Perfect tour - Alan our guide was great! Starting rhe day off early with the Diamond Head hike was absolutely perfect. We went as a family of 10 and had the van all to ourselves. The duration at each stop was sufficient for photos.

Great tour and a great guide - Waking up early in the morning for the Diamond Head hiking to be there at the sunrise is the greatest way to accomplish this touristic point. For the rest of the tour, our guide was great at pointing out interesting facts and different stories about the places that we visited. He had great suggestions regarding the place where we lunched and what to do or not do during our tour. This was an amazing experience and I recommend it with all my heart!

An amazing tour you shouldn’t miss - Amazing tour! Our guide Stephanie was very knowledgeable and took us to all the major sites and a few extra stops as well to see the beauty of Oahu. We enjoyed that it is a small group tour so didn’t feel packed in like sardines. We started with the Diamond Head hike which was amazing! It does make for a long day (completely worth it) so be prepared. We especially loved the north shore and getting out of the city. Thank you again to Stephanie for a great day out!!

Amazing! - A long day…be rested but well exceeded our expectations. Our host Stephanie was exceptional and made the day a lot of fun. She worked with the group and what we wanted to see and do! She was very knowledgeable and we learned a ton. I wish we did this tour on our first day to help plan the rest of the week.

It became a lifelong memory☺️ - I was very satisfied with the tour that Jonah, who is kind and fluent in Japanese, took me to a sightseeing course that I would not have been able to go on my own! He was always giving me various information about Hawaii along the way, and the 11 hours went by in a flash. I don't want to make a mistake on my trip to Hawaii! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to travel around northern and eastern Hawaii with a local guide 👌

Great way to see Oahu! - The sunrise hike up Diamond Head was well worth it. It was great to see so much of the island. Each area of the island is so diverse and I especially loved the North Shore.

Long day, some great, some not so great - Diamond Head = 10. South beaches = 8. Food trucks = 0. Mush food, long lines, roosters, flies and wasps competing for our food. North shore beaches = 5, would have been 9 or 10 with more time. Macadamia nut, fruit stand and Dole = 1. This time would have been better spent on north beaches.
