A beautiful tour of the island with an expert guide. - The tour started in waikiki and traveled around the east side of O'ahu, to the north shore, and back through the center of the island. Along the way, Gregory (our guide) provided detailed explanations of everything we were seeing (all the trees, flowers, birds, and mountains), plus geologic descriptions of how the islands were formed and changed over thousands of years, AND included the history of the island (from King Kamehamea, his families, surfing, the wars, and the legendary Duke Paoa Kahanamoku). We also stopped for delicious, authentic Hawaiian food and coffees throughout the day. Buy the macadamia nuts - they're amazing. Loved the tour and Gregory's expansive knowledge of everything Hawaiian. [He's also great at taking photos!] Definitely worth the money.

A great and recommended experience - We had booked this tour as a private tour. The tour was very interesting and gave us an excellent overview of Oahu, not least by our extremely friendly and warm guide! 😀Thank you again! We can recommend this tour to anyone. Due to this great experience we booked a small group trip to Pearl Harbor and cancelled our original booking through Get your Guide. Franka and Ralf

Unfortunately, we were... - Unfortunately, we were disappointed just hurried to drive past the best of Oahu.Of 2 included admission prices we did not see anything.Also one included water bottle per person we did not get.Instead we were unloaded at tourist sales traps. The launch was not taken in the restaurant, but at a snack bar in a plastic Elnweg box at very overpriced prices. The tour guide was informative, but vehemently pointed out her tip. Even a percentage calculation was not spared. We would not recommend this trip.

Bad tour of Oahu - The bus was way too crowded with 14 people. There were four of us in the back, it was way too tight and the body for wheels meant the legs had no room either. A bus ride for 2.5€ by public transport would have been much better. Because we didn't have a guide but only a bus driver who didn't explain anything and just abandoned us at the stops! This was the worst trip we have made on holiday so far! For over $100 you can expect more than a bad bus ride across the island.
