Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour - East Oahu , Pali Lookout, Haleiwa & Dole

Best Tour Ever!

Reviewed by: L. Bueno, 2022/01/22

We were greeted at the large comfortable motor coach by LOLA. Throughout the day she demonstrated an amazing amount of knowlege coupled with humor about China man's hat, macadamia nut, sugar cane, coffee, pineapple, and coconut farms. The Japanese Temple and coy farm was an incredible sight. We were able to ring the bell for health and wealth then proceeded to the 10 foot gold Buddha. We ate at Shrimp truck which was delicious. We were given time to explore the North Shore town of Halewei. We learned about how the islands became under one ruler and where the original Oahu people were "pushed" over a cliff to their deaths by King Kamehameha. Thoroughly enjoyed the Doke Pineapple Plantation with the delicious dole whips. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST TOUR ON THE ISLAND. LOLA IS #1

Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour - East Oahu , Pali Lookout, Haleiwa & Dole

Wonderful tour to appreciate Hawaiian history and delicacies! Great for newcomers and locals alike :)

Reviewed by: Clarisse, 2022/01/17

Overall, this is the best tour for anyone wanting to see the major highlights of Oahu with wonderful opportunities to enjoy Hawaii's culinary delights. Our family has been to Oahu at least 4 times, so we thought we had seen it all, but this tour really allowed us to appreciate the beautiful island of Oahu even more. Our local tour guide, Tony, was very kind, informative and funny and really treated us like "ohana." He definitely made the tour memorable. He shared a lot of great recommendations! We loved the subtle but impactful hospitality touches of the tour, such as the free water bottle and malasada.

What we really loved about the tour was having a variety of stops that allowed you to appreciate the surrounding nature, history and food of Hawaii. There is something for everyone!

For the ocean lovers, make sure to sit on the passenger hand side of the bus because you will have ocean views throughout the journey. The stops at Hanauma Bay and the Pali really help you appreciate the lush surroundings.

For foodies, not only do you get a taste of the poi malasadas from Kamehameha Bakery during your journey, but you get to visit: 1) Tropical Farms where you can taste and purchase locally grown macadamia nuts, coffee and other island delights. Our favorite flavors of the macadamia nuts were the cinnamon glazed and maui onion. 2) Haleiwa town where you can enjoy the delicious garlic shrimp. We went to Camaron Shrimp Truck which serves theirs peeled with rice, salad and a slice of fresh pineapple. I really loved the coconut shrimp which comes with a side of the garlic sauce. The shrimp was crispy and scrumptious! 3) Dole Plantation where you can try their world famous Dole Whip! We got a cup of Dole whip with fresh pineapple topping each bec it's too good to share. Make sure to line up when you arrive because it gets busy!

For newbies, this tour is a great way to see it all in one day.

This tour is highly recommended!

  • Lovely informative tour sheet provided

  • Delicious poi malasada while enjoying the view at Hanauma Bay

  • Decadent shrimp plate from Camaron Shrimp Truck in Haliewa

  • Serene ambience of Byodo-In Temple

  • Window view of Chinaman's Hat

  • Very comfortable and spacious seats of the tour bus

Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour - East Oahu , Pali Lookout, Haleiwa & Dole

Amazing tour!!!

Reviewed by: Debranma , 2022/01/10

My three teenagers and I had a great time visiting all of the places that Hawaii has to offer. Besides all the pretty places we loved learning about the history of Hawaii, our bus driver was very nice and very knowledgeable. My favorite part was definitely the breathtaken views everywhere.
I would recommend to other people doing the tour, to have good night sleep the night before, so you dont fall asleep and miss part of the fantastic ride around the Island.
The tour does have a bunch of stops and the driver will give you enough time on each one of them.

North Shore Off-Road Tour Expedition from Haleiwa

Best Experience on the Island

Reviewed by: M Garcia, 2022/01/09

This was our top experience we had on the island. The tour was beyond fun, like Indiana Jones in real life. The info our guide had on the flora and fauna was amazing. Seeing the farmland and the plants were amazing and it was great to get some history and culture along with it. We got stuck in the mud but had a great time regardless. Just really helped to give us a full experience. Highly recommend for any who wants to go a little off roading and see some great views.

North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

Total blast - even with rain

Reviewed by: Mary, 2021/12/31

This was a nice easy ride. Our group took a bit longer because we had so many horses stop for bathroom breaks - one stopped 3x!! The wranglers were awesome! We had Cole and Hannah (Montana). Although it was wet and windy we still got some great views of the ocean. I was lucky enough to ride Autograph who has been in movies and TV shows like Magnum PI & Hawaii Five-O. She was a great horse. We enjoyed the ride a lot and would definitely come back for the longer ride next time.

乗馬体験では、非常に良い景色、そして良い経験もさせて頂きましたが、その後の自由時間に関しまして不満が残りました。

このコースは山、海コースとなっていますが、海のアクテビティは、なにも開催されていませんでした。

そのため資料館等には行きましたが小さく長時間いるものでもないので帰るまで時間を潰すのが大変でした。

星5つ以上の価値あり。

Reviewed by: Julia, 2021/12/14

大変人気のツアーなので、お予約は早めに!
ハワイには2週間滞在する予定だったので、到着してからの予約でいいやと思っていたら、もうこの日しかないって現状でした。絶対に行きたいツアーだったのでよかったです。
レンタカーを借りる予定の日だったので、送迎なしで申し込み、少し遅れてしまい次のグループからスタートしました。2時間、LOST、ゴジラ、キングコングやジュラシックパークなどの撮影を巡っていきます。海は見えるだけでビーチは行きません。
ガイドは大きな声でクアロアランチの説明をしてくれるので、聞き取れます。馬はすごくトレーニングされていて安心して乗馬可能でした。
現地申し込みだともう少し安くできますが、予約状況など含めると絶対に事前予約必須です。
満足のいく2時間でした。
小さなお土産やさん、レストラン併設。ツアー最初に写真を撮ってくれて、最後戻ってきたら20ドルくらいだったかな購入可能

A very well conducted tour highlighting the must see's around Oah'u. Danny, our guide provided us with so much information, both historical as well as cultural, making the experience memorable, despite the rains. Our entire group felt like an extended family, long-lost cousins just Danny mentioned, who stepped up to help me when I had a minor mishap. And Danny thank you for the tasty malasadas :)

We had a group of 7 for this tour and it was perfect to see the highlights of the island, outside of Honolulu. Stephanie was a fantastic tour guide and driver!! She gave a lot of info and local insight on hang outs, fun facts, etc. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see more of what the island has to offer!

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Wonderful Trip with Kimokeo

Reviewed by: david.han@liteon.com, 2021/12/06

Our tour guide Kimokeo Ca on 12/04/21, 7:45am-5:45pm

* Knowledgeable, friendly, energetic and also humorous guy
* My family of 3 have a wonderful time and learn all the details about culture & facts around the Oahu island.
* He manure the vehicle comfortably and safe.


But sadly, in the end, he failed to mentioned to us and stop the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Hotel where we stayed in. I have to personally go to the front asking and tell him to STOP, but it already pass a few hundred yard from the original pickup location. I am kind of reluctant to give him the gratuity in the first place but since he has been very good the whole day, so I pass it to you anyway.

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls

Best Luau on the Island. Not just a show, a real family experience.

Reviewed by: Michael B, 2021/11/22

Easily the best Luau on the island. Real hands on experience for the whole family.
This was certainly the highlight of our week in Hawaii. We stayed at the Hilton Lagoon Resort in Waikiki. Our condo overlooked their Luau which we watched twice from our balcony. I can only describe their Luau as trip to McDonald's. It was big and all but was certainly nothing special and nothing personal. They seat about 400 people with most tables seated far away from the stage. Compare that to our experience at Toa Luau and it was like fine dining as compared to a trip to McDonalds. Toa opens up with hands on experiences for everyone. While the guests do not get to climb a coconut tree they do show how it has been for hundreds of years. Guests are given the opportunity to peel off the husks, crack a coconut, and shred the meat. The above ground cooking oven was quite interesting. From there we started with the stage show and took a tour of the Pacific Islands. This is the Luau you want to attend, you will not be disappointed.

Most beautiful spot on the island!

Reviewed by: Holly, 2021/11/15

I actually did not end up horseback riding because my friend was 5lbs over the weight requirement, so we switched for the E Bike tour instead and had a blast! I am however disappointed about the horseback ride. I understand the weight limitation because we wouldn’t want to cause strain or damage to any animals, but my friend and I have both been horseback riding throughout our varying vacations and it’s never been an issue. A horse can hold a man. Anyways, the bikes were great. The valley is beyond beautiful and our tour guide was to coolest!
