Oahu Deluxe Grand Circle Island Tour

We had Ken as our tour guide and he was soo funny and informative at the same time! I loved his humor and connection to the Hawaiin spirit! I was swimming in the waterfall at the Waimea falls! Thanks Ken for the awesome ride and experience!

Our 3 day land tour with NCL Pride of America was a wonderful experience. We did the Polynesian Cultural Center/Downtown, Pearl Harbor, and Kualoa Ranch/ South shore. Our tour bus driver for the 3 days was Kimoke'o and he was so funny and very knowledgeable. He made the tours an experience unforgettable.

This excursion was worth it. Only problem we had is the driver kept the bus too cold. We informed him and he turned it up once and then turned it back down to 69. Mostly older people on the bus and we get cold faster

Great bus drive “Mike” who was very interesting to listen to and very knowledgeable of the areas we visited.

Mike was an efficient, knowledgeable and interesting tour guide. We got to see 120 miles of the island.

Kimoke’o is an excellent driver, guide, and story teller. He’s well-versed in the local history and beauty and made our tour perfectly enjoyable.

It was a very nice day spent touring the North Shore and Oahu. Value, definitely priced right. Tour guide was knowledgeable and his name is Kimoke’o.

Out trip was amazing. It rained most of one day when we visit Polynesian Cultural Center but the positive attitude of our driver, Kimokeo, and our guide at PCC, Sesi, made the day wonderful. We loved our experience, especially the day we toured Oahu. Thanks!

Lee was a great tour guide. The bus was very nice and all stops were fantastic. It was a rainy day but sun came out every time we stopped. Will recommend tour to fruends

Thoroughly enjoyed our circle island tour of O’ahu where we got to see the majority of the landmarks on my wish list. We were limited on tours to book as we needed accessible transport as my husband cannot walk and I was delighted that this company could offer us this tour. Unfortunately, when the coach arrived to pick us up, the wheelchair lift was not working so we and the other passengers had to wait around an hour for a replacement coach which finally came. The coach we travelled in was one of the large coaches but was only three quarters full. The was a problem with the air con and it was either on full blast or off. The driver was friendly although I felt that he rushed from one place to the next as our tour was behind due to the broken lift in the original coach, but his commentary was good and he pointed out all the land marks. I was a little disappointed that due to the size of the coach that it was unable to stop at any of the beautiful beaches along the north shore with the exception of where we stopped for lunch at Hale’iwa, although this was not on the beach for any photos. This meant that I was only able to take photos as the coach was moving of places such as the Chinamans Hat, Sunset beach, Turtle beach and Pipeline surfing beach. This was a great pity as I was hoping to get some amazing shots of these places. We arrived late at The Dole pineapple plantation, around 4.35 pm and had to be back at the coach to leave at 5.20pm. This meant we were unable to ride the train and the pineapple maze was closing. Gifts in the shop here were excessively expensive obviously a tourist trap. Otherwise I would recommend this trip as it gives the opportunity to see the North Shore which we would not have been able to do without hiring a car.

Wonderful 3 day tour of Oahu! Great bus driver, Kenneth. He was very friendly, informative and made the tours fun!

The guide Chesley was very knowledgeable about the history of the islands. The weather was great so seeing everything was wonderful

Kimokoe'o was a fantastic tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and we loved hearing all about the Island, family and traditions! Loved every minute!

Kimoke’o is the very best tour guide.. very knowledgeable entertaining and very funny. Enjoyed this tour immensely.

Kimoke’o tour was excellent. Loved his mix of humor and sharing his knowledge. Made for a lovely last day in Hawaii.

Terrific tour of Oahu - Kimoke’o is not only knowledgeable but he’s also super funny!

Kimoke’o was amazing!! Very educational.

Kimokeo was incredibly fun to ride along. Gar was good, but fun to go in reverse and hear new stories.

Kimoke'o was a fun tour guide. I enjoyed his humor and knowledge. I highly recommend requesting him as your tour guide

Great tour! Very informative and fun! Our guide was Kimoke

Great experience! Our driver tour guide was awesome!

Awesome tour guide, great information and fun tour.

This was my bucket list trip and tour. I will have grand memories of a lifetime of this tour.

Captain Patrick and his staff were amazing. Highly recommend

We needed something to do after our cruise and before our late flight. This tour was perfect. Kimoke’o was a great tour bus driver and fun tour guide. He was very informative and he has a great sense of humor. We would definitely recommend this tour. Yummy Huli Huli Chicken for lunch was absolutely delicious! One of the best meals we had while on our trip! If you haven’t tried it, you should…you won’t be sorry!

Kimoke’o was an absolutely fantastic guide! He was fun, knowledgeable, and very experienced. He made the entire tour enjoyable and kept us entertained along the way. You could tell he truly knows his stuff and loves what he does. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Kimoke’o to anyone looking for a fun and memorable. The food stop was incredible

Amazing, excellent trip and excellent lunch at Huli huli chicken .

Bus tour driver was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining!

Nothing personal against the tour guide, but this was by far the worst tour we took in Hawaii during our stay. In eight and a half hours, we stopped at just one scenic viewpoint for a quick photo. The rest of the tour consisted almost entirely of stops for souvenirs and poor-quality food. We were also supposed to stop at Diamond Head, but instead we were only shown it through the bus window. An absolutely disgraceful tour that I strongly recommend avoiding. A complete rip-off.

The tour was the perfect way to end our trip to Hawaii. It was great to see more of the island and all the stops were perfect for picture taking and last minute souvenirs. The Huli Huli chicken was perfect for a lunch stop and our tour guide was funny and offered lots of information!

Nice tour. Better than staying at the airport. Great lunch at huli huli chicken, sorry don't remember the name of the restaurant.

Our tour guide, Kimoke'o was terrific. The tour was beautiful, informative and interactive. The huli huli chicken was great. Such a wonderful experience and a beautiful island.

Kimoke’o he was very knowledgeable, and added humor to his tour, loved this tour!

Amazing Circle Island Tour, Ask for Kimoke’o! My wife and I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Polynesian Grand Circle Island Tour in Hawaii! From start to finish, the tour was well worth the money, and a huge part of what made it so enjoyable was our tour guide, Kimoke’o. Kimoke’o’s knowledge of Hawaii, the island, its history, and Hawaiian culture is outstanding. He was incredibly informative, energetic, and engaging throughout the entire tour. You could tell he genuinely loves Hawaii and enjoys sharing its history and culture with visitors. His presentations on the monitors throughout the bus were especially helpful and added a lot to the experience as we traveled from one stop to another. And of course, we have to mention the jokes! They were a little corny… just kidding! Kimoke’o was genuinely funny and kept us entertained throughout the day. His energy and personality made the long tour feel like it went by much faster. The coach bus was another big plus. It was modern, very clean, fresh, and comfortably air-conditioned. The bus was not overcrowded, so we had plenty of room to stretch out and relax in the reclining seats. That made a big difference on a full-day tour. Overall, this was an incredible way to see and learn about Hawaii. We got to experience beautiful scenery while also learning about the history, people, traditions, and culture of the islands. If you’re considering the Polynesian Grand Circle Island Tour, I highly recommend it. And if you can, ask for Kimoke’o, his knowledge, energy, humor, and passion for Hawaii made an already great tour an unforgettable experience! 5 stars all the way! 🌺🌴🤙

Our Tour Guide Driver was Kimoke'o. He made the Hawaiian experience even more special with his knowledge of the island and sincere kindness shown to all passengers.

Excellent tour guide. So knowledgeable, like a professor regarding the information given. Used supporting videos and movie clips that related to topics addressed. Loved the places we visited.

Awesome excursion! Great narration from our guide

The tour was a great choice for us to see a lot the island in a short amount of time . We loved the botanical garden and waterfall!

Wonderful time with kimoke’o!!! He was so fun and had great stories to tell along the way. Would recommend to everyone to go.

Tour took a full day. It gave a good overview of the Island's senic beauty as well as the history of its development.

Our guide, Kimoke’o was excellent, very knowledgeable about Hawai’i history and culture. He also has a great sense of humor. We did three days of an Oah’u Explorer through Norwegian. Day one was Dole Plantation which was basically just a gift shop and snack bar, we did get Dole whip with pineapple which was delicious. We then visited the Polynesian Cultural Center which was very interesting and informative. Day two was Pearl Harbor and Kimo gave us good advice about getting on standby for the USS Arizona Memorial which we did and were able to get to go there. The experience was chilling as the Arizona is a war grave and I was very proud that everyone on our boat was respectful while at the memorial. We also toured the USS Missouri BB-63, the WWII Iowa class battleship where the Japanese signed the unconditional surrender which ended WWII on September 2nd, 1945 in Tokyo Bay. It was sobering to stand on the deck where Adm. Chester Nimitz signed the document. We the went to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum on Ford Island. An excellent aviation museum with an impressive collection. We then returned to the Arizona Visitors Center to tour the USS Bowfin, a Balao class submarine which was commissioned on Dec 7, 1942. We also toured the Pacific Submarine Museum which was excellent as well. Day three was Boyodo-in Buddhist Temple which was beautiful. We the toured Kualoa Ranch which is a private wildlife preserve and working ranch. They also film movies and television shows there and have preserved some of the sets. Overall an excellent value and ask for Kimoke’o if you can.

Kimoke’o was a fantastic driver/tour guide! Very knowledgeable, funny, personable. Thank you for making our three days on Honolulu so enjoyable!

This trip was enjoyable and seamless. Our driver and tour guide, Ken, was knowledgeable and funny. And he could handle that bus in tight situations. We learned a little history and heard some stories about surfing and life in Hawaii. That made the driving time pleasant. Of the stops, the pinnacle was Waimea Valley. Seeing the waterfall was great but the botanical gardens were mind blowing and the curated cultural artifacts were a delight.

We loved our experience with KimoKe’o! He is a very informative guide and kept us entertained with his knowledge and his funny stories! We enjoyed all of our destination spots and we were very comfortable on the bus. Our guide made our day so enjoyable!! Thanks Kimo Ke’o!

Kimoke'o was our guide. He was entertaining and explained a lot of history to us. He kept us laughing and also helped us understand Polynesian culture of Oahu. We saw a lot of great sites, and had a lot of fun.

The bus driver was incredibly entertaining and funny. He shared lots of fun facts about life in Hawaii, which made the tour even more interesting and enjoyable. He was also very friendly, cheerful, and full of energy. The only downside was that I felt there wasn’t enough time to explore the different stops. I would have loved to spend a little more time at each location.

Nice tour of the island, stopping at some interesting places. The guide/driver had great stories, commentary and dad jokes. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without him.

Most talking about the history was so good She has taken the time to learn the history of the island. I just wish as we were going into Waimea valley she had stopped and told a story of it. But she was really into the Edie story so I actually had to ask about where we were

Mo made an it an awesome experience. She was full of knowledge that she shared with us...never a dull moment. Best driver ever.!!!
