John was our scuba expert and my two daughters and I were novices so we went through an orientation and practice dive with him. We enjoyed our boat ride to the sites and our Captain was a great guide and helped us get views of sea turtles, whales and dolphins. He also explained the coastline and made sure we got good photos! The first dive we were more focused on our breathing but still managed to see a lot of incredible fish! On the second dive we were more relaxed and able to focus on our beautiful surroundings . The sea turtles were so close we could have touched them (illegal though!) . I felt like I was part of Finding Nemo with all the fabulous fish we saw! We saw a starfish, trumpetfish, reef triggerfish, pennant butterfly fish, white spotted toby, yellow stripe goatfish, etc. It was wonderful to be in such a surreal environment . I’ve had scuba diving on my bucket list for around 40 years- We did it. I will never forget this adventure, John and the Crew from Seasport Divers that it all happen!

Our Tour guide Travis was extremely knowledgeable on all things Hawaii (also quite humorous). He was super informative on the history, culture, geology and botany, and that was just on the ride to the summit. It is cold at the top, minus 2 deg Celsius when we were there. However warm jackets and gloves are provided. We took a beanie too which was a good idea.
The sunset is amazing on top of the clouds. We then drove down to 12,000 ft for the stargazing, which was incredible. Travis explained everything very well, and never rushed you. It was probably the best 8 hrs we have spent in Hawaii. Can’t recommend this tour any more highly. Thank you.

This was a great sunset cruise along the coast of Maui. There was unlimited drinks on board and the staff was very attentive with getting you refills. I believe the food on board was catered from Joey's Kitchen and we had some pulled pork sliders, brussel sprouts, and chicken wings - they all tasted great. I would highly recommend this sunset cruise but make sure to book early because it sells out quick.

Jonah was one of the most accommodating tour guide hosts we have had. He was on time picking us up, he added additional stops for us and tried to point out every point of info he could find. He is very sincere and proud of being a family of Hawaii. We enjoyed the smaller vehicle which was clean. He offered hand sanitizer, water and a step to get into his vehicle. He allowed eating Hawaiian donuts. Told us not to worry about the sand. Said if you didn’t have sand on your feet he didn’t do his job. He provided local insight to the stops and along the way. I would give this tour with Jonah a must do for anyone visiting Oahu. The pace was relaxed and flexible. The sights will be forever lasting. Jonah provided information for future sightseeing and tips for travel. The cost of the trip was a value for that was seen and experienced. It exceeded our expectations. I typically don’t write reviews but this trip and Jonah made it a must.

I would highly recommend this company, and will definitely request Shawn for our next trip to the summit. The guides from the other group with your company were awesome too!

Loved seeing Diamond Head and doing the hike to the top! Got to the top to see the sunrise, just beautiful! Our tour guy was amazing and heard us talk about coffee, so he took us to get some local much needed coffee:)
Got to see some beaches and the blowhole was just a gorgeous, don't want to miss sight! We ate at a foods truck park which was interesting. We ate at Mike's, which was soo good! Guy Ferrari approved!!!
We took our children, 7 and 5, so by the time we got to Dole plantation they just wanted Dole Whip ice cream. So, the line was long and moved somewhat fast but we didn't have time to do the train ride and learn about the plantation. But, was all around great to see everything and worth it!!
Hello Kristen,
Thank you for the review. We are glad you had a great time with the family on the tour. The coffee at the Island Brewhouse is so good. I hope you enjoyed your time in Hawaii and hopefully you can return to the islands again.
Much Mahalo

My first time to Hawaii and I wanted to experience and see all the island has to offer and this tour was exceptional! Our tour guide Jonah was awesome, and he took the time to answer all our questions as he drove us around the island. He also took pictures of us at all the stops and was accommodating to our needs and let me charge my phone while driving as well as offered us complimentary waters. He gave us ample time at each stop to enjoy the beautiful island and scenery. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to explore all the islands have to offer. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and navigated the tricky traffic situations with ease which made it nice to stay on track with the time. The van also was nice that it was a small enough group that it felt personalized, and we became friends with the other couples in our tour group as well.
Hello Delbert,
Thank you for your review. I am glad you had a great time on the tour with your Dad. Glad you got to see some of the surf contest at Sunset. I hope you had a great time in Hawaii and hope you can visit our islands again.

Providing critical information and Hawaian History, mixed in with a little humor. Made it the best tour I have had to date. My grand kids said it was their favorite thing we did on our visit. Ages 11 and 14, you should know we snorkled with a tour. Parasailed and more. So Drew you win the best award from all of us. Thank you for a happy memory weshare and treasure forever.

Shawn was the best tour guide! It seemed like the entire 8 hours passed in a flash. From pickup onward, Shawn made sure that all guests were comfortable each time and told entertaining and engaging stories the entire time. The drive up the summit was super smooth, and I loved all of the photos! The stargazing took place at a secluded and clear location just below the summit and was accompanied by a funny, expert discussion on how and where to find all of the stars. Finally, loved all of the local food recommendations and super excited to try as many as possible this time as well as in future trips. The highlight of my trip this year!

Went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We were in Oahu for 2 days at the tail end of our trip. This tour was perfect for what we wanted to accomplish on our last day. The tour lasted roughly 4 hours and we had full transportation to the hiking sites, plus entry fee for Diamond Head. We were able to see the sunrise at Diamond Head which was a once in a lifetime experience!
Definitely recommend this tour for those who want to hike solo, but need the transportation.

So I had the privilege of taking all my family to a trip to Hawaii but because getting a rental car can be a pain an expensive I decide to splurge and just book tours that included transportation…. Who wants to drive around during a vacation… it was all out first time to Hawaii so now that I know all the good spots I can’t wait to go back and explore on my own… we did the Royal star circle tour and it was worth it… it had a/c, a bathroom, opportunities for snack time and a hell of a spot for amazing local lunch options… we got to see up close and some spots actually explore the main hot spots of this amazing island… it’s so green and has a bit of the city flair but the locations that you get to see on this tour really show you the real Hawaii… I had a driver by the name of kalani! He was so funny and attentive to the littles ones in my group… the picture don’t do the trip justice… so if your looking for easy and a lot to check off in one day then this trip is for you… little warning… the day of the week determines on how busy some of the tourist location will be … I went on a Sunday and most places were packed! Another tip is sit on the passenger side of the bus it makes for great water views!

Doing the early morning tour was also great as we did not have a whole lot of clouds and the weather was great.

They provide the parka but I also recommend bringing a hat and gloves if possible. The food was also good but make sure to bring water.

Very family friendly an communicative with the kids also very caring. Teddys Burger place was delicious. Sadly we didn't get enough time to ride the train at the dole plantation but the dole whip was delicious.
