It was a very nice bus, and there was a restroom, so it was comfortable. The driver, who also served as the guide, was enthusiastic and entertaining. Since it was an English tour, I only understood parts of it, but I still enjoyed it even though my English isn't great.
However, we visited many places, so the time spent at each location was short, and waiting in line for the restroom further reduced our sightseeing time, which was a bit unsatisfying. The malasadas we had along the way were delicious.
凄く立派なバスでお手洗いもあったので、快適でした。運転兼ガイドの方も説明も熱心で面白かったです。英語のツアーなので、所々しかわからなかったのですが...
英語が不得意でもたのしめました。
ただ、沢山回るのでそれぞれの滞在時間が短くて、トイレに並ぶと見学時間が余計に短くなってしまい、ものたりなかったです。
途中で頂いたマラサダま美味しかったです。
それぞれの滞在時間が短いので、さっさと動かないと集合時間に遅れるので気をつけて。

The bus driver provided various explanations while driving, which made the experience very enjoyable. He was a kind person who loved Japan. Haleiwa Town and the Dole Plantation were such attractive places that we didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted! 🎶

I wish I had done this tour earlier into my trip. We got to see the entire island. It was clear that our guide, Kevin was passionate and knowledgeable on the island's history and culture. Our group made a few stops additional to the two main activities. It was well worth the cost. As a solo traveller I had an amazing time on this excursion!

I was looking for a tour to stop by the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout since I didn't rent a car. Our guide Marlon provided a wealth of information about Hawaii, and we were able to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots across Oahu, which made me very satisfied. Since it was an English-only tour, there were no other Japanese participants, and I felt a bit anxious as it was my first time in Hawaii. However, Marlon spoke English that was easy for Japanese speakers to understand and was fluent in Japanese as well, so having Marlon as a guide is the best for Japanese visitors! The malasadas were delicious, and both the bus and restroom were clean, and the driving was excellent.
レンタカーを借りなかったのでヌウアヌ・パリ展望台へ立ち寄るツアーを探していました。ガイドのMarlonはハワイに関する豊富な情報を提供してくれて、オアフ島全域の観光スポットを効率良く回ることができ、とても満足しました。英語のみのツアーだったので他に日本人はおらず、初めてのハワイで不安でした。しかし、Marlonは日本人でも聞き取りやすい英語を話してくれて、日本語も流暢なので、日本人はガイドがMarlonだと最高です!マラサダもおいしく、バスもトイレも綺麗で、運転も上手でした。
If you have free time, I recommend researching the places you want to visit in advance!

A tour that allows for efficient sightseeing during free time. It's enjoyable to just hop on the bus and explore without thinking too much! Although it was a bus tour, it was very efficient and offered plenty of free time, so I was able to go around without any stress. Our driver, Chris, was fluent in Japanese and even though it was an English tour, he provided guidance in both English and Japanese! He drove skillfully, so there was no worry about motion sickness. The conversations during the tour and the explanations at each landmark were excellent, making the travel time enjoyable!
At the Dole Plantation, we had pineapple soft serve, which was quite a large portion, so sharing between two people is recommended. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at Haleiwa, where we had two hours of free time and received a recommended map, making it easy to explore! We enjoyed both the pineapple burger and garlic shrimp recommended by our driver before heading back. It was a very fun time!
自由時間メインなので効率良く回れるツアー
何も考えずにバスに乗って観光出来るので楽!
バスツアーでしたが、とてと効率的で自由時間が沢山あるのでストレス無くこ 効率的に回れました!ドライバーのクリスさんは日本語も堪能で英語ツアーでしたが、英語と日本語両方で案内をしてくれました!

A noticeable small bus welcomed us at the meeting point. There were a total of 17 tour participants, with only 3 Japanese, and all explanations were in English. There was a self-introduction time, so we needed to briefly introduce ourselves in English, mentioning where we were from, how many times we had been to Hawaii, and what we were looking forward to on this tour.
Now, although it has been corrected, I was worried because the tour course I signed up for was supposed to go directly from Honolulu to Haleiwa Town, but it deviated from the course midway. We switched from Freeway H1 to H3, passed through Kaneohe on the east coast, and headed north along the coastline. After passing the famous filming location Kualoa Ranch, we took a restroom break at Tropical Farms. Here, we could sample macadamia nuts and had the experience of cracking the nuts out of their shells with a stone. After a break at a fruit stand, we went to Sunset Beach. It was November, and surfers were challenging the high waves.
Then, the morning activities began, and we chose to take a walk at Waimea Falls Park. The entrance fee to the park was included in the tour price, and the guide paid for it. The course to the waterfall was rich in nature and very relaxing. The water volume of the waterfall was abundant due to the rainy season, which was enjoyable, but during the dry season, the water volume is low, so it's something to be cautious about depending on the date of your visit. We could swim near the waterfall, but it was murky, so we didn't swim. Since we had some time before the meeting time, we had lunch there.
After that, we moved to Haleiwa Town, and in the afternoon activity, we tried SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). The location was behind a shop called Surf & Sea, and life jackets were available at no extra charge. The tour guide provided instruction, and while it was easy to get on the board, standing up required some skill. We could also paddle while sitting on the board, which was enjoyable, and I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle up close.
Although I was worried because the tour was in a language I didn't understand, I was helped by a friendly guide and friendly tour companions.
目立つ小さなバスが集合場所まで出迎えてくれました。
ツアー客は総勢17人で、その中で日本人は3人だけ、全て英語での説明となります。
自己紹介タイムがあるので、どこから来たのか、ハワイは何回目か、このツアーに期待しているものなど簡単に英語で紹介する必要があります。
さて、現在は訂正されていますが、申し込んだ時のツアーコースはホノルルからハイレワタウンへ直行だったのが途中からコースから外れていたので心配しました。フリーウェイH1から途中H3に移り、東海岸のカネオヘを通過し海岸線を北上。映画のロケ地で有名なクアロア・ランチを通過後、トロピカルファームでトイレ休憩しました。ここではアカデミアナッツの試食ができ、また殻から石でナッツを取り出して食べる体験ができました。その後、フルーツスタンドで休憩した後、サンセットビーチに行きました。行ったのは11月で、サーファー達が高い波に挑戦していました。その後、午前のアクティビティが始まり、私達はワイメア滝公園での散歩を選択しました。公園へは入場料はツァー料に含まれ、ガイドが払ってくれました。滝までのコースは自然が豊かでのんびりと楽しむことができました。滝の水量は雨季だったので豊富で楽しめましたが、乾季は水量が少ないので行く日程によっては注意が必要です。滝壺近くで泳ぐこともできましたが、濁っていたので泳ぎませんでした。集合時間まで時間があったのでここでランチを済ませました。その後、ハレイワタウンに移動し、午後のアクティビティではSUP(スタンドアップパドル)に挑戦しました。場所はサーフ&シーという店の裏で、ライフジャケットは追加料金なしで利用できました。指導はツァーガイドが行い、簡単にボードに乗ることはできましたが、立ち上がるにはコツが要ります。ボードの上に座ったまま漕ぐこともできるので十分楽しめましたし、至近距離でウミガメに遭遇したのに感動しました。なお、貴重品ボックスと荷物を入れるロッカーは簡易なものだったので盗難を心配しましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。集合時間になったらバスに乗り、途中でトイレ休憩後、ホノルルまで送ってくれました。
日本語が通じないツアーだったので心配しましたが、親しみあるガイドと友好的なツアー仲間に助けられました。
Do not forget to make a reservation for Waimea Falls during the dry season. Make sure to take a photo of the guide's notes on the meeting time with your smartphone to keep a record.

18 of our group of 24 went on this excursion. A few things- SAM was absolutely fantastic! So much knowledge- loved it! The fruit stand was awesome, the macadamia nuts stop was great, we were able to get great souvenirs at the best prices, treats, coffee- delish, bathrooms were clean and staff provided an excellent experience. We did the Waterfalls (definitely recommend) in the morning and had lunch at the cafe/bar there. Everything we ordered was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Then we did kayaking, SUP and some exploring aka shopping and tastes of local foods, LOL. So glad to have taken this excursion. Sam even had ice in the cooler.

The tour was fun! Our Drivers gave us information about sites as we drove along! We stopped at the macadamia nut farm and fruit stand!! He gave us options about what was available for us to do! I was with a big group, we chose hiking to the waterfall and kayaking/paddleboarding!! The hike was along a paved road so not much hiking but swimming in a waterfall was worth it!! Make sure you wear water shoes that can tolerate walking on rocks if you get in at the waterfall! And while paddle boarding, I saw a turtle then ate gelato at one of the vendors near the lake!
Overall 9/10 experience!!! Would have loved to have gone to the beach as well but time didn’t permit

Ryan was knowledgeable, showing us all of the different flora and wild boar trails, and went out of his way to provide extra help for me getting in and out of the vehicle and in and out of the water. Had a great time at the "playground" being the only participant to fall completely off my seat! What a great time it was bouncing around the property and basking in nature's beauty.

This was the best circle island tour I could’ve had. Our bus driver, Lola, was fabulous. There were six of us on this tour, grandparents, adult children and grandchildren. We all very much enjoyed the tour and all of the Hawaiian history that Lola presented. We saw the best of the island (Oahu), and she got us in and out of places before they were overcrowded. We had plenty of time at all stops and never felt rushed. I could not have asked for a better experience for my family on their first trip to Oahu. I’m highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a full day’s tour. Sure, you can drive it yourself, but you’ll never get the full experience of hearing the history and stories from someone who actually lives on the island. Do yourself a favor and take this tour.

We had a fantastic experience in the grand circle island tour. We got to see almost all the best attraction points in Oahu, with plenty of opportunities for food and souvenirs. The best part of the tour is probably that we get to really relax and pay full attention to the views, without having to worry about itineraries or directions. Coincidentally we did a self-drive over a very similar route last time we visited, and the experience is far better this time around with the tour. I think we also got very lucky with our driver and guide Kimo. He was both knowledgeable about everything in Hawaii, and great at storytelling along the way. He also dealt with a couple of unexpected issues caused by other traveler groups very fast and smoothly. Would recommend overall.
