Small group experience - It was a very small group of 5 of us. The pace was very relaxed. The driver was interesting. I think one stop was not on the list. He said that there were sea turtles. It was great. He was right. There were sea turtles. I could only spot the head but it was wonderful.

Awesome, highly recommend! - Our tour was great, the tour guide was local and knew everything there is to know about the island. I highly recommend! It was a small group tour and you could openly ask questions throughout the tour.

I appreciate that our... - I appreciate that our driver was knowledgeable, kind, and intended to show us his idea of the best of the island. However, I was disappointed that we deviated from the itinerary that I signed up for. If you choose this tour, you may wish to confirm prior to departure that you will be taken to all of the stops that are listed.

Small group, great guide! - Picked up from our hotel on time and had a small group in the van (7 of us total). Alan was a great guide and even though we had a quiet group, he kept right on giving us the information and kept us on schedule. We didn’t want to spend the entire day on a tour so this was the perfect amount of time. It was raining most of our tour (a light drizzle) which ended up being great for us because none of the stops were crowded including the North Shore food trucks!

Best to leave the driving to the locals and more time to take in the views - Great time. Guide was very informative with local knowledge. Small group was beneficial. Great sites to see and plenty of time to view them all because I wasn’t driving.

Oahu Island tour - Great trip around the Island, much better than driving yourself. Our driver even made an unscheduled stop and found us some turtles in Haleiwa.

Ok tour if you like sitting in a car - Tour was very slow and didn’t cover as much culture as we would have liked. Had a lot of stops very early then few the rest of the way. Great if you don’t want to move around much and enjoy being in a car all day. Would recommend just renting a car and doing it on your own instead. Cheaper and you get to decide where you spend your time.

Unenthusiastic - Our guide was completely unenthusiastic and treated the island’s most impressive features, like the mountain ranges, as if they were nothing. There was almost no explanation or storytelling about the landscape or history – just plain boring introduction of what's in the area. And constantly asking at most of the check points if people “wanted to stop for photos,” which meant the experience was driven by whoever in the group shouted first. Unsurprisingly, most participants weren’t interested, so we ended up skipping Koalou mountain scenery, turtle beach, and Haleiwa because of that. This question should never have been brought up by any tour guide.
