Kalina was an awesome tour guide. I apologize if I spelled his name wrong. He told us several time and it was the name of our bus . He was so informative and be so funny. He told us so much information and was patient with people who lost track of time at a few of our stops.He was friendly with everyone on the bus . I will like to book a trip with this company again and hope that I get Kalina as my tour guide.

The most relaxing way to see the island. My husband and I enjoyed every stop. We took some incredible pictures. Our favorite was the 90 minute stop at Haleiwa where we had the best shrimp lunch we ever had, walk around the town's local shops and had a cocktail at the end! Our driver Lola was funny and knowledgeable. She deserves the driver of the year 2021 for sure!!!

The tour guide for the Deluxe Oahu Grand Circle Island tour was amazing.
So knowledgeable and entertaining. Our first visit Hawaii and enjoyed every minute. We enjoyed viewing Diamond Head, Hanamua Bay, The Blow Hole,
the North Shore Beach and tasting the mouth watering pineapples at the Dole Pineapple Plantation. I wish our visit never had to end.

Would highly recommend this tour for all ages! Our tour guide Lola made this tour fun and unforgettable. She was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to tell us all about Hawaii. The Dole Plantation was busy but she made sure we got our Dole whip.

We did this tour as a couple who just wanted to see the island and this tour went above and beyond our expectations. Our guide, Kalani, was an experienced, funny, and overall great driver who took us to all the best spots in Oahu. This was our favorite thing we have done on our trip, I could not imagine coming to this island and NOT doing this tour. Starting the day with delicious malasadas, Kalani provides us with excellent service and knowledge about the history of the island. You HAVE to do this tour if you are coming to Oahu.

I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu. Kalani made this tour more fun and educational. He went above and beyond for his guests and did it all happily! This is a full day packed with lots of stops.

My cousin and I had a great time on this tour. This was her first time in Hawaii but I have been many times so I can confidently say that this is one of the best island tours that I have been on. We got to eat malasadas at our first location at Haunama Bay. From there we went to Halona Blowhole and saw the amazing views from Nu’uanu Pali before the clouds came in. Then we went to Byodo Temple located in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park and rang the bell for good luck before heading towards the North Shore for lunch. We saw Chinaman’s Hat along the way. The Dole Plantation is a place I must visit every time I go to Hawaii just for the Dole Whip! We also got to visit King Kamehameha’s statue in Downtown Honolulu. But it was our tour guide/driver that made this trip around Oahu better than some of the tours I’ve experienced. Kalani was incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we visited and many other sites. His lived experiences made us feel the appreciation and connection he has for the island. He also made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire day. Our tour was on mother’s day so we are grateful for the time he could’ve spent with his mother, showing us around the island.

Glad I took a risk and booked this tour. It was worth the money spent. Lola our tour guide/shuttle driver was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. Even brought us Poi donut as a treat. I would highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful day and we hit so many places in a day. William is also an amazing guide. 9 hours tour is filled with information, history and banters. You won’t get to see all the places if you are driving by yourself.

The tour was great! Our driver was very informative and attentive and we enjoyed it. He made us feel like we experienced hawaiian culture through his eyes. We saw a lot of beautiful sights and will definitely do it again.

This was an amazing tour!! Our your guide Lola was great. She was friendly, understanding and knowledgeable. Beyond the sights we saw she was able to give us a glimpse into the real Oahu. She had great tips for our lunch stop and made sure we got the most out of our tour. This tour would be great for families, couples single travelers really announce that wants to see the island in comfort. The tour pickup spot was close to our hotel so that made it easy for us.

Initially we planned to rent a car and explore the island from Waikiki, driving to different areas multiple days. But, corona (and Hawaii reopening) caused a shortage on rental cars apparently and so we were not able to rent a car after all. Then we found this tour and we couldn’t be any happier with it! It not only allowed us to see the island of Oahu, we also got all the extra information that we wouldn’t have gotten without Lola, our driver and tour guide. We stopped at the blowhole, the Pali of Nu’uana viewpoint, a macadamia plantation, the valley of temples, Haleiwa, dole plantation, and passed the north shore beaches and many other beautiful sights, also Honolulu. After the team we even regret more than we couldn’t go again and spend some time at the places suggested by Lola. Therefore, my recommendation is to do this tour first (at the beginning of your vacation) and then try to go to the places you liked the most. And Lola was just hands down the best tour guide. She brought water and Poi Donuts —> delicious!! And she was so energetic in telling us all the stories about the island and what she used to do or used to go as a kid. This whole experience felt more like connecting to Oahu than anything else we did during our time there. Highly recommended!

Wow! I am so impressed by this tour. When my family originally planned this, I thought it would be boring. However, I was blown away. Our tour guide, Lola, was SO amazing. She was so knowledgeable and personable. I am shocked at how much I learned from her. She made the day go by so fast- I wasn’t even ready to leave. She even brought us Poi donuts. It was so cool to eat from the local restaurants- I never would have ventured to do this on my own.
This is a must! Don’t even hesitate. It’s worth every penny.

this was my first visit to oahu and the i had booked an introductory tour. it was a perfect start. our tour guide was really lovely with a good sense of humour . he was also knowledgeable about the local history and little areas of interest being a local interest.
there were lots of visits to some beautiful beaches and enough time at the waimea botanical gardens to go for a wander. the lunch was delicious. topped at the end a visit to the dole plantation.
i wish we had more time at the plantation to actually go out on the train to be amongst the growing pineapples which would have added to the experience
Aloha Neeti,
Thanks for your kind review. We have many places to go on the tour and have to return to Waikiki on time so we only can stay at Dole 30-45 minutes.
Aloha,
Michael

This was our first time in Hawaii so we wanted to see as much of Oahu as we could and this tour was a great way to do it. Our driver/tour guide/waiter Steve was excellent; filling us in with fun facts about Waikiki and the places we passed along the way, recommendations for activities and places to eat and restroom breaks along the way! Highlights were the chilli garlic shrimp lunch and the green sea turtle we saw sun-baking on the beach and the ones bobbing up and down in the sea! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the North Shore and get out of Waikiki.
Hi Karen,
Thanks! for your 5 star review of Steve, your great recommendation and our adventure!

Great tour to do if you are not familiar with Oahu. Our driver, tour guide, lunch server etc. was outstanding. Very informative and patient. I highly recommend Oahu Nature Tour. Our tour guide was Monique in case you have a choice. We attended this tour on 28 May 2019. Lunch was included at Fumi's Shrimp Shack

Our tour guide and bus driver were both very knowledgeable and were easy to understand. We were given ample time at each stop to be able to see sights and take pictures. Lunch was very tasty. This is definitely one tour that I would recommend to friends and family.

When we first got on our tour and the guide introduced himself I didn't hold out much hope of learning anything from someone who said they had only lived in Hawaii for 3 years but Steve turned out to be a fountain of knowledge. He made the day an extremely enjoyable one, so much information given and funny too. he should also release his soundtrack to the Circle Tour, he had a song for every stop it was awesome! My only criticism would be too many beach photo stops not enough time at Waimea Waterfall and Dole Plantation.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for your 5 star review of Steve and our adventure.
Aloha,
Michael

Oahu is beautiful and the tour was a Great way to experience it. Unfortunately, it did rain for part of the trip. Greg, our driver and guide is very personable and knowledgeable. He really aims to please. I would say that we were a little too packed on the bus, it would have been preferable to have been on a smaller tour. Overall, you certainly get your monies worth!
Hi Francine,
Thanks for your review of Gregg and our adventure. We currently use a luxury bus that has VERY comfortable seats and plenty of room.
All the Best,
Manager

We enjoyed our circle island tour in Oct. this was a special occasion for us and our second trip to Oahu. We wanted to see more of the island this time and choose this tour because it had so many stops and was a full day trip. Our driver was very informative & very knowledgeable. We enjoyed all our stops and had the best day!!! The lunch at Fumis was fantastic! I would recommend this tour to everyone!

We had a great experience. I went with my girlfriend, mom, and grandmother.
The tour gave us a good idea of the places we'd like to visit the next few days. Our tour guide, I think he name was Paul, was kind, knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and provided good advice for activities we could do the next few days.
