Oahu Circle Island Tour
Reviewed by: Ron & Gloria Seeders, 2017/05/17Mark Nielsen made our tour so enjoyable. My husband and I were joined by two of our friends and Mark made sure to accommodate all of our site choices as well as giving us additional information about the Island. We stopped many times for photos and were even given some info on a popular TV show and its stars. Thanks to Mark, we were back in plenty of time to board our ship without stress.

Full day tour
Reviewed by: K paterson, 2017/04/01We had a very good driver who was very familiar with alll we wanted to see. He was full of information which was very interesting. Had a great shrimp lunch.
In Australia we are not allowed to use mobile phones while driving I am not sure of the law in the USA.
He was very helpful with our having to purchase a charger for my new camera.
Then to top things off he had to deliver a hat to our hotel
Thanks a million.

This is the only way to do a Circle Island tour!!!
Reviewed by: Emmii68, 2016/08/18I have previously done a Circle Island tour on a "big bus" with lots of other people, and I can say with absolute confidence and conviction that a customised tour is the only way to go!! We saw exactly what we wanted to see; stayed as long as we wanted to stay; and had lunch where we chose (North Shore Food Trucks). Moe, our driver, was fantastic: we mapped out the day with what we wanted to see and he made sure we got to see everything we wanted to. Moe was polite, courteous (opening and closing car doors), informative, friendly, chatty and had plenty of cold bottled on hand for us throughout the day. Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your kind remarks. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in Hawaii and got to see exactly what you wanted to see.
Mahalo,

If I had it to do over....
Reviewed by: Lil, 2016/07/16We had two days and one night in Oahu. We mainly went to see Pearl Harbor. Decided the best use of our time was a customized circle island tour. Pros - on time, clean van, pleasant driver. Cons - Spent the first 15 minutes debating whether or not we had paid for a full day tour vs half day. Resolved. In advance, we reviewed the standard circle island tours offered, researched each stop, made a list of what was of most interest to us and presented that to the driver when he asked what we wanted to see. He interjected his opinion (and I think preferences), skipped over things we wanted to see, somewhat criticized our choices by saying the Byodo-In Temple was a tourist trap, wasted our time on a hike to see a waterfall at a garden and then insisted we needed to stay on time and had us turn around about 5 minutes from reaching the waterfall to leave. In hind sight, we should have just walked the streets of Waikiki. Probably could have gotten a better tour out of a taxi service.
Warm Aloha Lillian,
Thank you for posting your review. We are currently looking into this matter with the management and will get back to you once we hear back from them.

Reviewed by: Jan Weiss, 2016/06/28Our driver, Curt, was great. We had a list of last minute things we wanted to do and Kurt just took our list and made sure that everything got checked off. He was personable and so knowledgeable about the island. I recommend him highly

Best Travel Ever!!
Reviewed by: Coopers and Kings, 2016/05/10We rented a private tour of Oahu after we disembarked the cruise ship. It was the best way to see the island and hear interesting facts and history! Pua was amazing with her knowledge and we enjoyed a stress-free visit around the island. It was the perfect way to travel some back roads!!
Thank you very much for your great review. I'm glad you enjoyed Hawaii and had a positive experience with Pua. We will convey this to Pua as she is one of our top drivers/tour guides. We hope to see you on your next visit to Hawaii.

Perfect in every way!
Reviewed by: KathyCalifornia, 2016/04/27We asked for, and got, a day long tour of the island that took us where the locals ate, played, surfed, and shopped. Our driver, Kevin, grew up and the island and was the perfect guided and host. The car was in excellent condition, the air conditioning worked well, and was comfortable to travel in for our day long trip.
Thank you, Kathy, for choosing Platinum Limousine, we are glad you enjoyed yourself in Hawaii. We will convey your message to our driver.

Keith (our driver) Was Solid Gold!
Reviewed by: Dale East, 2015/12/26We built in a layover on Oahu on our way from Lihue to Hilo, reserving a car and driver to get a quick overview of the major highlights in and around Honolulu. Your driver, Keith, was amazing. Within a few minutes of meeting us at the airport, he had designed an extensive tour around Diamond Head, along the coast, a fantastic poke lunch, a trip through the mountains back into Honolulu, the Punchbowl, and back to the airport in time for our flight to Hilo. He was conversational and informative; someone with whom it was a real joy to spend the afternoon. Thank you for providing us with a fantastic day, and thanks to Keith for hitting it out of the park. An absolute home run!
Thank you very much and we are happy that you enjoy your adventure on Oahu. We look forward to your next visit to the Islands. Mahalo from all of us at Platinum Limousine

Customised Tour around Island
Reviewed by: B Robinson, 2015/02/08Had a Great day. Didn't know what to expect but put our hands in Bob's expertise and he took us to some amazing places that we wouldn't normally have seen. We wanted to try some Hula pie and he found out where we could get some. He even had cold water for us to drink. By the end of the trip he knew us all by name.

Circle island tour
Reviewed by: Drnino, 2014/06/05We had one entire day in Honolulu and wanted to see as much as we could so decided to take the private limo tour of the island. Mark was our driver and did an excellent job. He went to get us tickets for Pearl Harbor ahead of time so we did not have to wait. He customized the tour to our wishes and took us to places that avoided a lot of the tourists. This tour was much more enjoyable than any bus tour we have taken before.

Great way to see Oahu!
Reviewed by: Katie at Mode Travel, 2014/02/15We stopped on Oahu on our way home from a week in Maui. It was my husband, stepdaughter, three sons, and my parents - so 8 of us that took a limo around the island. We had Frank as our driver, he was wonderful! We had plenty of time to see the North Shore and Pearl Harbor. We were picked up and dropped off at the airport, very smooth deal!

Captain Kurt - out of this world
Reviewed by: Ms peach, 2013/08/03Our guide was Kurt. He was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. He is a great story teller. His depth of knowledge comes from growing up on Oahu. We went to lunch at a wonderful marina. Great views and great food. Saw beautiful beaches. My nephew aged 14 thought it was the best thing we did on Oahu. That is tall praise.

He was knowledgeable and took us to areas of the island that we might not have found on our own. He also took into consideration things that we stated we enjoy and like and he made those things part of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour and Isaac to anyone looking for a great experience.

Circle Island tour
Reviewed by: P, Price, 2009/03/27My family of 4 took the Circle Island tour in one of your limos on March 16. The driver - SCOTT - was really great, and made the experience very enjoyable.
For only a little more than the cost of one of those "bus tours" with 40 other people, my family got our own intimate, personalized tour...in a limo. It was one of the best days of our trip. Thank you, thank you. Or as they says, "Mahalo".

Best time in Hawaii!
Reviewed by: 4theHorde, 2007/05/02Seriously, booking this tour was such an awesome idea! Me and 6 of my friends got the Hummer Limo and we went ALL around the island! Totally KEWL! The driver was like way super cool and knew a lot about the island and places to go and stuff. I hate being on a big bus with TONS of other people and it is a totally great deal and it is just you and your friend, or whoever you want to bring. Forget about the bus tours and get a limo! w00t!
