Oahu Hidden Gems tour - We had a wonderful time with you your guide Rob. He had a wealth of knowledge to share about the island and made the tour enjoyable. He kept us entertained while sharing about the history of every gem we visited. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a one stop shop to tour the island and its beauty.

Great way to get to know O'ahu - Amazing experience! We scheduled this tour at the beginning of our trip to see the island and find what we would want to go back to. We ended up learning so much about the island - history, things to do, places to eat - we gained much more than we anticipated. Paul was a great tour guide and kept everyone on time and engaged sharing stories and fun facts the whole day.

We were wanting to see... - We were wanting to see different parts of Oahu & this didn't disappoint! We had plenty of time to stretch our legs and get pictures at each site. Ian, our guide, was knowledgeable and personable, and we were so lucky to have him!

A relaxing, fun day! - ! I cannot speak highly enough of this dynamic duo and how much fun my trip on the hidden gems of Oahu tour was. RJ was extremely helpful and patient as I experienced a bit of confusion with my ticket. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny and Shaun expertly navigated us through our tour. RJ’s recommendations were all very connected to culture and wise! If I could do it again, I would do this tour early on in the trip to learn about all the spots to hit and then map out must see spots from there.

Good tour to see Ohau - We had a great Guide, Erika. Tour was great seeing all parts of Ohau but last stop Dole Plantation was very disappointing. Just 20 min stop to see the Gift shop only. But otherwise tour was good

Great driver, great scenery. - Our driver/guide was amazing. He was helpful, informative and just an all around great guy. Thanks Tim!! The stops were not all what we expected. Dole plantation probably the biggest disappointment, totally commercialized, waste of time. Scenic stops were wonderful. Pounder's Huli Huli Chicken is a must have.

Ok, but somewhat disappointing - The stops were pretty good. The videos in the van, completing with unruly and loud children and the guide talking over it all were overwhelming. Don’t be fooled by the description saying your lunch stop is the Famous Shrimp Farm. It isn’t. It’s an odd restaurant at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I chose the tour because it DIDN’T stop at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We’ve traveled elsewhere in Polynesia. We wanted local. The Dole Plantation is OK. You won’t spend much time there. The Dole Whip is great. The Byodo Temple is gorgeous. There’s a lot crammed into this loop tour. It was kind of chaotic, but it gave an overview of the island and I didn’t want to drive. We also did a reverse itinerary. That was probably a positive to beat crowds, but it meant ice cream at 10:00AM. Overall, the tour was decent, but there was substantial room for improvement. Ask the folks that didn’t get picked up and we went back to get after the first stop. This is the first Viator tour I’ve given less than four stars.

Mixed: enjoyable sights but shortened stops, delays and safety concerns - The tour started late, lasted way less than advertised 8 hours and had shorter stop times than advertised. Stops felt rushed, and we were often left to explore on our own without guidance to point out important details thus, missing key details. The Dole Plantation visit was limited to the gift shop to purchase souvenir and dessert,with no access to the train or maze (short stop). Additionally, there was a safety concern when the bus swerved to avoid a car stopped at a red light and ran the red light after swerving. It raised concerns about level of attention given to passenger safety. While the guide was friendly and lunch was OK, the experience could have been better to justify the cost.
