Hi5 goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend! - We recently booked a private tour for a special occasion (with very short notice). My husband called before booking online and talked to the owner who left him with a great impression. We had the pleasure of having Auntie Kelly as our tour guide. She greeted us warmly and kind of like family, immediately feeling excited for our day. She communicated with us to get a sense of the things we were hoping to do/see and planned a wonderful itinerary. We started at the beautiful Tantalus Lookout, and explored the east side of the Island from there. Aunty Kelly is very outgoing, exceptionally knowledgeable and a wonderful storyteller. We were entertained and learned so much more than we ever could have had we visited these places on our own - thank you Aunty Kelly! We 110% will book again in the future - What a memorable and beautiful experience! Run, don’t walk - and book your tour today.
PS to Aunty Kelly - we would love to connect and if possible get the beautiful photos you were able to capture of our family that day as none of us seem to have them 😢

Ryan was an amazing guide! - We had an amazing day today with Ryan our tour guide with Hi5 Circle Island Tours. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything and if he wasn't sure about something he'd Google and get us the answers we asked about by the time we returned to the van. We went for Coffee at a coffee plantation, for our pineapple fill at the Dole plantation, tasted and purchased macadamia nuts at a Macadamia farm, and went paddle boarding on a saltwater river. I know it was salt water because I fell in, lol. Plus we got a very intensive history tour that left me wanting to go to some of the places Ryan talked about.

5 Star Private Tour - Ryan was amazing! He was personable, professional and knowledgeable. He also had a really bad start to his day which he didn't allow to affect him or our experience at all. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide and I highly recommend Ryan and Hi5 Tours.

Private island tour with Ryan - My family and I had a phenomenal tour with Ryan! He arrived at our resort with Leonard’s malasadas which were delicious! He took the time to talk with us and see what are must sees were. From there he created an itenarary that would include visits to Dole Plantation, Green World coffee farm, Sharks Cove, North End food trucks, Waimea Falls (unfortunately we couldn’t swim that day due to strong current from the storm rains), town of Halaweia! It was a fun packed day! I would highly recommend Ryan and Hi-5 tours!

Best experience while on the island - 5stars! - We did the private island tour & it was the best decision we could’ve made! It was definitely the highlight of our whole trip. A friend recommended the company from when she visited Hawaii a year ago. I spoke with the owner prior to booking and he was very responsive to all of my questions prior to booking (which solidified my decision to book).
My family and I went in August (2024) and we brought our 5 year old w/ us. It was a work/ pleasure trip. On top of it all, I was sporting a broken ankle that happened 3 weeks prior to the trip. I brought a knee rover w/ me that they had already made room for and considered in all of the activities. I thought I would have to sit out most activities but Ryan (our tour guide) made sure I not only got to participate but did so safely while not at the expense of my family getting to experience all that Hawaii had to offer. Ryan was so professional, thoughtful in his recommendations for the day, and took so many pictures we couldn't have captured that will surely make life long memories for me and my family! He was open to pivoting throughout the day and continued to check-in (to see if we were tired or if our interests had shifted and wanted to do something different).
Even after the tour ended, the thoughtfulness didn’t end! We reached out for recommendations for a luau (that we attended), beaches, and local food spots.
Thanks from me and my family!

Best Private Tour of Oahu - The first part of our Hawaiian Vacation was done with Hi5 tours and it truly was an amazing way to start the trip. As I was traveling with my 80+ year old grandparents who are hard of walking, they were extremely accommodating for all of our needs and things we wanted to see on Oahu.
We booked 2 days with Hi5, the first day being with Ryan, and the second day with Yianni. For our first day, Ryan took us on a whole circle of the island, stopping at many incredible lookout points, a macadamia nut farm, Kualoa Ranch, the Dole Plantation, and many incredible beaches. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable answering all of my grandpa’s questions about the island, and interacting with all of us.
For our second day, we had Yianni for another incredible day. This day was more “adventure based” in nature, stopping at Waimea falls, Sharks Cove for some snorkeling, another incredible lookout point of the entire city, and a beach where we were able to see some sea turtles in the water. Again, Yianni was extremely kind to all of us, and made sure my grandparents were comfortable while us grandchildren would go out on these adventures that they could not participate in.
I would recommend Hi5 tours to anyone with families who plans to visit Oahu and you will not regret booking with this company. My grandparents, who can be picky at times, could not stop talking about the amazing time they had with Ryan and Yianni. 5 out of 5 stars!

Hi5 Tours Makes Dreams A Reality - Hi5 Tours is AMAZING and I knew it would be from the start just by speaking to Yani while my family and I were planning our vacation. Yani’s kindness, careful attention to detail and communication gave us peace mind. We spent 3 days with Hi5 and their commitment to our trip captured lifetime memories. Yani joined us with Kelly the first day and we had a wonderful time with them both. The stories and culture they shared with our family truly immersed us in the rich culture of Hawaii. We spent the whole day eating delicious treats and food. The next 2 days we spent with Kelly as she shared Hawaiian culture, history and sites with us. Our family truly felt blessed to come across this wonderful company! Hi5 Tours treats you like family! Thanks Yani & Kelly we adore 🥰 you!

Awesome Tour ! - Yianni ran an amazing tour he brought us to the North Shore for a day . It was awesome my kids and family enjoyed every minute of it from the local food trucks to the hidden private beaches with sea turtles and the amazing local shops . I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get away from the commercialization and see the true side of Oahu!
