Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour - East Oahu, Pali Lookout, Haleiwa & Dole

A must do for new visitors!

Reviewed by: Jake H

We did this tour as a couple who just wanted to see the island and this tour went above and beyond our expectations. Our guide, Kalani, was an experienced, funny, and overall great driver who took us to all the best spots in Oahu. This was our favorite thing we have done on our trip, I could not imagine coming to this island and NOT doing this tour. Starting the day with delicious malasadas, Kalani provides us with excellent service and knowledge about the history of the island. You HAVE to do this tour if you are coming to Oahu.

Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour - East Oahu, Pali Lookout, Haleiwa & Dole

Amazing Tour

Reviewed by: Josephine

My cousin and I had a great time on this tour. This was her first time in Hawaii but I have been many times so I can confidently say that this is one of the best island tours that I have been on. We got to eat malasadas at our first location at Haunama Bay. From there we went to Halona Blowhole and saw the amazing views from Nu’uanu Pali before the clouds came in. Then we went to Byodo Temple located in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park and rang the bell for good luck before heading towards the North Shore for lunch. We saw Chinaman’s Hat along the way. The Dole Plantation is a place I must visit every time I go to Hawaii just for the Dole Whip! We also got to visit King Kamehameha’s statue in Downtown Honolulu. But it was our tour guide/driver that made this trip around Oahu better than some of the tours I’ve experienced. Kalani was incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we visited and many other sites. His lived experiences made us feel the appreciation and connection he has for the island. He also made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire day. Our tour was on mother’s day so we are grateful for the time he could’ve spent with his mother, showing us around the island.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Fun kayak tour, beautiful views, sea turtles and manta rays!

Reviewed by: Donna

My husband and I had a lot of fun kayaking! We loved the glass bottom kayak [we weren't able to see much underneath the kayak (water wasn't that clear on the day we went) but that's ok!]

We had an amazing tour guide, Dan, who is very knowledgeable about the island and left it to us of what we wanted to do & see / how far we wanted to paddle.

We were able to see sea turtles and also manta rays popping up from the water, which was cool because we never been so close to them before or seen them the times we've been to Hawaii. We really enjoyed kayaking in the river because it was easy to paddle, calm waters and a beautiful view.

Highly recommend and would do this again! Thank you Dan for the tour!

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

Absolutely loved it!

Reviewed by: Lisa P

Beautiful hike to a Waimea Falls. The botanical gardens were beautiful and.full of history too. Easy hike for my kids Got to swim in the lagoon under the falls at the top. I love that they provided life jackets. Once we came down and changed it was off to the luau. We had a great time participating in some of the cultural activities and learning the Polynesian history and culture. Dancing was amazing and food phenomenal. My family really enjoyed it -especially my 11 year old and 15 year old. Highly recommend!!

We wanted to learn more about the culture of Hawaii through an activity that was outside our comfort zone and this tour was the best thing ever. Huge part to our tour guide Ryan who kept us engaged even though we were hanging on for dear life in some parts of the off-roading haha... it was a fun ride especially since it was just our group, we had space to bounce around.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides

Best Experience Ever

Reviewed by: Hawaii 2021

I would recommend this as a MUST DO!! Yes you will be nervous but, once you get on the boat your captains will make you feel so comfortable! They both have great humor that helps to calm your nerves. What you will experience while your in the cage is amazing! You get to see it all up close! I would recommend anyone to do this. For tourists plan transportation both ways prior to your tour. Its hard to get a uber in that area.

Cage shark dive

Reviewed by: Samantha harper

This was amazing amazing experience! The folks running the boat were informational and extremely friendly. There were only 4 people upon the boat and we were all able to get in the cage together comfortably. For the amount we paid we had a generous amount of time in the cage to view the shark in there natural habitat. They were very curious and we got some beautiful pictures. When I had an issue with the snorkel the team provided several others for me to try. The water was high 70’s and we took the early morning venture where the water was fairly still and the island was quiet. I would absolutely recommend this affordable once in a life time experience!
