A fantastic family tour experience - An outstanding day that was tailored to fit all our families requests. From picturesque views, waterfalls, swimming, turtle viewing and amazing food opportunities we managed to fit it all in (along with a great music playlist to accompany us in the van with). Would definitely recommend Hi5?Tours in Hawaii.

Amazing experience, highly recommend! - My best friend and I were planning our recent trip to Oahu and we came across Hi5 Tours. We weren't familiar with the area and wanted to see some spots away that only locals would know. From booking to drop-off, everything was seamless and so easy! We would highly recommend Yanni and his company and will definitely book on any future trips. Yanni is extremely kind, generous and just all around a great human being. He is very engaging with every one on the tour and within minutes you feel as if you are with a lifelong friend. We did the full-day tour which started with the Botanical Gardens/Waterfall then off for the yummy food trucks!! Get the pineapple shrimp, it does not disappoint! After we ate too much we went to a beautiful almost private beach spot and did some seashell and sea glass hunting then it was off to the rum distillery. Everything was timed perfectly and Yanni is so knowledgable. If you are thinking about a trip to Oahu, you cannot miss a chance to hang with Yanni, it was a wonderful experience.

High School Trip from NY - What a trip. We spent 8 days traveling with Hi5 for a class trip from NY. As the lead teacher of my 15th class trip to Hawaii, this was one of the best. Our guide Kellyanne was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture. The kids learned so much. Hikes were great, food stops wonderful, and experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this company. The owner Yani joined us for a day and provided great support. The kids loved both Yani and Kellyanne. We cannot wait to return next year. Mahalo nui loa!

Best Day Ever - We enjoyed a culinary and cultural adventure with Yanni! Our day started with deliciously warm malasadas and a delightful conversation about our interests and plans for the day. Yanni expertly guided our destinations and timing to avoid crowds and give us an experience rooted in local culture. He made a special effort to incorporate everyone in our group at all times despite our varied interests and personalities. He even got our teenager off his phone, which is a triumph! We cannot recommend this tour highly enough and would not want to tour Oahu any other way.

Worthwhile Adventure! - I had absolutely amazing time on this tour! Ioannis has a deep understanding and connection with the local scene in North Shore which made it feel very special and unique. The waterfall experience was incredibly magical for us to experience. Loved how we made little stops throughout the tour to connect and experience the local treasures and people. I highly recommend this tour!!!

Customized Hawaii Day Tour - Yani was amazing, he took the time to get to know everyone in the group and what each person's "must see" for our tour of Hawaii should be for the day. He was knowledable of the Waterfall we went to, took us to the most amazing stops to see the beaches, capture photos of the rainbows, sample coffee, cocoa, shaved ice (this is not the stuff you get CONUS, but FRESH amazing fruit), discussed the history of the Island, took us to establishments where he was known and the shop keepers genuinely exicted to see him and his group. Highly highly recommend Yanni and his Tours. We will be booking with him again.

A private tour that fits our needs perfectly - The concept of this private tour of Oahu consists of booking a tour of the island by prioritizing what you want to visit or do during the route. For our part, we wanted to see a Buddhist temple, visit a rum distillery and go snorkeling. The driver, Nathalie, filled the rest of the time with spectacular stops and a wealth of relevant information on local life and Hawaiian history. The service is impeccable and very professional. Nathalie kindly took care of the logistics and all the details of our wonderful day. THANKS!

Great Oahu Island Tour with Hi5 - What a great island tour of Oahu with Hi5. Auntie Kelly picked us up at the Disney Aulani Resort (on her day off) and provided our group with a custom tour that took us all around the island. From the Puu Ualakaa State Park which overlooks Honolulu and Diamond Head; to beautiful vistas on the east side of the island; Kualoa Ranch and other movie and TV filming locations; North Shore beaches of Sunset and Banzai Pipeline; excellent food trucks and bakeries; Dole Plantation and rum tasting at Kō Hana Distillers (Yum). Auntie Kelly was wonderful, funny and crazy in all the best ways! She was entertaining an full of island history and fun facts, and knew everyone and every inch of the island. We very much enjoyed the day and highly recommend Hi5 to anyone wishing to experience all that Oahu has to offer...Mahalo Nui Loa Hi5!

Best day ever - We were in Oahu for 8 days and we experienced so much. Even so the absolute highlight of our trip was spending the day with Yani and Kia on our tour of the island. In 8 hours or so we did so much more than we did the rest of the days on the island. I honestly wish we would have booked them every day we were there, that is how much fun we had on our tour. With 4 small children I was hesitant but let me tell you they had a blast. From eating all the delicious foods at different food trucks to paddle boarding and everything in between. A day for the books. I can’t wait to go back to Hawaii just to see my new Ohana again. Thank you Yani and Kia!
