Oahu: Grand Tour Around Island With Snorkeling

Jay and Shaun presented the spirit of Aloha in the most genuine and entertaining manner. They’re very kind and considerate of people with disabilities. The extra courtesy I experienced was more than I expected. A true asset to their company’s operations and true ambassadors of the Hawaiian culture. Strongly recommend booking. Mahalo.

I tour guide Jay and Shawn were amazing, insightful and funny! My sister and I had a good time.

What an amazing experience! This 10-hour tour felt so short because every moment was fun, interesting, and full of discoveries. Jay, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! His sense of humor, enthusiasm, and knowledge made the entire journey unforgettable. We visited beautiful beaches, farms, macadamia nut farms, the famous Dole pineapple plantation, coffee spots, and many other wonderful places. We learned so much about Hawaii while having a great time. Jay truly made the difference. He turned a long day into an incredible adventure. Highly recommended! If you’re lucky enough to have Jay as your guide, you’re in for a treat!

All the things are great except picking up as we waited for half an hour it was too long

We got lost going to the wrong hotel and a different bus drivers took us to the right spot. Both the driver Shue and the guide Jay were great!! Very positive vibes! We visited many places, sometimes a bit rushed by that’s how it has to be in order to visit so much!! Fully recommended! Mahalo Jay!

We had an amazing time with Jay & Shaun as our driver and guide!! We came for my moms 72 bday with my 5 brothers, we had such a fun time getting to know history, the whole island! Would definitely do it again!!

Jay and Shawn were great guides and driver. Very interesting and entertaining.

Amazing stops with knowledge of the island. Highly recommend for any first timers without a rental. Thanks to Jay and Shawn

Amazing tour guide Jay was super funny 100% worth the money had an amazing time!

Tour gave a great overview of Oahu. Our guide, Aka, was fantastic, being both interesting and inf.

Good value tour when bought off the street. The website price is more than twice as much. The tour gets you round the island seeing some beautiful beaches and scenery. King Mike safely drove well . Jay was an excellent guide, pointing out the areas of interest, giving relevant information with an element of humour in his presentation to keep us all involved. As with a lot of this type of tour, there were a few stops that were purely commercial stops rather than explaining any processes or manufacturing methods. The snorkeling stop was at lunchtime, which conflicted with being told in the past not to go in the water straight after eating. All in all, a good tour though made better by Jay & Mike

Very entertaining, humourous, fun fact filled trip with Guide Jay and Driver King Mike from Nui Tours. 120 miles round the coastline. Picturesque stops. Shepherding a bus load of pax and staying PROFESSIONAL and composed, and with a great sense of humor, says it all. Really a good appetiser trip to tease out the places you would like to see more on your own. Buy the feed at the Temple to get close to the birds.

Great tour with Jay and King Mike! We got to see a lot in one day! The day was laid back but full of sites. It's nice to sit back and enjoy the ride, thanks to Jay and King Mike! We tried lots of fresh foods and drinks! Bring cash so you don't get credit card upcharges!

Had a ton of fun, ate a lot of good food and snacks! Jay definitely made the trip fun and humorous, and King Mike got us where we needed to go safely! A great couple of guys to shoot around Honolulu with!

Jay and King Mike were great together! We enjoyed all the stops and stories and cultural knowledge! It felt like we were on a food tour also because Jay gave great recommendations for food and drinks. Well run program! We would go again and recommend! Mahalo!

Jay and King Mike were terrific. We learned so much about Hawaii's history and culture, laughed, and got to experience beautiful Oahu in unique locations.

we had a wonderful experience on our guided excursion. The tour was enjoyable, well organized and full of beautiful scenery.

Truly enjoyed island trip with Jay and King Mike. Both of them are quite funny. It was. Day filled with lot of excitement from 7 am till 4 pm and I would say this is one of those must do trip. In one day you can see a lot of the island and the trip is truly worth every penny spent on it.

King Mike and Kay are amazing! We had a blast! 🏝️🌊

Jay and king Mike have been wonderful the whole tour

Fun, I wish the temple was included.

Jay and mike were great to deal with

Even though we had an unexpected vehicle breakdown, our driver and guide had everything as quickly as as was possible , with the safety of all in mind. Both guide and driver were highly entertaining and knowledgeable.

Dylan!! Uncle Neil!! Tour was amazing from pick up to drop off. We enjoyed learning all the knowledge shared. The breakfast and lunch were delicious, and the samples from the stops were great. We definitely have Hawaii in our hearts.

What are great experience. Pickup was on time at stated location. Bus was roomy, clean and comfortable. Driver was smooth and excellent. Out tour guide Dillon was informative, fun and interesting. We had about 40 people and it was very friendly. Well worth the money.

Fun! Love Dylan! Great jokes and He makes it interesting learning about the history of hawaii.

Dylan was a great tour guide, made some awesome lei’s for celebrants (bday, anniversary). Learned a lot on the tour, really nice way to spend a full day seeing more than just waikīkī. Food was also amazing!!

This was our first time in Hawaii and I think this tour is a great opportunity to get a brief overview of things around the island of Oahu. Pickup is easy outside of various hotel areas. Our first stop was at the Amelia Earhart Lookout at Diamond Head. There are some beautiful views there- you will go and take pictures or look at said views. We then visited Halona Blowhole. I have heard from other family members that you can't always see the blowhole, but we were able to. It's pretty cool. We then passed by Sandy Beach and Makapu'u Beach and stopped in Waimanalo. Here you can get some breakfast that the tour guide orders for you beforehand and you just pay when you pick it up. They give out a menu on the bus and you can write down which thing you want to order. You can also go shopping at the gift shop next to the restaurant or the fruit stand across the street. We then stopped at Mokoli'i (Chinaman Hat) for a bit to take pictures before stopping in North Shore for snorkeling. The snorkeling has no life jackets or any of the safety measures for beginners so I would not recommend doing this if you are not a good swimmer. Across from the beach, there is a food truck that you can order lunch at that has really good garlic shrimp (the tour guide will pass out a menu on the bus just like breakfast). After lunch, we went to Pua'ena Point Beach Park (the road was closed due to an accident so we had to detour and cut some places out). At Pua'ena, you can see turtles swimming from the shore and it's pretty cool. We then went to the North Shore Macadamia Nut Company where you can sample all the nuts and coffee they sell. Seriously all so good! You may even get to try some banana ice cream and fresh fruit if the fruit stand across the street is open. Next we went to the Dole Plantation, which you don't get much time there other than to order a Dole Whip, eat it, and leave. But there is a ton of really cool pineapple flavored foods there. Our final stop was the Green World Coffee Farms. You can sample some of the coffees there, as well as walk through the trees the beans grow on. It's pretty cool to see in real life if you are a coffee lover. This tour definitely takes all day but I think it is worth it to go on at least once because you see so much beauty in nature, as well as experience a lot of the farms. The tour guides are great at explaining the history and significance of each area too. I believe our tour guide was named Dylan and he was fantastic!

It was the highlight of my trip

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Jay was very knowledgeable and gave us all the place that are worth seeing and some to avoid. Uncle Neal kept us all safe with his bus driving. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time, our guide is Jay , and the driver is Neal. Definitely book with them, great personality and humour. You get a great tour for the price. We started at 7:00 am to about 4 pm. Covered a lot of major places and great food stops. Due to weather we didn’t go snorkelling but I imagine it would’ve been great with the snorkelling as well. Overall we had a great time and would do it again!

Wish we could have done snorkeling but understand due to weather, water was brown and not safe. Other than that tour is great! And we appreciate some insights around the areas. Friendly stuffs. Highly recommended especially for first time visitors.

Jay was a great tour guide! He was fun and funny, and he took it well when folks on the bus didn't love or understand his jokes, hehe. Neal was a great bus driver, as well. Jay was very knowledgeable and helpful. He made the ride and history entertaining! The stops along the trip were lovely. Scenic, beautiful and while they were a bunch of other tours, it waaslbt too too crowded. My 3 bummed parts were: The weather made it so we couldn't snorkel. That is uncontrollable, though, so it's ok. The other is we had to pay to get into the Buddhist Temple. It was only $10, but I wish it was just built into the tour cost, rather than an extra cost. Finally, I would have preferred more time at the Dole Pineapple Farm and the Coffee Farm. I'd have like more time to explore, but I understand its already a long day, so the stops are quite quick.
