I wish that the tour gave a bit more time as I felt a bit rushed at the top of Diamondhead. As well note that Diamondheads trail is pretty unpaved and rocky.

John was a nice man and a good driver. We tried to encourage conversation with information about our tour but it didn’t help. A gentleman on the bus gave more information because he had taken a similar tour in June. John did not put his headset on only lifted it occasionally to talk. Like I said a nice man but the tour was long, quiet and boring. Thankfully the other passengers were friendly. Thank you
Hello Paula,
Thank you for your review. We wish you could have a more enjoyable time with John on our tour. We will work with John to make our tour a bit more interesting but agree with you that he is a nice guy. But thank you for your honest comments which will make us better in the future. We hope you had an enjoyable time in Hawaii.

Our tour guide was very accomodating and had lots of helpful hints.
Have breakfast before starting, because the Diamond Head hike isn't a leisurely stroll in the park... you're going uphill a long way and it'll make you sweat!
Bringing a flashlight would be a good idea, because the majority of the hike is on an unpaved and and sometimes uneven path. Which can be a problem for a pre-dawn hike.
We didn't exactly get to see the sun rise per se. We arrived at the top in plenty of time, there were some clouds on the horizon.
Go inside the bunker, all the way to the back, to access the spiral interior staircase to complete the pathway loop. Seems like a lot of people aren't aware that they need to go into the bunker to do that.
I'd recommend having at least $30 per person in cold hard cash on hand, to pay for lunch etc.
If you don't wear sneakers, you could have a little trouble walking over seaside areas with sharp lava rock...
Hello J.L,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a had a good time with John. The weather in December is really like our rainy season so it has been very cloudy recently in the early mornings. Sneakers are definitely recommended especially for the hiking part. But we are glad you had a good time on the tour and we hope you enjoyed your entire stay in Hawaii.

The day was perfect. It was an early start but I honestly couldn’t imagine doing Diamond Head any later. Bring water bottles or you’ll be thirsty! Then we got to stop at the Leonard’s bakery truck which is one of the must haves while you are here!! From there you make 7-8 stops at all the iconic beaches, food stops and more! Our tour guide was amazing. He wasn’t overly talkative which we all appreciated so we could have some conversation but he was super knowledgeable and told us some super awesome things about Hawaii and the local secrets! We decided as a group to skip the last beach because we were all beat from the full day but I would totally recommend anyone looking to see all the things while in Hawaii!!
Hello Jill,

Our guide, John was awesome! We were picked up early in the morning for the Diamondhead hike. This hike I would consider moderate, and is a spectacular view of the city and naturescape of Waikiki/ Honolulu. We continued on to several stops around the island of Oahu that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to see as we didn’t rent a car for this trip. This full day adventure allows you to see many sites as well as learn about the region via a knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend!!

It was so worth it!!! We were glad that we took this tour, we had the chance to see how beautiful the view was from the top of Diamond Head. We sweat a lot but it was a good exercise early in the morning. We had multiple stops and saw a lot of stunning views. Our lunch stop was in an area with multiple food trucks. There’s a lot to choose from but it looks like Giovanni’s shrimp scampi is the most popular. No regret that we go with the hype as their shrimp was so tasty garnished with a good amount of garlic. Need more rice please lol. Stephanie our tour guide/ driver was so nice, she was very patient and seemed to really enjoy what she is doing. There’s so much pride in her when she is showing this area of Hawaii. Thank you Stephanie for your warm service.
Thank for so much for the review. We are glad you had a good time with Stephanie. She really knows what she is doing. Glad you got to try the famous Giovanni's shrimp plate as well. I will let Stephanie know of your comments. Thank you again for the nice comments.

It was just perfect to start our stay in Oahu with a familiarity of the area around our hotel from our guide Stephanie and proceeded to hike in Diamond Head. It was challenging to go up to the top but worth it to see the very nice view during sunrise. We were given enough time on this hike, so no need to rush. Our tour guide/driver Stephanie was very nice and informative. We were just a smaller group of 6, and so the tour became so friendly and personal. We made a lot of stops and took a lot of beautiful pictures.

At first I was skeptical to book this tour because of the early morning start of the tour (my husband and I are not morning people) but we are so glad we did because it was our favorite activity we did during our trip to Oahu. Jon was the best tour guide and was so knowledgeable! He was very punctual but never rushed on when we would explore a little more. Diamond head was a must! I am not the most athletic right now but I’m so glad I finished it, the views are incredible. The food truck you stop at has one of the most amazing food and the fruit stand has the freshest fruit! All in all, I highly recommend this tour!

Stephanie our tour guide was awesome, let me just state the first!
Doing the Diamond Hike that early was great, being one of the first ones on the hike(less people to wade through) and the cooler temperature in the morning allowing the ease of the hike to be a breeze.
Then checking out the eastern part of the island is relaxing when you do not have to drive yourself. Exploration is something that intruiges me, so looking to where i can go and explore on my own; this tour allows just that. This is something to do if you do not what to explore on this side of the island. Allowing you to take another tour, or rent a car and explore yourself. This being the first time for my girlfriend coming to the island and having a delightful and informatitve host to a nice tour.
Hello Paul,

This was much needed because half way through the tour I definitely felt like I was going to crash from exhaustion. So just be prepared for a long day but it's worth it!

The overall trip was good. The driver was on time to pick us up and very nice and accommodating. We started with the early hiking at the diamond head hike which is great because it gets quite hot after 9am at the top and by the time we got back, there was a large crowd waiting to get the tickets to start the hike. The view at the top of the crater was very nice. You can see all the high rise buildings in the waikiki area. It does take about 45min one way with 0.8 miles to climb up to the top. You will climb through a small tunnel which was cool.
Then he drove us around the island and we stopped at a few different beaches. We saw the area with very expensive houses which was very interesting. We also stopped to see the koko trail and the blowhole. We then stopped at a few additional places including the place where they sell macadamia nuts. That was a very nice place where we get free coffee and can taste all different kinds of macadamia nuts before we decide to buy them. We then stopped at the food truck place for lunch and the food was not that good. The garlic shrimp has too much garlic and the butter and lemon shrimp was too blend. What is worse is there was a lot of flies, so we have to constantly worry about the flies going to our food! The kids had a great time chasing the the chickens though.
We then stopped at another fruit stand and the sunset beach. We were supposed to stop at another beach but we decided to skip as there were too many stops along the way and mostly are shops for tourists. The last stop was the Dole plantation which was a big disappointment. I did not even get a chance to see even one pineapple! The place was so crowded with fancy stores selling tourist merchandises and the ice cream was ok. We were not able to get on the train to see the pineapple fields as the tickets were sold out. The maze was ok, but no pineapple there. I personally do not recommend going to dole plantation.
Hello Yi Family,
Thank you for the review. The tour can be a long day. I am glad you got to enjoy some parts of the tour. I am sorry you did not get to enjoy the garlic shrimp. There are a lot of options out there so some of them are hit or miss. Dole Plantation is another one. During the busy season, it can get really packed out there. But I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip out here.

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!!
