Reviewed by: Alberto Ortega, 2015/12/27

Simply wonderful. You travel around Oahu, visiting many beaches and points of attraction, like the Budist temple, Kualua Ranch, Dole Plantation and much more. The tour guide was excelent, I give him the highest calification.

  • Budist temple

  • In the tour we visited a few wonderful beaches.

  • Kualoa Ranch, Oahu northeast.

Excellent tour once we got started

Reviewed by: Honolulu tourist, 2015/12/15

Our original driver lost his wallet so could not drive us. We had to wait close to an hour to get a new driver. This combined with heavy traffic due to a Christmas parade resulted in our tour being significantly delayed and feeling somewhat rushed as we tried to save time at each stop. Our second driver was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent running commentary as we toured. We did skip a couple of stops/activities due to the delays, but we're not offered any type of compensation. While this is a highly recommended tour company that provided the service, I find it disappointing they did nothing to make up for their issues.

Nice scenery

Reviewed by: Dan B, 2015/11/11

Started out from our hotel with a great driver who was very knowledgable and entertaining. We stopped to see Hanauma Bay which was beautiful then moved on to see some very beautiful scenery areas and a stop for ice cream. We hadn't seen this part of the island before especially the beautiful homes with ocean scenery. We ended up at Kuala Ranch that had a tram tour that was somewhat of a disappointment because we saw scenery from the ranch that we could see from the road but now much of the ranch or ranching activities. The gold buffet lunch was okay but only came with complimentary water with tiny plastic glasses. If we wanted any other drinks we had to stand in line while our food got cold. We headed to Dole thinking we would get a tour but again only stopped at the gift shop for shopping. Best part of that was we had another pineapple whip which was great. We saw many of the same things on this tour that we saw the day before on our Pearl Harbor / Polynesian tour. The driver was great and very informative but the tour was just so-so and wouldn't recommend it to others who do the Pearl Harbor / Polynesian Cultural Center.

It was a long day but the time flew by as our tour guide/driver kept us entertained the entire day. We will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family and we look forward to booking more tours the next time we're in Oahu!

  • Breathtaking view!

A Fantastic tour !!

Reviewed by: Nikki J from UK, 2015/10/06

We spent 2 nights in Honolulu after a cruise so as we were short on time so this was the best way to see most of the Island. It was an amazing tour, very well organized and saw a lot of places we would never of seen on our own. Our guide Ernie was brilliant, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone staying on the Island.

Grand Circle tour was great, the guide has a complete knowledge of the island and its history, altough there is not enough time to see the entire Dole Plantation at least it gives you the opportunity to enjoy a good pineapple treat, in general a must in any Hawaii vacation

Amazing

Reviewed by: Julia, 2015/03/22

I defenitely recommend that tour to everyone who visits Oahu for the first time and wants to see as much as possible! I rented a car for the time after to visit my favorite spots again! Our bus driver Ed was so funny and taught us some Hawaiian words and about the history and culture! Definitely worth it! DO IT AND GO ON THAT TOUR!!!

  • Beautiful Hanauma Bay!

  • Pineapple on the Dole plantation

  • Temple

A bit too much time on a bus,

Reviewed by: Jesper, 2015/02/09

It was nice to see various things on this tour, but it felt a bit too much like sitting on a bus a lot of the time, with too short stops at interesting places. We got sufficient time at the Byodo-In temple, which was good, but the North Shore was less than a 5 minute stop. I really wanted to see the Kualoa ranch, and partly booked this tour because of it going there, but the short tram ride only did a short route outside the valley of the ranch, which was a personal disappointment for me (I went for a full Kualoa tour the following day to make up for that).
The Pali lookout was nice.
I would have enjoyed it better if I got to see less things in a better way, than to rush through several things too quickly.

  • Hanauma Bay

  • Pali lookout

  • Byodo-In temple

  • North shore

Ernal, our tour guide, made the trip that much better!

Reviewed by: Suri, 2014/12/04

This truly was the best tour ever. Had a little bit of confusion as to where the bus was going to pick us up, but a quick call to customer service cleared everything up.

Can't say enough about Ernal, our tour guide. Super friendly, knowledgeable and over all great guy. During our tour he was teaching us Hawaiian words and very interesting facts about Hawaii. His stories were funny and kept us to schedule.

You really should do this tour!

Grand Circle Island

Reviewed by: Susie Pena, 2014/10/18

The tour was fantastic! Our driver, Ben, was awesome and so informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and learned so much about the Island that we would not have had we driven ourselves. Especially because it was our first tour of the Island, it was totally worth it! Relaxing, beautiful and fun. Kudos to Ben!! Highly recommend it!!

This was a great and informative guide. Our tour guide knew more about the island then I ever did. Kids got tired on bus so they fell asleep near the end. I was very happy and enjoyed it very much.recommend to bring something for small children to snack on and drink aswell as somwthing to do while on the bus. Over great time.

Best Island Must see

Reviewed by: Arnold, 2014/07/01

When visiting the Island of O'ahu it makes so much like right to know about the Island you chose. This tour has to be at the Top of your list. You see the Island + Dole Pineapple Plantation + Kualoa Ranch where there are movie sets + horseback riding + ATV tours. My group thanked me for this tour again and again and some went back to take train ride and do Maze at the Pineapple tour.

Good circle trip of island. Saw many beautiful vistas, temple, beaches. Good way to see things you may want to go back to but is a long day. Driver was also tour guide which probably shouldn't have been... Felt that was distracting and dangerous.
