Highlights
  • Halona Blowhole - The drive along southeast O’ahu is stunning. The rocky cliffs that lead to the crashing waves below are sight to see. Halona blowhole is a great stop. Along with the famous blowhole you will also enjoy, eternity beach (famous filming location), views of some other Hawaiian islands and if you are lucky whales (only in the winter months).
  • Makapu’u Point - This is a beautiful photo op with sweeping views of the mountains down to the sea. Rabbit island sits just offshore and makes for a lovely backdrop.
  • Nu‘uanu Pali - The Nu’uanu Pali lookout offers stunning views of the east side of the island. It is also the site of a famous battle. Let your hair blow in the breeze at this often windy overlook.
  • Kahuku Farms - Enjoy fresh local shrimp at Fumi’s. This shack is located just in front of the ponds where the shrimp are harvested from.
  • Ehukai Beach Park - Enjoy the world famous surf break pipeline. This stunning beach is home to numerous surf competitions (winter months only).
  • Haleiwa - Hale’iwa is located on Oahu’s iconic north shore. This little surf town is full of cute little shops and restaurants. We usually end the tour here with some delicious shave ice from Aoki’s.
  • Kualoa Regional Park - Welcome to Jurassic Park (seriously this stop is right across from the valley where they filmed much of the movie). This is an amazing photo stop with incredible mountain views as well as the iconic offshore island Chinaman’s hat.

Wonderful Custom Tour! - We absolutely loved our tour day with Jeffrey! He was so knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. We texted the day ahead to discuss what we wanted to do and chose to spend more time on the north shore with fewer/longer stops (vs a full circle tour) which was perfect for our family. We stopped at a local coffee farm for morning coffee then on to Waimea Valley/Falls, Waimea Bay Beach for a Swim, Banzai Pipeline (where we saw something being filmed), Turtle Beach (with two turtles!), lunch trucks for delicious shrimp and treats and then shopped a bit in Hailewa. It was so nice not worrying about directions or parking or needing to make our own plans and Jeffrey had a ton of great insider information. Would absolutely recommend this tour!

Fantastic! - Using The Real Hawaii tour was great! Jeffrey was timely, polite and fun. He took us to all the places we wanted to see and did not rush us. He even suggested a few special stops on the way that was fun. It was great to sit back for the 2 days and not have to be concerned about traffic finding where we were trying to go or parking. It is great way to see a lot of the island! Hawaii is eye candy all around: mountains, ocean and flowers!

A private Driver is the way to go-hire Shannon! - We had only about 5 days in Oahu, so when time is precious, you don't want to waste time standing in line or waiting for everyone to get on the bus. We had Shannon as our private driver for the day and we loved every minute. He is congenial and knowledgeable. He is also a local and we had excellent service at each place we stopped because of it. He is a bit of a foodie, so don't be surprised if he suggests some fantastic local places. We had three places on our agenda and we let him pick the rest...it was fantastic. Treat yourself to a private tour...you will not be disappointed!

Best tour ever! - The real Hawai’i tours is amazing! They give you an in depth tour of the island and cater to what you want to see. We even went surfing on our tour which was the highlight of our trip! The tour guides take you to the very best spots on the island and focus on quality when it comes to the shave ice and shrimp trucks. Aioki’s was the best shave ice we had on our 2 week stay and Fumi’s shrimp was fresh and tasty. I’ve recently took my second and third tour with the company and was just as pleased as the first time. I can’t wait to come back to O’ahu and take another with this awesome company!

Two tours are better than one! - My family and I went on 2 island tours last week with The Real Hawai’i and had a blast!! We saw and did it all from surfing to shave ice!! Our tour guide exuded the Aloha spirit and was extremely knowledgeable on all thing’s Hawaiian. I loved the personal attention- our names were known in the first 5 minutes and the fact that my daughter is vegan was taken into account whenever we stopped for food. We went to many off the beaten path beautiful spots that other larger tours might not cover. I highly recommend The Real Hawai’i and can’t wait to return to O’ahu, not only for another tour but to capture some of that infectious Aloha spirit from The Real Hawai’i ☀️🏝🏄🏻‍♀️🍹🌊

Excellent Private Tour - Dan from The Real Hawaii is a great tour guide. He took me and my family out on an awesome adventure today. One of my kids main request was to see turtles and he delivered! We were able to see about 7 turtles out in the ocean and close to shore. My kids were so happy we were able to see them. The plus was that we were far away from the crowds at turtle bay. We also saw sights that normal big tours don’t get to see. Mahalo to The Real Hawaii for showing us such a great time at a relaxed pace! We’ll be seeing you on the Big Island in a few years!

Van tour - Fantastic tour. Thank-You the real hawai'i It was awesome and Dan was really informative. We went all around the island, went to some great lookouts, popular attractions and even had a shave ice to finish the day. Dan ensured that our shrimp for lunch was sourced from the freshest supplier on Oahu. And we broke the record for his largest tour group yet!

Real Hawaii Day Tour - Our second visit to Honolulu. Great personalized service from Real Hawaii.Their rep Dan took us to places that we had not seen on our last large group tour. He tailored our tour to meet our needs and also provided suggestions to improve the overall experience using his amazing local knowledge. A highly professional and customer focused outfit - we will use them again when we next return to Hawaii to explore the Big Island
