Great Private Circle Island Tour on Oahu! - We enjoyed a fantastic private island tour on Saturday November 1st. Pick up at our hotel was on time with warm Malasadas waiting for us! After getting to know us a bit, JK planned out a day packed with various excursions including several beaches to take a swim in and some to view the powerful waves the north shore is known for, a coffee and chocolate experience, food truck lunch (excellent pizza!) and even a rum tasting! This 8 hour tour for the 4 of us was very comparable in price to a group tour yet every stop was specific to what we were interested in doing. Thanks JK for sharing your Hawaiian/Oahu knowledge with us along the way.

Private Island Perfection: Relaxed, Fun, and Full of Aloha - Our family had an incredible experience on our private island tour with Ryan. His “tour guide magic” really showed throughout the day — nothing was too much trouble. Whether it was holding a coffee, helping us collect souvenir pins, or recommending the perfect spot for lunch, Ryan was always one step ahead and made everything effortless.
As a family with two young kids (3 & 7), we knew a group tour would feel too rushed, but this private experience was absolutely perfect. We could explore at our own pace and truly take in the island’s beauty. Ryan and the team are fantastic advocates for Hawaii — their passion for the island and its culture shines through in everything they do.
From start to finish, the whole process was seamless. We can’t recommend this experience highly enough. It was the perfect way to see Hawaii!

Amazing tour - We had a fabulous private tour with Ryan today. My family with two young boys absolutely loved our experience. We had some hikes beach in time shopping, but we loved his input and island history the most. Thank you for making our vacation memorable!

The Best Day of Our Trip, Thanks to JK - What an unbelievable experience! JK and Kia picked us up at our hotel at 830AM and the rest was history JK was incredibly knowledgeable, gracious, and funny, and he brought the whole day to life and made every stop feel special.
We started at a coffee farm where we learned the process and enjoyed some of the freshest coffee you’ll ever taste. Lunch was at local food trucks, and honestly, it was some of the best food I’ve ever had. The day just kept getting better: beautiful private beaches where sea turtles were swimming, moments of complete serenity, and the kind of views you only dream about. We even cooled off with the perfect shaved ice, which hit the spot after all the exploring.
Every detail was thoughtful, the pace was relaxed, and JK made sure the whole experience was both fun and memorable. It was a wonderful day from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Private tour with Aunty Kelly - Aunt Kelly was our private tour guide and she became part of our family. She is very knowledgeable, fun and kind. She took us to a few of our bucket list places that we can now check off. Aunty Kelly made our tour the very best and we can’t wait to go on another tour with her. She is the very best!

BEST DAY EVER! - Our experience with Hi5 Tours was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully planned, and you can truly feel how much they care about sharing the beauty of the island with every guest. They were not only knowledgeable but also so warm, fun, and welcoming. It felt like spending the day with family who happen to know all the best hidden gems.
We were able to see breathtaking sights, learn so much about the history and culture, and experience Hawai’i in such a personal and meaningful way. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our family, including our kids, had a magical experience. The entire day was filled with beautiful views, laughter, and memories we’ll remember forever. My 4 and 7 year old still talk about this day and can’t wait to go back to explore more!
I can’t recommend Hi5 Hawai’i Tours enough — if you’re looking for a tour that feels personal, genuine, and full of ohana, this is it. Thank you for making our trip so special!

Highly Recomend- this is how to be in the moment! - When you hear about a tour/company from a stranger on the Monorail in WDW before you even start planning a trip to Hawaii, you know it’s got to be good! And it sure was! My family of 4- parents and 2 young adult children- had the pleasure of doing the private island tour with Ryan. Ryan’s goal was for us to take it all in, learn about his home and to be in the moment. And that was just what we needed to hear and experience. He asked us what we wanted to do and some other questions and had the day planned for us in an instant. We started off at the Dole Plantation and grabbed Dole Whips and then headed to Waimea Falls. The Falls were an incredible experience, but the walk up and back down was beautiful- I didn’t realize the Falls were also a botanical garden. Then we drove over to the North Shore for lunch where we were able to find food that accommodated our dietary restrictions (Celiacs and nut allergies). After that, we were able to snorkel and then end our day at the KoHana Rum Distillery. All of these stops were amazing and special, but for me, my favorite part of the tour was being able to talk and listen to Ryan. He had so much to share about his love for Hawaii and what makes it special to him. We learned so much about the culture and the people. It comes from such a genuine place of love and respect for his home. Hi5 is all about supporting local businesses also and they are invested in their community. All around an amazing and unforgettable experience! Please check them out- worth every penny!

You will not do better than Hi5 with Ryan - We were so lucky to have selected this tour. Booking it was very easy and we were picked up from our hotel by Ryan.
He was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of local places, history, environment and local culture was top draw. It was a full day experience picked up at 8 30 and dropped back at 5 00. The van was very comfortable and air con was good.
Visited pineapple farm, macadamia nut plantation, amazing food truck venue, Sunset Beach, paddle boarding/kayaking, filming locations, historic lookout.
Thanks Ryan and Hi5 for a great day.

Best experience - We had a great time, thanks Kelly for showing us the local sites. We are planning to go back and revisit some sites so we can have more time. Without your tour we wouldn’t have found half of the sites to see. We look forward to using Hi5 again.
