This was our third time taking this two, as our two previous experiences had been excellent, and we were with a new travel companion and wanted to share the experience with him. This time the tour wasn't at all as advertised. We were supposed to have lunch at a private beach after boating across the beautiful fishponds. Instead we spent extra time at Waimea Valley and were given a disgusting pressed turkey sandwich and bottle of water. Following the falls, we spent more time stopping at various vendors to shop than we did any other attraction. The only other noteworthy attraction was the Valley of the Temples and we spent less time there than we did the last vendor! The tour was supposed to have a maximum of 20 people, and there were 25 of us crammed into the bus. I was so looking forward to this tour, and by the end of the day I was just embarrassed. I contacted the tour company and did receive a very nice apology and offer for another tour .... by then our travel guest had left, and I will never use this tour company again.

Cousin Kev gave the group us enough explanation as we passed or stopped at each sight. I especially enjoyed all the local color. I highly recommend this tour.

It was a great day! Guide Keith was native to islands and a wealth of interesting information as we circled Oahu. It was well worth the time, interesting and picturesque.

Our guide Keith was very informative and had good depth of knowledge about Hawaii in a multitude of topics, which made the day fun and interesting. Have been to Hawaii several times but still saw and learned new things.

This tour was amazing! I can not say enough about our guide Kealoha. He was a fantastic storyteller and made us all feel like family! He was wonderful at helping us capture our memories by taking photos for every group at each stop, how awesome is that?! There needs to be more people like him!

would give 10 stars if could. John Jr could not work harder to see we had a great tour. we got history,philosophy, mythology, island jokes, singing, plenty of stops to use restrooms and drinks. His knowledge and willingness to see we got a full day was incredible. great tour! Must ask for JOHN JR

A great way to see a little bit of everything Oahu has to offer. Tip: Do this tour on one of your 1st days, list the places you liked then return throughout your holiday. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

It was a good tour but too much time on the bus and too much political pontificating by the tour guide.

Our driver and guide was named Shannon. He was great and made the tour very fun. Saw a lot of interesting spots and we were given a lot of worthwhile information. Great tour!!

Dennis was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgable and always made sure we were comfortable. He had a great sense of humor, as well. It was a long day, but well worth it. If you rent a car, I would recommend going on this tour early on in your trip. That way, you can revisit the spots that caught your eye.

The aircon in the tour bus was extremely cold!! I've reflected this to the guide/driver, but not much improvement. Other than this, it was an enjoyable day.

Truly enjoyed the entire day. Great company and a variety of locations. Keith is a wonderful tour guide who kept his group happy and entertained.

We really enjoyed our day-out...unfortunately it rained and that caused less than favourable memories...but our tour guide was great and we still did all that we could while getting wet. The sights were amazing and the tour size was good, long day, but worth it.

A good tour of the island, but the itinerary was changed a bit and the bus broke down. We had to wait over an hour for a replacement which meant some places were then closed.

A great tour for the time poor!
Review by: Cynthia H, September 2015
Over all, the tour was worth doing. Some departures from the description: there was no boat ride to a secluded beach for a local lunch. The hike through Waimea Valley turned out to be a walk up an asphalt-paved path. The tour was fast-paced, and the guide even managed to get an extra stop at a coffee farm in, since we were ahead of schedule in the morning. With so many stops, we usually had about 15 minutes at a given location though there were exceptions. The guide provided interesting information along the way. The temple was fabulous it and Waimea Valley were highlights for me.

This tour was really amazing and best tour I had in my life. The tour guy was really really friendly and very kind. He love what he do so he is really great

Let me start off by saying that this is a great tour to see a lot in a short period of time. We truly did see the whole island, which ends up being a lot of ground to cover. Our guide, Danny, was engaging and fun throughout the day. The Waimea Valley Hike was beautiful and Danny was very informative about the landscape and history. The Byodo-in Temple was also beautiful and did honor the original temple in its design.
