Oahu
This is the tour that o have been waiting for. I am so interested in history especially about military history. For me, visiting Hawaii for the first time, this is a MUST see, experience and enjoy the place and give respect to our fallen heroes. This is the best tour! Our driver Tony, and tour guide Corin were the BEST! Tony was very kind and helpful. Since, the USS Missouri was not included in our trip, I approached our kind Tony and he immediately help us to get the other trip. It was quick and easy fix. He even texted us for the details of our pick up since he is not our driver anymore going back to Waikiki. Thank you, Tony. Corin, our tour guide was knowledgeable and ready to answer your questions right away. Thank you, Corin. As I mentioned earlier that Tony was not our driver back to Waikiki anymore, I want to give a shout out to Chris, our second driver. Chris was patient as he waited for one family to show up ( about ten minutes) before leaving the area. Unfortunately, the family still didn't show up after a long wait. Chris was so funny and made our travel back an amazing and informative experience. I highly recommend this tour and the company for your tour to USS Arizona, Pearl Harbor, and USS Missouri. Good luck to the staff and a big MAHALO!
Driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Did his best to keep our son entertained. We would recommend this to anyone.
Really enjoyed the tour as promised. Guide Chris was terrific.
This tour was perfect. Our guide lived in Hawaii all her life and have such a warm and detailed tour. It was the perfect amount of time too. We got to explore everywhere possible in the amount of time we had.
Aloha Kimberli,
We are very happy to hear of your enjoyment! Thank you for sharing your experience, we are very grateful.
Please join us in the future for our Circle Island Tour, you will not be disappointed.
Mahalo!
Excellent City Tour and Pearl Harbor visit, especially with Tony as the escort. We had a timely pick-up, and learned a lot about the history of Honolulu and the island of Oahu in general. Tony was not only informative, but humorous and personable. He provided great tips on how to navigate the Pearl Harbor tour. Highly recommend!
We enjoy this tour each time we take it. We brought our mom and wanted her to experience the sites of the island. Chelsie was very knowledgeable with details about the different stops, as well as along the route. I would recommend this tour to anyone with plans on visiting Oahu.
Aloha Regina,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos! And Mahalo for including your mom, we loved sharing our island with her too! We are very grateful for your continued support and consider you 'ohana (family). We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to your return. Until then, please stay well!
Mahalo!
I was told in an email to call after arriving at the airport, but I couldn't get through. While I was lost, I spotted a Roberts Hawaii vehicle and, upon speaking to them, I learned that they were checking in at that location.
空港に到着後に電話するようにとメールで言われており、電話をしたがつながらず、迷っているとロバーツハワイの車を発見し話しかけたところ、その場所で受付をしていたと聞かされた。
The Luau was amazing. The surroundings were beautiful. Highly recommend.
Aloha and Mahalo Jeannette for giving us a great review and rating. We are glad you had a great time with us at the luau and enjoyed Waimea Valley. Hope to see you guys again soon!
We had an awesome guide, Tony! During the city tour, he really gave so much important and valuable history and background of Hawaii for someone who has never been to Hawaii or know much about how the state came about.
Our Pearl Harbor tour was great! Would have definitely added the USS Missouri tour as we felt we wanted more time at Pearl Harbor.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and fun, great way to see the island and the Polynesian center was fun and the show was amazing
It started out with the driver arriving more than an hour late. He had to use the bathroom upon arrival which delayed us by another 15 mins. We had to rush through everything g. There was no swimming at the waterfall. We walked up to it turned around and walked back. Got to Dole in time for whip to jump back in the van to air in traffic for 1.5+ hours. There was no air conditioning and the speakers didn’t work. We were HOT with no tour/history lesson. HORRIBLE!!
Dear Holly,
Your complaint is very concerning to us. We understand your disappointment and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. It’s important to us that our guests are more than satisfied and we wanted to let you know that although this reply is late, we did go ahead and resolve the air conditioning and speaker issue immediately.
We spoke to the driver and he was provided with the necessary corrective steps to ensure this will not happen again.
Thank you for your honest feedback as we were very grateful that you joined us. We hope we have a future opportunity to show you our improvements. Until then, please stay well.
Mahalo!
We had such a great experience on this tour! Our driver was awesome. He was super helpful and explained all the changes due to COVID. They had our numbers on the list in case they needed to call us to make sure we got back on the bus. The city tour was just a quick drive by and no getting off the bus. It was the perfect amount of time to view everything. 2 hours was plenty of time for the memorial as well as the two museums available.
I can not recommend this enough!! If you are on Oahu it is worth the trip to Waimea Valley. This was my family & I's absolute favorite thing we did in Hawaii! It was incredibly personable, authentic, and overall an amazing luau. They were all very nice and made a point to come to every table and talk with all of the guests. They even went above and beyond by helping the table next to us and walking their baby around in the stroller so that they could eat their dinner. Everyone was in awe at how amazing the crew made this experience for everyone. They were truly enjoying teaching everyone about the Polynesian culture from the Polynesian Islands, and it made the experience that much better. Can not recommend enough! GO GO GO!
Aloha and mahalo Monique for this review! We are so thankful and glad to hear that you had a great time with us and enjoyed the luau, we want to make you feel welcomed and well accommodated and get the chance to enjoy every bit of the luau. We appreciate you guys for coming and hoping we'd see you guys again soon if you ever get to visit the island again!
Very humble experience to witness the oil seeping from U.S.S. Arizona after all these years. The video was very informative.
Highly recommend to EVERYONE!
We had the best flight! It was our first time on Oahu. This was a wonderful way to see the island from the air before we started exploring. We had a great pilot who was very knowledgeable. We will definitely be doing this again!
It was stated that I could contact them in Japanese with a phone number, but no matter how many times I called, I couldn't get through. When I finally did get through, a staff member who couldn't speak Japanese answered, and I felt anxious because I couldn't communicate in English.
日本語で連絡ができると電話番号が記載されていましたが、何度かけても電話が繋がらずやっと繋がったと思いましたが日本語が話せないスタッフが出て英語が通じず不安な思いをしました。
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!!
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! We are especially delighted to know your children had fun at the luau, and we really hope to see you again when you're back in Oahu. God bless you and yours!
fun interactive luau experience. cousin Billy was the funniest ever, we enjoyed our first luau with very friendly staff and night full of culture experiences.
Aloha and mahalo for your review! We'll be sure to tell Cousin Billy you left him a review - we find him to be engaging and hilarious too! ^_^
I received a call from the Japanese staff the evening before. Charlie Taxi was arranged and arrived to pick me up about 7 minutes before the scheduled time. I felt very secure using their service. I think it would be smoother to register a mobile number that can communicate or, if using the hotel phone, to provide the room number when making a reservation.
前日の夕方に日本語スタッフさんからTELがあります。
チャーリータクシーが手配され、約束の時間の7分前に迎えに来てくれました。
とても安心して利用できました。
予約の際には通じる携帯か、ホテルのTELの場合は部屋番号を登録しておくとスムーズだと思います。
This was an outstanding tour and I learned a lot about the Hawaiian culture from the guide. He was funny and just one of the nicest persons I have met.
Good experience. We need more time in Pearl habour. 2.5hrs isn’t enough. Too much to unpack there
This Pearl Harbor tour was more than what I had expected. I expected to just be dropped off at the location of Pearl Harbor to tour it on my own, which would have been ok. But the trolley ride was enjoyable, and the driver was very knowledgeable and informative about the events or Pearl Harbor, and also the history of the island as well. He was very entertaining, humorous and personal able, relating well with his clients, getting them involved in the tour. He assured that we all know what to expect and what was expected of us. We had plenty of time to explore and to pay or respect to the men and the events of that terrible day in history. I would recommend this tour to all I know when they visit Oahu and hope that they are lucky enough to get our guide for this experience.
Aloha Pamela,
This is so wonderful to hear! Thank you for taking the time to share this. We are very grateful that you joined us.
Mahalo nui loa! (Thank you very much!)
Marlon was an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and funny. Social distancing and super clean bus! I learned so much about Pearl Harbor and Honolulu! Highly recommend!
We were initially skeptical of going to any Luau after a previous experience we had on Maui. We were concerned it would feel like a crowded dinner show instead of an authentic experience. We live on Oahu and had guests who really wanted to go. Tao Luau appealed to us because Waimea Falls is a beautiful setting away from resorts, and it has way less occupancy for the event then the others (200 compared to up to 800!). We were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome, hands on experience, delicious dinner, and stunning show. We have visitors coming in a week, and more in the summer, and have already booked for two more times!
Aloha Heidi, and mahalo for your review! We are pleased to know you had a great experience at the luau, which was initially not what you thought it was. We are glad we have changed your mind about activities like ours. We have planned everything about the luau having one goal - make it a great experience for everybody. Come see us again when you can :-) Mahalo!
After exiting with the orange tape for pre-clearance, I was welcomed with a board that had my name on it, and after confirmation, the staff guided me to the pickup area. In reality, a Charlie Taxi was arranged, and I was the only passenger! I arrived at the hotel in about 20 minutes. I believe the attentive service is due to the impact of COVID-19, but I can only express my gratitude for the pleasant service during such difficult circumstances.
プレクリアランスのオレンジテープを巻いて出口を出たら、
名前の書かれたボードで迎えてくださり、確認後はスタッフが乗り場まで案内してくれました。
実際はチャーリータクシーが手配されて、乗客は私一人!
20分ほどでホテルに到着しました。
至れり尽くせりのサービスは、コロナのせいだと思いますが、
大変な状況の中で気持ちの良いサービスで感謝しかありません。
Great tour! The guide was very knowledgeable about the island's history and pointed out may wonderful views, art murals, and landmarks as we drove towards the harbor. Pearl Harbor was a WONDERFUL experience and we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted and visit the gift shop.
Aloha Casey,
We are very pleased to hear of your enjoyment! Thank you for your recommendation and high rating. We are very grateful that you joined us.
We hope to see you again in the near future. Our Circle Island Tour does not disappoint.
Mahalo!
It was so nice to just jump on the bus and let Frank tell us about the history. He was an amazing tour guide and there was no stress of knowing where to go. He was very professional and kind. He was also very knowledgeable.
I lived on Oahu, and have attended many of the popular, industrial, Luaus on the island. Due to Covid, most were closed, so we went with Waimea Valley Toa Luau. I can say it was by far the most intermate, and authentic luau I've ever been to. The "cheaper" tickets still have a great, elevated view. The members/staff/performers are all family and the demonstrations they have are authentic to their history. With the admission to Waimea valley included, you can easily make an entire day of exploring the valley and concluding with the Luau. It truly felt like a family cookout (which is the true spirit of a luau) and not an assembly line of people and mediocre food (as most other industrial luaus are). Homemade coco drink, and no less than 5 fire throwers at once, put Waimea Valley Toa Luau over the top for me. Also, not a coconut bra in sight...
Aloha and mahalo for your review! We are very glad to know you had a marvelous time at the luau! We hope to see you again ^_^
Thank you for coming to pick me up without any worries!
I appreciate the smooth arrangements with no waiting time.
The staff are always kind and attentive, which makes me feel secure when making reservations.
I look forward to requesting your services again in the spring.
Thank you very much!
心配無くお迎えに来て下さいました!
待ち時間も無く、スムーズな配慮に感謝します
スタッフの方々も、親切で丁寧な対応にいつも
安心して予約できます
又春にお願い致します
有り難うございました!
I felt safe even during COVID-19. I was very worried about the transportation between the airport and the hotel in Hawaii, where there were no Japanese tourists at all, but I was able to relax because they were very kind and accommodating. I definitely want to use this service again, and I look forward to it in the future.
コロナでも安心できました。日本人観光客が全くいない状態のハワイで空港とホテルの移動がとても心配が多かったのですが、とても親切に対応してくださいましたので安心して過ごすことができました。またぜひ利用したいと思いますこれからもよろしくお願いします。
