I went on a tour last year around Oahu and it was fantastic. I wanted to try a new one and this had great reviews online. The tour is fine. It takes you around. The tour guide was just kind of basic in his delivery. It didn’t really feel that exciting and fun for a tour. Wouldn’t do this one again.

I never wanted to go on this tour because as I rightfully thought, there’s nothing to see. I’m not into nature so I can’t imagine what ppl expect to see. The price is obviously outrageous and you can get the same tour for $50 here on the island, so don’t buy in advance

You get to see lots of different beautiful scenery through this tour. Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable, and shared many fun stories about the island and its history throughout the tour. Unfortunately we didn’t spot any sea turtles while we were snorkeling, but our snorkeling guide made sure everyone got to see them from the shore!

Nevin was our tour guide. This tour is a great way to see a little bit of many sites. Sadly, we were unable to go snorkeling because the waves were too high and they created a safety issue. We did however get to see a sea turtle basking on the beach. We stopped for food at a local restaurant which featured mostly shrimp dishes, the food was very good and you received a lot. We also visited a couple places that had souvenir shops. Nevin was very knowledgeable and he played his ukelele for us.

Nevin was knowledgeable of the island. The morning we were advised that they had big waves so we couldn’t snorkel on the north shore but he would find us somewhere for a swim but spend longer looking at the north shore. In reality where it says 10min at sunset beach it’s driving past to take photos from a moving van. We also did not go to the fruit stand as advertised. Because I spotted a turtle at chinamans hat we did not look for turtles on the north shore. I understand that when big waves prevent snorkeling on the north shore that the tour need adjusting but this was not comparable to what was expected

This is a great overall trip to see the highlights of Oahu. Our guide Neven was great! Made the trip fun and memorable! Loved the the tour was small (9 people) The sites and stops were great! The only downfall is that we spent all day in a very small vehicle. We were the last to be picked up so the only seats were way in back and difficult to get to. It was so cramped that one couple left for that concern which did make it more comfortable. Would have been tough if all 11 stayed.
