Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm
Ernal, our tour guide, made the trip that much better!
Activity Date: 2014/11/28 | Posted on: 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!

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!!

Great tour from our tour guide Ed. You get a good overall view of most of the island. Some of the stops were a little short, but overall an enjoyable day.

Activity Date: 2014/08/23 | Posted on: 2014/08/24

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.

This tour was great. We experienced in a way we wouldn't have because of the vast knowledge of our driver Coco who made it that much better. I highly recommend to get a well rounded understanding of beautful Oahu!!

Best Island Must see
Activity Date: 2014/06/24 | Posted on: 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 overview of island
Activity Date: 2014/01/19 | Posted on: 2014/02/08

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.

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.

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 !
Posted on: 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.

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.
Posted on: 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!
Posted on: 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!

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!
Posted on: 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
Posted on: 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.

Visit the Byodo-In Temple, located deep in the heart of Oahu's Valley of the Temples, and experience the peaceful serenity of this non-denominational Japanese shrine commemorating the first Japanese immigrants who arrived in Hawaii over a century ago. This replica of a 900 year old ancient Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan is tucked at the base of the Koolau Mountains and is set upon beautiful acres of koi ponds and Japanese botanical gardens.
