Excellent experience - This was a great way to get oriented to the island. We took this tour our first full day here so we could see where things were and learn where we want to spend a day. Maya was excellent at providing history, culture and local insight for the island and Hawaii. I would highly recommend this experience early in your stay. The sights were unique and the fun facts were entertaining. Maya knew just how long to let you experience a stop, allowing ample time to explore where there was more to see. The van size group was manageable and it made quick stops easy. Aloha.

The first day you are here - I recommend this tour the first thing you do so you will know where you wantv o return to during your stay. Cousin Mia was great, educational in a fun way. Made everyone feel like family and included in every stop we took. He was always offering to help with photos. And was able to answer all our questions.

Anniversary trip - Really long day. Around 11 hrs from pick up to drop off. Good way to see the island. Would recommend doing as one of the first thi as so u can de ide what you want to come back to. 16 stops but don't stay long enough to go I side and explore hiw things are made, built etc. Snorkel swim was brilliant. Great bar. Coach was very comfortable. And tour guide and driver both very Informative. Snacks are cold water and chips.

Oahu tour with Turtle Bay snorkeling - This is small bus tour. So there is less space to stretch and for the bags. The tour is much cheaper than compared to big bus tour. Guide Henry was knowledgeable. Best part of the trip was snorkeling at Turtle Bay. Saw many different varieties of fishes. Snorkeling equipment was provided and I was able to use it.

Almost good! - This tour is long, and if your driver doesn’t know how to drive, it feels like forever!! Reckless/careless driving and then our drop off was crazy!! Flying through town while honking at tourists, cars, everyone! His attitude went from nice tour guide to grumpy/angry commuter trying to get home!! With what was included on this trip we suggest driving to Dole Plantation early and then heading to any lunch spot you choose(plenty along the way). Finish your day at Hanamau Bay(with prepaid res/tickets. This is a Great snorkeling spot but isn’t included on this trip.

The driver Henry was ok.... - The driver Henry was ok. He didn’t tell a lot of history of Hawaii which i was hoping for. There are some stops that were Souvenirs stop, fruit stop besides the lookout stops, Dole Plantation and Macadamia factory. The snorkeling was an hour and the equipment was good. Overall was not too bad except the little bus was old, very bumpy if you are sitting in the second half of bus area. Should provide a newer bus.

It was ok - The driver/tour guide was top notch. Sadly let down by lack of substance. It was this is the house of such a person.....there is such and such a beach as we drive past them. Not really interested in celebrity homes would have liked to have gone inland and seen some of that.

Oahu island your experience - On behalf of a group of three, we found this tour a bit underwhelming. Tour didn’t follow itinerary properly - was out of order and some designated stops were missed altogether. We were looking forward to visiting the lighthouse but it was completely skipped over. The places that we did end up actually visiting were picturesque, however every stop was rushed and once again did not follow the timeframes allocated on the given itinerary. For example, lunch was not appropriately timed; it was listed to be an hour in length, but we were given half an hour to get on/off the bus, order, queue, eat, use restrooms, and find somewhere to sit in a packed area with multiple tour groups stopping there at once. We feel that the tour guide spoke too much; i.e the “quicker” 10 min viewpoints on the itinerary only lasted approx 7 mins on average, if that, due to the tour guide continuing to talk but then rushing us on and off the bus, so there was not enough time to enjoy the experience fully. Speakers on the coach were far too loud for a comfortable trip - even using noise cancelling headphones did not reduce the noise enough. The snorkeling location was a lovely place to swim or relax at on the beach, but not appropriate for snorkeling. The coach itself was air conditioned, which was perfect for the weather we had, and the tour guide had extensive knowledge to share, however this unfortunately limited our outside experience off the coach.
