The tour was really nice!!
The tour guide (Dennis) was very informative and and entertaining!
If it's your first visit, It's a perfect tour to get to know the Island.
It let you see what all the island has to offer so you can decide what you want to go back and see more of.
The lunch location is a plus, the place was outstanding!
Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu!

We had a wonderful tour guide by the name of Leo C. He showed us the island and kept us entertained all day!! The stops were all beautiful and we had ample time at each stop. Leo gave clear and concise instructions and stayed on schedule. Will book again!!

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

The circle island tour (1 star) was too much a rush, it is literally a drive half way around the island to get to PCC, only a couple stops that barely has time to get off the bus and take photos, and no where states that the famous Hanauma Bay is closed on Tuesday for cleanup.
The PCC operates like the cruise ship, put a lei on you just to have photographer take pictures to sell you later, and then take the lei back. The so called guides in the PCC are students where some of them are not well trained to handle the group; you can do everything by yourself using the schedule of programs.
The Luau was mediocre, no whole pig roasting, just a huge dinning hall with lots of people, eating the buffet, and some show on stage. Sorry, I live in Vegas, this cannot compare.
"HA: Breath of Life" Show definitely 5 star, very well done and great performers, if you are willing to pay high price for shows in Vegas, this one is on par.

The Pearl Harbor Circle Island Tour was just awesome and a great way to see Honolulu main points. Our tour guide Joey was just awesome and had a great individual to have to show our group around! He knew everything about each stop we made, very detail oriented, gave us plenty time for pictures and to take in the beauty of yeah stop. Seeing Pearl Harbor up close was just history in the making and an unbelievable and sad event but so worth seeing! The tour was nice and a great way to meet other on the tour from all over. Very long tour though, your talking all day! 8-9hrs with lunch included. But it was long and I was beat once it was over with the sun beaming down on you-lol. I totally recommend this tour and Joey our guide for anyone looking to see some Honolulu great picture spots and the history behind each stop and location!

I recommend this tour to all. The tour takes u to lots of beautiful beaches. They stop and park so you can get off and take pictures. We went to the top of the highest mountain in oahu which had awesome views. The driver was extremely knowledgeable and fun. He took lots of pictures of my group and promised to e-mail them..... We r still waiting for them but none the less a great tour.

Had a great time. We go to Hawaii once a year, and have gone on almost every tour. The best thing about this was the tremendous flexibility to do and swap activities. Not a "tourist" tour. Little fubar on scheduling, but the drive Harry made up for that. Time with Harry was as good or better than seeing the falls!!

We were picked by Craig at the TAPA Tower on time. Craig was a very informative tour guide. Had a great way of introducing tour members to one another was they were picked up. The Pearl Harbor memorial was very thought provoking. Only down side was the limitations on bags. It is incompatible with the rest of the circle island tour since all cameras and accessories had to be stored for a fee. Otherwise great orientation tour for first timers.

As I was only in Oahu for two days with a colleague, the first time either of us had been to Hawaii, we felt that the best way to see as much as possible was to take a tour. We looked on the Internet and found Hawaii Activities. I am extremely happy we made the choice.
Our bus driver, Hana, (I apologize if I have spelled this incorrectly) was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He was able to provide us with a number of historical facts which added a great deal to the experience.
I would gladly recommend Hawaii Activities and Hana to anyone looking for a tour of Oahu.
Thank you so much for a memorable experience.
Sincerely,
Joanne Lewis

The guide was excellent. Our negative experience is due to the following two main reasons:
1) The tour bus (Discover Hawaii Trans and Tours) was broken into and all our bag packs were stolen. Heard a similar thing happened few weeks ago at the same place. I would have hoped that the tour company would taken added precautions like not leaving the bus unattended after the previous incident or communicating the previous incident to all the guides in the company. Basically they did not care.
2) After the bus glass was broken, a new bus was brought but after driving few miles, the new bus had gas/petrol leaking. The petrol smell was seeping into the bus so the windows had to be kept open with no AC!!!! Basically we all gave up and said just drop us at our hotel and forget about some sight seeing stops such Diamond head, etc.
We had an excellent time with other tour operators both in Oahu and Big Island except this (Discover Hawaii Trans and Tours) one.

As said in the title, this trip is definitely recommended to those who are first timer in Oahu Hawaii. The tour guide is great, he seems to know a lot about the history of Hawaii and the information of every sites we are going to. The value is not bad, especially if you don't know what to plan on one day, because the tour lasted long! And prepare to explore Arizona Memorial and extraordinary beaches and view!
