Grand Circle Island Tour

Reviewed by: Gary, 2013/02/06

Ed ("just plain Ed") did a great job narrating our tour around the island.. It was nice to get away from busy Waikiki and see the island. It is a beautiful island and I would recommend this tour as a great overview of Oahu.

Great time had by all

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2013/01/15

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu. This trip is a must for those who have never been to the island before. You get the taste of the island in this one trip and then you can go off on your own and know where you are and what you will see. Great time

Definitely a day to remember !

Reviewed by: David & Carol NZ, 2012/09/06

Having taken the Grand Circle Tour on a previous holiday we decided to do it again. Keow our driver and guide made the second time so enjoyable. His vast knowledge and information along with his friendly personality made it a day to remember.
Giving us photo taking stops along the way and interspersing his commentary with his own humour kept us well amused
It was a long day so maybe not so suitable for famililes with young children but for all other ages well worth considering as it gave the opportunity to see many areas that we would have otherwise missed , the beautiful beaches, magnificent views and interesting places. These along with our very special guide definitely made this a day we will always remember.

Great Day

Reviewed by: Jen, 2011/12/22

This was a wonderful way to see the whole island. Even with a little rain we had a wonderful time. The tour guide was very informative and had great knowledge of the area. He made great stops for an appropriate amount of time, helped take pictures of guests, and overall made the day go so fast. I would recommend this tour to any first timers in Oahu!

Around the island.

Reviewed by: Mille Sass, 2011/11/27

The best of the tour where our guide " aunt Em " she was more like a grandmother and she was so nice and sweet and she told us so many things.
The vehichle was not so good as I thought. I know the roads are pretty bad some places but in a big bus it´s more comftable.
But we visited some nice places, my favourit was the temple, the beaches and the lookouts.

Very informative and great for the first time coming to Hawaii but it does not take you into Diamond Head, you just go around it!

I had a wonderful time and will recommend to anyone traveling to Oahu.

Awesome tour!

Reviewed by: Kathy Doucette, 2010/12/30

This tour was fantastic and was the second time we had taken it. The first time was five years ago and we took it again this time with a friend. She thought we would be bored but not at all as we learned even more about the island. Our driver grew up on the island and was able to tell us stories going back generations. This tour is a must see for anyone visiting the island! Aloha!

Excellent way to see Oahu!

Reviewed by: Val, 2010/03/05

This was the best way for a first-timer to the island to visit all the high notes of the island. Our tour guide Garfield was great -- knowledgeable, courteous, and amusing. My boyfriend and I had driven around the island by ourselves the day before and it was nice to get the information on the places we had stopped at and seen, but didn't know about.

I would recommend this tour to anyone vacationing on Oahu for the first time.

Outstanding!

Reviewed by: Katie<3, 2009/12/10

We did this tour on our first day at Oahu, and it gave us an excellent introduction to the culture, landscapes, and lifestyles of Hawai'i. The tour was absolutely fantastic; we saw so many different and beautiful places without ever feeling rushed. Perhaps the best thing about the tour though was our guide Keau- he was so welcoming, funny, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this tour to all visitors to Hawai'i :)

Aloha!

Oahu Grand Circle Tour

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/07/23

We enjoyed the Oahu Sightseeing Tour (Grand Circle Island Tour w/ Kualoa Ranch and Dole Pineapple Plantation). Our driver/tour guide "Napi" had so much information to share with us - he really made this trip interesting. I learned many things about the island that I would not have known about had we gone on this trip by ourselves in a rental car The price was reasonable and worth it. I recommend this to anyone coming to Oahu.
Mahalo,

Nappy RULES!!

Reviewed by: Dar from San Diego, 2009/03/17

Nappy, our bus driver and tour guide, made our tour fun, friendly and informative! He is a great storyteller and really takes an interest in his guests. All day tours in large busses are often long and grueling but he took the time to get to make sure that everyone was safe and was able to enjoy each stop to the fullest. My cousin, who is a local but has never played 'tourist', thought he was wonderful! She said that she never thought taking an island tour could be so much fun. Mahalo nui loa, Nappy! You are 'no ka oi' and we love you!

Fantastic Day !!!!!!

Reviewed by: Dan & Brenda, 2008/10/27

Loved the tour. Our tour guide was "Ed" very friendly and knowledgeable. Also entertaining.
This was a fantastic day. It was nice to go and see the places we wouldn't have seen if we had driven around the island. So much would have been missed if we hadn't taken the tour.
We do plan to do it again sometime. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice adventure.

We had a great time on this tour, our driver was fantastic, Keao made everyone feel like they were a friend. We had young children in our group and he entertained them a lot of the way, along with the rest of us. Very informative and wonderful way to see the island. Only negative, would have liked to have just a little more time at the Dole Plantation.

This was the best tour of the whole trip. It was probably made that way by the tour guide that we had. Garfield was our guide and he was very informative and well liked. We learned more on this tour even though we had lived on the island before.

WE LOVE RONGO!!

Reviewed by: The, 2008/04/28

We had a great time on this tour. We saw a little bit of everything. Rongo, our guide, was so much fun, and so knowledgable. He had so much personal knowledge of the island we often felt like we were somehow being driven around by an old friend who wanted to 'show us around'. Rongo was just a great, great guide. We had fun. We had time to take pictures anywhere we stopped, never felt rushed or hurried. Loved everything we saw and felt like we got a very complete 'view' of the island as well as it's history and all of the things that made 'Oahu'....Oahu. We took this tour our second day in Oahu in case we stumbled across something we would want to spend more time investigating later. We're glad we did. Rongo was also willing to give us tips on great places to eat, or grab a drink. We really had fun!

Definately worth it for firsttimers

Reviewed by: Bryan, 2008/02/08

Rongo, our driver, was very fun and entertaining. From picking us up to dropping us off he had excellent information to share and plenty of jokes to tell. Even after most people were dropped off and we were the last ones to our hotel, he was giving us little tidbits of information on good eating and fun attractions. This is a trip everyone should see on their first visit to oahu, and the dole plantation is a must.
