Best Island Tour Experience - Lucas, the MAGNIFICENT, was so amazing, funny, witty, extremely entertaining as well as knowledgeable as he guided us around the island for a full day of delight! Daniel, GREAT choice in adding Lucas to your squad of trusted tour/concierges! I highly recommend this tour service. The lunch location was EVERYTHING! I was anxious to book another tour but was able because of scheduling. Daniel & Lucas, will provide the type of service that will make you know they appreciate your business. Highly, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great tour of the island! - The highlight of the tour was seeing sea turtles! Tyler was our driver and shared a lot of great info about the island. It is a lot of driving, but it takes awhile to go around the island. Beautiful stopping points with great views. Would recommend if you want to see a lot of different things in 1 day.

Great tour of the island - Great tour with Tyler. Only 6 people on the tour so it was nice, and questions were able to be asked / answered. Tyler was very informative and knew a lot about the island, culture, flowers, trees, wildlife and the surf scene. Highly recommended

Perfect day for a drive - Our guide, Lucas, was engaging and accommodating. The van was comfortable, but a little high off the ground for older folks. I did not ask for a stepping stool, which he may have had available if I had only asked. Overall, it was an excellent experience!

Pleasant introductory tour to Oahu - A decent, general introduction to Oahu. Stops at various beaches for views and got to see some turtles. None of the stops last very long, little walking required. The views are beautiful and we didn't have to do the driving. It would have been nice to get some more historical details.

A Little Disappointed - Our tour bus was an hour late picking us up so we didn’t get to see everything we were supposed to see. Our tour guide has only lived here for two years, so she wasn’t as knowledgeable as guides that I’ve had in the past who are island natives. She did try very hard to please us, but it just didn’t quite meet my expectations.

Waste of money - Misleading - Your description totally misleading, this tour got move 3 times as they supposedly didn’t have enough numbers.
You DO NOT get to go to Turtle beach which is one of the main reasons we booked this tour!
When I emailed the tour company they just said the T&C,s say it might not happen… There is NO wording on the tour to suggest this wouldn’t happen and I had a really disappointed daughter. The company were really not interested and to be honest the tour is definitely not worth the $318 we paid for it!
The only positive was Lucas the tour guide who cannot fault! There are plenty of other companies offering this tour cheaper on the Island!!

Terrible - We were never picked up from the collection point - we waited for an hour at the right place. We could not contact the operator by telephone and numerous calls were made to him. Perhaps it would be preferable to phone the day before to check all is good - however we trusted the provider and expected he would honour his agreement.
