Best day on Oahu - What an incredible experience. Micheal was by far the best tour guide we have ever experienced. From the initial phone call where he got an idea of what we like to the actual incredible day he planned for us was AWESOME! Michael's customer service and excellent communication ability made the day a huge success. We were able to let him know what we like and the attractions we wanted to see and he was able to cultivate a wonderful day for us. His knowledge of the island and how long the attractions would take were spot on, he is a true professional. He also knows the history of the island like the back of his hand and was able to answer all of our questions. It was so nice being escorted around the island by someone who has the spirit of Hawaii in his heart, the knowledge of its history in his mind and by someone who was always a step ahead of us making sure the experience was top notch. He is also very funny, personable and makes you feel very at home. Best decision and best day of our trip!

Amazing day for our family! - Booked this tour for a our family of four (my wife and I plus two teenage daughters) and Michael provided an absolutely fantastic day. We wanted to see Pearl Harbor and then were totally flexible on seeing the remainder of the island, and Michael was on point for the entire day. He had terrific suggestions and we appreciated his stories and him sharing some of his favorite places to see and eat with us… we all loved it!!

Great Oahu Experience - Michael is the best! We got to see everything we wanted to and then some. We did Pearl Harbor, Dole Plantation, paddle boarding in the North Shore, and then toured the island. We even were telling some locals what we did on the tour and they were impressed! This is a great way to tour Oahu. Michael even went out of his way to save my sunglasses. Highly recommend!

Amazing Day - Michael planned a great day for our entire family. Ages 9 - 80. He was extremely thoughtful of everyone’s interests. We had a fun day while seeing a variety of sights. We were flexible with our itinerary so we devoted time to activities that appealed to us. Michael’s knowledge, experience, and attitude enhanced the tour tremendously. He was especially helpful to a family member with mobility issues. His caring manner made it a special day for all of us. Truly a treasured memory!! Mahalo!! We highly recommend this tour and Michael.

Let me start by telling you that the... - <p>Let me start by telling you that the real reason I had chosen to have a private tour was to avoid the crowds and not having to go with tons of people in a bus where to get in and out would've taken precious minutes of our day and being our 1st time in Hawaii we wanted to see everything around the island. Michael was great! He exceeded our expectations. He was on time and picked us up at our hotel and took us straight to Pearl Harbor we were like the 4th group in line to get in Michael is very knowledgeable and took us to great places, Northshore, Turtle beach, Dole plantation, we had lunch on the side of the road, great beaches and an awesome waterfall. My kids had a blast! Michael even took us to Leonard's to try the most delicious Malasadas! Thank you Michael for making these great memories for me and my family!</p>
