rather than the larger motorcoach buses. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I really liked the stop at Waimea Valley the best. It was nice to get out and go on a nature walk. The entire route is fully paved. If you want to swim, there's time to swim too. Lunch was at Fumi's and I'd recommend their garlic shrimp (yum!). Overall, the day was a full day so make sure you get plenty of rest the night before and wear comfortable shoes.

Circle tour with Waimea Falls
Reviewed by: Dianne Cotts, 2021/11/14Our driver, Chelsie, was fabulous! I am giving this tour 4 stars because she deserves the stars! Very interesting and informative tour of the Island. As for the transportation…you definitely need to invest & updated the buses with better air conditioning. It was fully packed, not one spare seat on the bus…and the air conditioning was inadequate to keep the bus at a comfortable temperature.
Aloha Dianne,
Thank you for your honest review and for bringing the air-conditioning to our attention. We will be sure to have our maintenance crew check it out. We appreciate the time you have taken and are grateful that you joined us. We hope your visit to Oahu, the Gathering Place, was an enjoyable one.
Mahalo and stay well!

Reviewed by: Regina, 2021/08/04We enjoy this tour each time we take it. We brought our mom and wanted her to experience the sites of the island.

Don’t spend your money on this excursion!
Reviewed by: Holly Westog, 2021/06/24It started out with the driver arriving more than an hour late. He had to use the bathroom upon arrival which delayed us by another 15 mins. We had to rush through everything g. There was no swimming at the waterfall. We walked up to it turned around and walked back. Got to Dole in time for whip to jump back in the van to air in traffic for 1.5+ hours. There was no air conditioning and the speakers didn’t work. We were HOT with no tour/history lesson. HORRIBLE!!
Dear Holly,
Your complaint is very concerning to us. We understand your disappointment and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. It’s important to us that our guests are more than satisfied and we wanted to let you know that although this reply is late, we did go ahead and resolve the air conditioning and speaker issue immediately.
We spoke to the driver and he was provided with the necessary corrective steps to ensure this will not happen again.
Thank you for your honest feedback as we were very grateful that you joined us. We hope we have a future opportunity to show you our improvements. Until then, please stay well.
Mahalo!

Hawaii Bound travel team
Reviewed by: Jill, 2018/03/11We had such a good time. There was 7 of us in our group. Some of us had been to Oahu before and some had not. We wanted to take a smaller, more personal tour. So we could all be TOGETHER and learn some of the history of the islands while seeing all the sights.
Our driver was insightful, and fun. He answered all of our inquiries with so much knowledge.
Everyone of us enjoyed the whole tour. It was nice to be able to talk, visit, take pictures and not have to worry about driving and finding the way ourselves.
We didn't feel rushed... got to see everything at each stop.
Mahalo for a wonderful day...
Aloha Jill,
Thank you for choosing E Noa Tours! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time with us and we hope to see you again soon!
