Aloha Island Expedition - Small Group Jeep Tour with Local Guide
Overall Rating
4.56
Informative tour of the island
Reviewed by: Steven , 2019/08/01We wanted to see other parts of the island without having to rent a car ourselves and this was a good option. Our guide who has done surfing knew of the various beaches and pointed out the various ones. We stopped and had time at various stops including the Dole plantation and the Banyan trees from Lost. It seemed we covered things to see in a one day car trip around the island. The Jeep was comfortable though could have been any car—no four wheel driving for instance. We were able to see what there was to see to help decide where we would come back to another time to experience in more detail. Of course it helps immensely that Oahu is a beautiful place.

Great Tour Guide
Reviewed by: Pamela, 2018/06/29Sean was a wonderful guide. Being a native to Oahu, he was knowledgeable about anything we wanted to know. He was friendly and polite and made sure that we saw the things that were important to us. I would highly recommend this tour. Ask for Sean!

Very good day! Great value! Would highly recommend.
Reviewed by: Christel and Jason, 2018/04/18My husband and I went on a North shore / O'ahu tour a week ago with Aloha Island Expedition. We had a wonderful time and we got to see and experience a lot of unique sites throughout the day. It was the best day we've had in our 3-weeks visit to Hawai'i. Our guide was very friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable and he really customized the day's activities based on our interests. He went out of his way to make sure that everything went smoothly and that we had the best time. We saw so much in 8-hours! Some of the highlights of our tour were: the Royal Mausoleum, the Green World coffee farms (such good coffee!), the many beaches along the North Shore, the Byodo-Inn temple, the Nu'uanu pali and (my personal favorite) the Ulupo heiau. Our lunch of Huli-Huli chicken and Garlic shrimp was also ono! There was nothing negative to say about the tour. It was all around wonderful. We would highly recommend it to anyone interested in seeing O'ahu in a more "authentic" light as well as people trying to see all that they can see in a day. We will definitively book another tour through Aloha Island Expedition the next time we come back to O'ahu. Mahalo nui, guys, for a job very well done!

Great Short Tour
Reviewed by: DonzGC, 2018/03/20We just wanted to get out of Waikiki for half a day and this was the perfect tour. Jarod our tour guide was 100% local and had so much interesting local knowledge to impart. Took us to some great locations. Only thing I would say was a slight negative was that the jeep is probably not that comfortable for 4 adults. Initially it was just my partner and myself and we were so excited but then picked up another 2 males - so was fairly crammed in back seat. Would have liked it to be topless as well.

Jeep Tour
Reviewed by: Oahu88, 2016/05/24Our first scheduled tour was cancelled last minute for unknown reasons, but luckily we were able to reschedule for later in our vacation.
Anyways, it was pretty fun. The jeep was closed-topped and air conditioned; fairly comfortable.
Tour guide was great; laid back and flexible.
We didn't really spend much time at the Dole plantation. We didn't go to a coffee plantation, but did stop at a macadamia shop. We didn't stop at Byodo temple. We skipped lunch, but did stop at a fruit stand. We stopped at several scenic points of interest, but as expected, a lot of the time was spent getting from place to place. We did do a small hike, which I guess I might have missed that in the description as I was unprepared..bring shoes!
Decent tour if you prefer a small group (we were paired with one other couple).
