Top Honolulu Full-day Tours - page 4

"Excellent tour. Loved the waterfall hike at Manoa Falls and the beach at Blowhole lookout. Our guide, Natalie, was very nice and provided a lot of information about the island as we drove around from place to place. This was our first visit to Hawaii and we are glad we took this tour to learn our way around the island. Would definitely recommend!"

"John was very informative and because this was a private tour, we were able to go to some private locations where a larger tour bus could not. In addition, John is a professional photographer and was taking pictures throughout the tour which are provided to you without any additional charge."

"The most memorable moment of my trip was Waimea Botanical Gardens, Byodo-In Temple and my tour guide Killinme. I loved his sense of humor and kindness he showed towards the group. He was also very informative about the culture of Hawaiian Island. I would recommend this tour."

"As first time visitors to O’ahu, we had no experience with tours of the island and wanted a great experience. My husband did some online research before our visit and because of great past reviews, we selected "The Awesome Circle Island Tour." (We booked through Viator). We were not disappointed!! Right from the start, our tour felt personal with a warm welcome and jovial conversation throughout. (It didn't hurt that our tour group only totaled 10 passengers). Our tour bus was clean and comfortable with big windows to allow maximum site lines. Our driver and guide, "Captain Vince," engaged with each member of the group - by name - and was especially inclusive of the kids on board. Vince is gregarious, personable, knowledgeable, and makes you feel at ease - all important characteristics of a great tour guide. By the end, he made us feel like a family! We saw great views from Diamond Head, Halona Blowhole, visits to cool stops like a macadamia nut farm, Waimea beach, Iolani Palace and Dole Plantation. We stopped for lunch at Fumi's Shrimp Shack ($ not included in the cost of the tour), which was excellent. We then stopped at a produce stand for a fried lumpia, something I'm sure I wouldn't have done without Vince's recommendation. I personally appreciated that Vince knew other tour guides and was friendly with all of them but wasn't shy about telling us he wanted to stay ahead of the other tour groups, lest we suffer bottle necking of large crowds (...and restrooms!) We learned a number of Hawaiian words and sayings, adding the all-important local flavor to our tour. By the end of the day, 9.5 hours had flown by, and I was a little sad to leave our makeshift tour group family. My husband and I both felt our time (and money) was well spent on "The Awesome Circle Island Tour." I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see the sites and become family with strangers... even for just one day."

"Our guide Jenny was great and very knowledgeable about the islands geography and history! With a camera or phone, great pointers and tips for all photography levels."

"Jimmy was phenomenal!!! Very personable and knowledgeable. We already want another day with him!!! :)"

"This was such an awesome way to see the island sights. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful, and made sure we knew what we were doing the whole time. The biking was easy and fun, the hiking was so beautiful and the snorkeling was amazing! Krash and Sushi made the sailing so much fun! Would definitely recommend. Thanks E!"

"Carey was fantastic! He had a route and was easily customized with what we wanted to do. Highly recommend!"

"We had an amazing day with Shane snorkeling with the awesome local knowledge that he had was a absolute plus top notch tour guide"

"US Navy Veteran interact with staff onboard the Missouri and the Arizona Memorial. This was priceless and very unexpected. My compliments to all staff members, rangers assigned to all venues on the Pearl Harbor visit. Bill Smelser US Navy, Submarine Force Pacific Fleet 1989-1994 (Gulf War 1)"

"John our tour Guide was the absolute the best. John gave us the tour of Our Lives of the Northside of Hawaii we learned about the culture and History. The local eateries were amazing the pictures I can't say how beautiful our pictures came out. Our sunset pictures was the best we are so appreciative of his kind and patient nature. A thousand stars"

"Kalani was a fantastic guide. Very accommodating and flexible. Great sense of humor and shared much knowledge. Marvelous day. Was over way too quickly. Wish we had more time at each stop"
