We had an amazing time on our private tour with Michael. He is very knowledgeable, and we learned SO much! He made the tour fun, and enjoyable and his inside tips helped us make the most of our time at every stop. Thanks for a great experience and taking such good care of us! We will be recommending you to everyone we know that plans a trip to Oahu.
My family had the pleasure of using Michael and Halia Tours twice when we stayed on Oahu. We have two kids ages 9 and 13, and they also had a blast. Michael was on time and was willing to take us anywhere we wanted and wait as long or as little as we needed at each place. He knows the island so well, and all the tips he shared helped us make good choices for what we wanted to do each day. One really great thing about Michael was that he was super flexible. Having kids, we often had to make plan changes on the fly and Michael had no problem with anything and was always super accommodating. I just can’t say enough good things about this guy. He knows so much about the locations and history of Hawaii that I came away learning so many cool things about the places we visited. His recommendations for food and shopping were spot on. Add to that he cares deeply about the environment, culture, and history of Hawaii, and my whole family was impressed. But perhaps my favorite thing about our two full days with Halia Tours was how much positive energy Michael communicated. He is the type of guy you want to be friends with. Finally, Michael was so good with making sure he spent equal time talking and staying aware of all of our needs. He was so good with our kids. They just loved him and still talk about him 3 weeks later. My 13 year old son kept asking me if we can stay in touch with Michael after we go home :o). I don’t know when we will go back to Oahu, but hopefully it is soon, and the first thing we will be setting up is a few days with Michael from Halia Tours! Thank you again from Tony, Tara, Jamison, and MooMoo.
We spent the most engaging, educational and fun day with Michael of Hali'a Tours. He was prompt, extremely knowledgeable, a great conversationalist and story-teller, and flexible to our requirements. Our initial enquiry had quite the wishlist, and not only did we accomplish most of those at our own pace, we also had the privilege of being able to learn about local culture, history, food, and folklore but also to be able to give back to the community by helping to clean up a local beach. Certainly the clean up was the best part of my entire family's day. The cost of the 9hr Tour (which ended up being almost 12hours without any additional cost) was extremely reasonable, and we got so much more out of our day than we had anticipated. We can't wait to come back to Hawaii to explore more with Michael and Hali'a Tours.
Michael Waters is one of the best tour guides I could have asked for. We had a tour with him back in June 2018 and we went back on 12/5/19. He helped me with planning a surprise vow renewal for my husband for our 21st Anniversary. He is very knowledgeable with HI culture. I cannot wait to go back in a few years and have him show us around again. He also give me ideas of were to get leis for our ceremony. Mahalo, aloha nui Michael for everything.
