Oahu Ultimate Circle Island Tour Full Day Experience

The tour was great! It circled around the top hotspots of Oahu. Our guide Johnny was very personable and informative! He taught us alot of information on our tour and made it fun and interactive! If you’re lucky enough to get Johnny, you won’t be disappointed. Just a heads up though there is alot of shopping/food stops on this tour.So you will be eating all day if you chose to participate! The Tanaka Shrimp place was super delicious! Got the Spicy Garlic Shrimp and I do recommend! Make sure to bring cash for a smoother experience! FYI the Macadamia Nut Farm and Dole Plantation stops are strictly gift shop with about 30 min to shop. So if you’re expecting entrance to these you may be disappointed. The guide also made an alternative for people who did not want to go to the Turtle Beach to swim so I thought that was very nice of him to do! Overall I am pleased with my experience and would recommend if you don’t have a vehicle and want to explore other sites of the island in a short period of time!

Speaker system on van was outdated and you couldn't hear guide. The. Got dropped off at wrong hotel and they canceled my reservation to luau and I have yet to hear from anyone about it or receive refund. I call them and leave messages and no one ever returns my call

Booked their round-the-island tour that they advertise in the free brochures at half the price (reality is you can get the same tour for the same price from many companies). Well, lunch costs an extra 20 USD. The guy skipped the temple and a few other stops. But they stop at a boring café with a bakery for almost 1 hour where they sell Berliners (they sell them as something Portuguese). Was pretty annoyed by the driver who was the guide at the same time. He repeated each story at least 3-4 times, and when it came to details of the attack on Pearl Harbor, at least 5-6 times. Was glad when it was over. Was also a very old and slow bus, very strange. Overall, not a super pleasant tour. Why did he not put on some nice music?

Everything was great!!! We used a promo code so we had an offer from $105 to $50 each. Length: 07:30 to 17:30 Spectacular sightseeings!!!

Good tour of Oahu HI. Very good tour guide and very knowledgeable. However the vehicle need much improvement. Seat worn and arm rests had duct tape several of the seats. Suggest replacing the van with a newer model.

This was the worst tour we have ever been Left 1 hour late. Was a different itinerary that we purchased. Did not stop at all the locations in the itinerary. Was more interested in taking us to places they got kickbacks

Best on the island! Guide did a great job- so much to see on this tour!

This was such a fun tour!!! Our guide made the tour amazing, at first I thought it was going to be for kids but it turns out that it is more for adults.

Had a blast with Johnny Cage as the driver. Very entertaining. Once tour was underway all went smoothly. Initially was to be picked up at a hotel close to HaleKoa but the driver (not Johnny who became our driver/ tour guide) basically stopped 30 sec then left us so owner sent someone to pick us up in their personal car as we were walking to next stop. He was great and delivered us to stop where we loaded. I highly recommend this tour and there are frequent coupons so ask!! I have taken a circle tour once before but e joked this one 100% more!!

Do not book this! The guide was great . However when it says macadamia nut farm and coffee farm it is just a stand to buy stuff! The lighthouse was a drive by on the highway a mile away. When it was time to stop for lunch it was at a shrimp stand where there was no other places to eat. We never got to swim or snorkel. Definitely not worth what we paid!

A great day with a wonderful driver, Matt.

I will start by saying our driver was the saving grace. He was funny, kind, and patient. He gave the trip all the "stuff" it lacked!!! This is a tourist trap company for sure, they haul people all around but the quality is just nit there. The BIGGEST disappointment and the entire reason we booked was to snorkel with turtles for an hr. This is a catfish scam, the tour is not prepared for that at all, no where did they have the equipment for it. The location was definitely not where anyone would go to even attempt that. Yet, it was painted as if it was and we just had bad luck with extremely dirty/brown water. The.one hr that was intended for this activity on the itinerary was cut to 20 minutes because - who wants to look at brown water with rocks. The tour still took all the time it was advertised for but only because we added all these little stops that were never even on the itinerary. Would I book again - NO. Did I get the money's worth out of it- SURE, but would i recommend it to someone else....probably no because I cannot guarantee they would have the same luck as we did with out sweet driver!!!!!

It started off strange, when we were taken to another bus and joined there group. The tour guide said that they were all affiliated and that they absorbed our bus group. We proceeded and it seemed like a regular tour at first with the driver explaining where we were going and what we were seeing. That stopped quickly after we went through the area with celebrities houses and after our first tourist trap. Then our driver seemed to be in a rush and began to not talk and explain anything except next destination. He started driving irrationally and passing on a blind turn with a double yellow line and had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting into another car. When we stopped at the fruit stand he told everyone that we had to go only to the fruit stand he told us to go and we couldn’t even look at the others next to it. This is where I watched him stick two $10 banana breads into his board shorts and take them back to the bus where he put them into his bag. He then went back and did it again with fruit, as much as he could fit. He did this about 5 times. Then we proceeded where he left out 7 of our destinations, one being turtle beach, the only reason we went on this trip. We continued and made a few more stops. Passed Pearl Harbor where he didn’t even mention it. This is where the driver got real bad. He made one stop at the beginning of Waikiki beach and the went to the middle and stopped and told us all to get off. This was about 3 miles from our hotel and where we were picked up. Drop off was supposed to be the same. He began to swear and told us that it was our problem. Then told us to bad and to get off the bus in an extremely unacceptable manor. Very unfortunate and a disgrace to the island and its people.

Tour guide was fantastic, very informative and fun to be with for a day. We got to see the whole island from a locals eye.

Great tour of the North Shore! The experience was great with many attractions, Turtle beach, Dole plantation, Waimea Bay just to name a few. Our tour guide Johnny Cage did a exceptional job making everyone welcome and having a laugh along the way. Great value for money.

Rob C was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and entertained us the WHOLE day. Worthwhile venture to check out just about the whole island but definately all the worthwhile highlights of Oahu. Recommended 😀😀😀

Although our departure was delayed a little, the information did say to allow 15 minutes for variation so it wasn’t a problem.Rob C our driver was fantastic. Good fun, lots of information about Hawaii’s history, local knowledge was great. Even pointing out homes owned by notable people either currently or passed. It was amazing to see the different land formations on the island. Every capital city has tall buildings busy streets but getting out into the country and seeing all of it, pineapples, macadamias (originally from Australia of course) and the shrimp shop, it was delicious. Pineapple ice cream is an absolute must. Thank you Rob C for a fun day. PS. We liked that we didn’t have long stops with pressure selling. The water was too murky for swimming sadly.

Johnny was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun. He was very funny, loved his laugh and went above and beyond. Rozell me picked me up from a pickup spot and despite being a few minutes late he was very accommodating and understanding. Thank you all for this experience for this first timer!

Rob was a wonderful tour guide. Showed us the island with lots of stops. Great stories, made the experience interactive and fun. Mahalo

Johnny was outstanding. We got to see allot more than I expected. Johnny was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. He treats everyone like a family.

What an amazing day, even in the rain. Johnny Cage is the best tour guide we have ever had. He pointed out all the highlights and included humor along with a musical flare. The personalized of the Playlist on the ride back was one of the best touches!!!

I had a tour scheduled on a Thursday. My return date ended up changing so I reached out on Monday by email to cancel my reservation, and got no response. So I called on Tuesday and no one answered, so I left a message for a call back. There’s also a chat/text option that I used on Tuesday and still received no response. I called again on Wednesday and never heard back. Their website says refunds are available up to 24 hours before but that’s not true. It’s impossible to get ahold of anyone.

Great day !!! Very knowledgeable guide (Johnny) with AllStar

Great trip around island. Loved our tour guide Johnny. He is like a walking encyclopedia ❤️

Our tour guide Johnny is a local Hawaiian and was very knowledgeable about not just Oahu but many interesting global facts. The mix in the tour bus was from numerous US states, China, Finland and Australia and everyone mixed in well. The tour covered many of the Oahu highlights. The shrimp lunch was excellent (not included but good value at $20). We had a very memorable day.

No show in meeting place!!! not a good tour company! Keep calling their number but only automated machine, not a real person. left a message 20x no call back.

There were about 15 passengers, from older to young, from the main land, Australia and Singapore on our tour. At the beginning we were all strangers but throughout the 8 hr tour, Johnny, our tour guide and driver, kept us entertained with music, puns and information about the various places we visited. By the end of the tour we were all friends. Great tour experience from turtle island to Dole plantation. Highly recommend Johnny’s tour.

Pur guide, Mua, was knowledgeable and funny. He did repeat several lines a few too many times. Other than that, he was a joy to have as our guide. The air conditioning in the tour bus was insufficient. 24 people on and off the bus and being miserably hot while enroute was not pleasant. The tour stops were good but a few were a bit too long. Overall, we had a pleasant day and learned more about Oahu.

Great tour guide! Great educational experience, longer than expected but worth it got to see many beautiful sceneries.

Rob was great kept us entertained and informed us of a lot of history and culture with a lot of fun pit stops and great souvenirs

Rob C was an amazing tour guide! I would highly recommend him for sure! Made me feel really welcomed in the hawaii sport and learning things about hawaii i didn’t know about! He was also funny and had everyone participating!

Johnny was an amazing tour guide filled with fun facts and trivia. He was very patient with the folks who forgot their items or were late to the pre-arranged time. I would take another tour with Johnny!

We had a beautiful time. We visited many places, and our tour guide was very kind and made the trip very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour with this company—great prices and very punctual in everything. My family and I had a very good experience.

A good trip very knowledgeable guide.

We had an informative full day tour with Johnny. We made many stops and the guide shared many facts about the island. The pick up was a bit chaotic, but the rest of the tour was smooth. Great value for the full day tour.

Johnny our guide was great, very informative and interactive with all. Johnny was one of the best guides I have had on my travels.

Rob is an exceptional driver and tour guide! If I ever come back to Hawaii, I would definitely book another tour and would love for Rob to take me around again. He is such a kind, warm, gentle, passionate, and genuinely heartfelt person. He treats everyone on his tour with 100% respect and makes you feel welcomed, comfortable, and valued from beginning to end. Rob truly goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a wonderful experience. He is an amazing representative of Hawaii and deserves a BIG, BIG raise! 🌺❤️ Thank you, Rob, for making my experience so memorable. I hope I get the opportunity to tour with you again! Marlene

Truly the best decision we could have made for our mother/son trip. Rob is simply the best. Super personable and knowledgeable and made us all feel like one big ‘ohana by the end of the day! Super worth the money.

Great driver/host very funny and informative and a tremendous amount of history knowledge I would recommend the store for anybody

Awesome experience! Our guide Mio was fabulous and was so knowledgeable. We loved every place we stopped, great way to see the island!

This tour was both fun and educational. Our guide, Rob Chapman, was amazing he created such a welcoming atmosphere that everyone felt included. Since it’s an all-day event, you get to explore a lot of Hawaii, enjoy good food, and while you might get tired at some point, Rob kept the energy up with his jokes, cool facts, and charismatic personality. Bring cash some stops don’t accept cards and for tipping. I’d highly recommend it.

Out guide Johnny was very organized, informative. He keep everyone entertained with trivia and relevant information about the placea we stopwd and visited. Taught us 7 hawaian words.

So awesome to see different points around the island of Oahu. Beautiful views the entire day! Our guide, Aunt Kelly, was terrific and was very knowledgeable.

I can't recommend this tour. I wanted to go to turtle beach and snorkel. The company did not let anyone know that was not possible due to murky water. The driver/guide kept hinting about murky water but did not come out straight and tell us, until I specifically asked him about that part of the tour. Additionally my husband walks with a cane, and has trouble with long distances. We were picked up where they said to be then driven to another area and told we were getting off this bus and getting on another. He had to walk about 2 blocks and get on an already filled up bus, no space up front. 2 people had their belongings on adjacent seats. I sat beside my husband on a seat that had two holes and exposed metal. I hurt sitting on the aisle seat. The AC did not work and the driver/guide did not have his mike on most of the time. When we talked to the driver about the seat issue he said, "maybe you could ask someone to move their stuff and sit beside them. It wasn't his bus. Tell the owner. " This is not acceptable. I honestly can't say I enjoyed this tour.

Nothing about this trip was easy, the day before our trip I still had not received an email about the time or location. When we first registered it said I would be picked up at my location but that was not the case. I had to reach out to your chatbot to have them send me the directions. We had to make our way to another hotel then were transported to another area where we walked two blocks which was difficult with a handicap person and then put on another bus. We had a handicap person and nothing was done to accommodate him. His wife had to sit in a seat that had a bar sticking out of it for the entire ride out. On the way back I informed the driver of the situation.The drive told them to see if someone on the bus was willing to give up their seat. He would not handle it it was up to them. His comment was this is not my bus you will have to reach out to the company with any complaints. As a tour guide he was repetitive and often spoke without the microphone on and no one could hear him. The expectation was we were to get into the water at the beach and it never happened. We spent more time on the bus and stops were mainly for snacks. It felt less like a tour than an extended excursion. We were taken to a place called turtle beach and all we saw were chickens.

Our tour guide for the island tour was Johnny, what a character. Very knowledgeable about Hawaiian and international history was outstanding. His Great sense of humour kept everyone entertained. Highly recommend spending the day with Johnny. Even learned some Hawaiian lingo

The tour started off strong with helpful information, good food stops, and adequate bathroom breaks. We were informed during the trip that rain causes mountain runoff that makes the beaches brown and unclear. Unfortunately, the main stop of the tour landed us at Haleʻiwa Beach Park which was a major letdown. The beach was brown, rocky, and uninviting, with only a few riders willing to get in. We should have been offered an alternative or extended time at other scheduled stops instead of ending the tour at a beach that wasn’t worth visiting. This makes the tour a low -1. This was an hour of wasted time!

This is a great tour and the driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. My complaint is about the bus. My husband and I were at the last pick up stop. So, we get on the bus and the only seats are at the back of the bus on the hump. It was pure misery for a sixty year old. My knees began to hurt about two hours into the tour and the bus was hot. I guessed the fact that we were at the back didn't help the air situation. I think the seats in the back should be for children not adults and thus sold and reserved for children.

Excellent all day tour of good part of the island. The tour guide Johnny was outstanding and like an encyclopedia! Well worth the money and a fraction of what the cruise line would charge.
