A very beautiful, pleasant welcome to Hawaii ❤️ - We booked this activity for our first full day in Hawaii, and I couldn’t have thought of a better way to start our holiday!! Our tour guide was Stephanie and she was very prompt, kind, patient & extremely knowledgeable of the island. Plus our group was quite small so it felt like a private tour almost. It’s very well paced overall & my partner and I had so much fun! I’d recommend this for anyone starting their holiday in Hawaii just go get a good feel of the Island of Oahu & understand the true beauty of Hawaii. Mahalo Team 😊

Great tour - Had a great experience with this tour! Really liked the food truck option rather than specific meal location to pick and choose where you want to eat. I thought John was a great tour guide. Saw some beautiful landscape with tourist options as well. Will recommend.

Oahu Tour - Money well spent for the price I paid for my family. Our driver was Jon , very informative tour, he gave some trivial facts and history of Oahu while going around the island. The time he gave us was perfect not too little and not too much. We were lucky to have other people in the van who were very nice. Our tour ended around 4:30pm. Highly recommend Jon and this company.

A Great Overview - This was a perfect overview of the North Shore. Our guide, Allen, was right on time at our hotel and we picked up one other couple, so there were four of us - what a bargain compared to the buses loaded with tourists we saw along the way. Allen was knowledgeable and the number of stops was perfect for us.
We enjoyed all the stops Diamond Head to stopping for a Hawaiian treat, a malasada, where we compared favorites - original, cream filled (my favorite), chocolate, etc. We saw little towns and big ones and enjoyed hearing about their makeup and history.
We had traditional stops like Dole plantation and the macadamia nut store,but also enjoyed quick stops to view beautiful sights. We all enjoyed the food truck area with lots of trucks with many choices.
Our guide was a very safe driver and we would highly recommend this tour.

North Shore Tour Oahu - Our guide was excellent. He narrated just enough and did not talk constantly. Was very polite, informative, and approachable. The van was clean and well maintained. He picked us up in a timely manner. We enjoyed the drive and views and the stops we made.

Good way to see the island - Booked this as a good way to see the island and get to places we hadn’t been. As it was only a small tour we were picked up at our hotel, only 6 on the tour which is quite nice. Our driver Stephanie was very knowledgeable but does say of course a lot like we already knew what she was talking about. The bus is older and not a lot of leg room, don’t think I would want 10 in here for a full day. Would be great if the bus had music for background when there is not commentary but all it had was radio which dropped in and out.
Stephanie took us to a number of places both on and off the itinerary which was good for variety and she has some great photo spots on the coast. She was very knowledgeable and we learnt things we had not heard before on other tours. Stopping at the sugar mill for lunch was an experience but almost overwhelming with the amount of food trucks to pick from, possibly could do with a bit more time here to allow time to check everything out.

Great guide-not the best itinerary - Our guide, Allen was very good. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The itinerary was a bit too rushed. Stopping for 10 or 15 minutes wasn’t really enough at some locations. The itinerary included Dole plantation and entry ticket but there was no ticket. We were told not to go on the train. We only went into the store. My suggestion is to go to fewer places and give more timeAND a ticket to include train at Dole.
