A Day in Oahu - We loved our tour around Oahu. It was a small group that made it easy to get around the island. The stops were all beautiful and gave us a great experience outside the city of Honolulu. There was plenty of time allowed at each stop to take pictures or buy some great memories of Oahu. The lunch stop at the food trucks was one of the best meals we had on the island. Still craving the grilled shrimp and grilled salmon. We loved the stop at the Buddhist Temple which included a peaceful time to reflect and absorb the beauty of Hawaii. Our tour guide was wonderful and provided us with great history and information. He made us feel very welcome. The tour was the perfect amount of time to get around and see all the natural beauty of Oahu.

Glad We Went - This tour is a great way to experience the breathtakingly beautiful vistas around the island. LT was the driver, and texted us the morning of the trip to help with pickup location. He was a wealth of information about the island and its history, making the journey both enjoyable and enlightening. Several nice stops allowed time to purchase refreshments and shop a little at the Macadamia Nut Farm, Dole Plantation, and lunch at the expansive food truck location. We're only on Oahu three days, and this tour enabled an overview of the picturesque island.

Fabulous Chauncey - Chauncey was our tour guide and we are so glad we had him! He was very knowledgeable and personable, sharing many stories and giving us insight into Hawaii and its beautiful people! The stops were amazing: Pearl Harbor, The Dole Plantation, Kahuku Sugar Mill food trucks, macadamia nut farm and Nu’ uanu Pali Lookout. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tour!

Disappointing tour. - While we saw a few things around the island, most stops on the tour were not made. No stops at the following itinerary stops--Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay Preserve, Makapu'U Point (no mention at all), Tropical Farms Macadamia Nut (no mention at all), Kuala Regional Park, Hakilau Market, North shore stops, and King statue (no mention). So I believe we made 4 out of 12 scheduled stops. We were 30 minutes late leaving and then had to make another stop because people were on the wrong tour due to mixup with company. Picture opportunities were very limited. I would not recommend spending this much money on such a skimpy tour. Tour time was probably closer to 5-6 hours than 9 hours. We could have hired a driver on our own.

Unprofessional tour operator and sassy tour guide - The experience was quite negative. Pearl Harbor Tour and the tour guide were extremely unprofessional. The evening before the tour, several guests, including me, received two texts of two different pickup locations. Another guest and I both replied to ask for confirmation but there's no response at all. I followed up the next morning at the pickup hotel via text, and finally got a call from Kenny, the tour guide. The first half of the morning was fine, until later on the bus, Kenny asked if anyone needed to be back in Waikiki at a certain time. Two couples mentioned that they'd have to be back by 3:30pm and 4pm for luau pickup, which perplexed the entire bus of guests because the scheduled return was around 5pm. I privately asked Kenny if we'd skip parts of the tour and he said no and that he'd just go to any off-the-beaten-path destinations that tour guides sometimes make. Nonetheless, that's not the case. We were not given enough time at various stops in the rest of the day. And there's absolutely no stopping in North Shore. It's just a drive-through, while the itinerary lists several stops in that region. When arriving at Dole Plantation, Kenny said there's only 15 minutes allotted when the itinerary states 30 minutes. Another couple was not happy about the shortened time, but Kenny said he usually gave 20 minutes at this attraction. The couple walked off the bus but that agitated Kenny, and he chased them for an argument. The couple kept walking, and I heard clearly that Kenny said: "Don't you disrespect me like that. I will just leave you here." Later when we arrived at the second hotel drop-off point, I noticed a $20 bill in the trash and told Kenny. He said not to pick it up. I suspect that's the tip that the couple left him. Lastly, Kenny sped on the highway, endangering the safety of everyone, trying to return to Waikki before 3:30pm. I, and I am sure along with the other guests, wondered how those two couples booked separate tours that cut into this day tour, when Viator or the official tour company website clearly spell out the end time. How could this tour operator permit this behavior, affecting the rights of the other guests? Why would everyone else need to compromise for four people who could not read the itinerary? And this tour operator furthered enabled the tour guide to cut the trip short. Those four people should've gotten their own transportation back to Waikiki, just like on the cruise ship, if someone missed the pickup time at a port, that person would be responsible for their own transportation back to the ship. Additionally, there's not even a single apology from those four morons nor Kenny. I already put the tour fee in dispute with my credit card company and informed Viator because this tour operator did not fulfill the service purchased. This company should give a partial refund to every guest on this tour, except for the four people who stupidly booked luau that affected the entire group.
