As these materials settled, they cemented together into a rock called tuff, creating the crater.

Learn about some of the history of these beautiful homes surrounding this impressive landmark. (No strenuous summit hike.)

Amazing tour! - This was a wonderful tour! Dominik was crazy knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and gave us so much information throughout our journey. It was a wonderful mix of culture, history and beautiful stops along the way. I would recommend this tour to anyone that wanted to see the island and learn about the history of Hawaii.

Do not miss this tour! - There are lot of these types of tours in Oahu, and I'm glad this is the one we ended up picking. Our guide Dominic was so amazing - he had so much knowledge of not only the places we stopped at and were driving by, but the Hawaiian history he shared with us was all really interesting. There was only one other couple on the tour with us so it felt very exclusive and personal. We were given a reasonable amount of time at each stop, it never felt like too much or too little. He had recommendations at each place that we were left on our own to explore. We even met a local artist at the food truck stop on the north shore that he knew and we purchased some art from. Plenty of places to buy souvenirs, and we saw a wide variety of things and were never bored. Can't recommend this tour enough!

Engaging and Informative Experience - Our tour guide Dominik was excellent and engaged well with all his passengers. During our trip around the island we learned both about all noteworthy sights we were passing on the Island Circle Tour, and about the history of the Hawaiian islands from the presumed first settlers from the Marquesas to the present day.

Small group tour is the way to go - Very solid overview experience of Oahu. The driver/guide was entertaining and well versed in history and lore. Could have used less time at photo-op stops and more time at Kualoa Ranch so we could walk a little more. Q&A was easy with small group.

10/10 tour! - We had a great time with our guide, Katie. She timed everything well (and while we would have loved extra time in some places, we understood that we had to rush if we wanted to see all there was to see). It was the perfect amount of time to see the highlights.

Must do on the Island - A great day trip to go around the island. A lot of stops along the way if you do not have a vichle or do not wish to drive. That meant time is restricted to tour schedule as I felt some stops could stay a bit longer.
