"Thank you Oahu Nature Tours for taking great care of my parents! We signed my parents up for the tour since husband and I were pretty much landlocked with baby at our hotel. Despite us being stuck at the hotel, we really wanted my parents to enjoy their first trip to Hawaii and see what Oahu has to offer. Searching online, we decided to go with Oahu Nature Tours. We were not disappointed. My parents had a blast. The bus was spacious and comfortable. The AC was great. The driver was safe. My parents didn't experience any motion sickness. This was critical, as my mom is pretty sensitive to winding roads. We did alert the tour guide of this, and he was so gracious and accommodating. He told us that he'd be sure to check up on my mom (which she verified to me at the end of the day that he did indeed check on her multiple times), arrange for her to sit up front if necessary, and had medications if needed. We had come ultra prepared as my mom already had a scopolamine patch on, but regardless she did well on the trip. The tour itself was great. It hit up so many monumental spots of Oahu. It took away the inconvenience of travel for my elderly parents. No planning, no GPS required, etc. All they needed were comfortable walking shoes, a poncho/rain jacket for unpredictable island weather, and a phone for taking photos. They returned with a million gorgeous photos taken from around the island. They enjoyed their shrimp lunch provided on the tour. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who requires a convenient, safe, efficient way to check out the island with no planning required. Parents were picked up at 7:30 AM and returned by 7 PM. Thank you Oahu Nature Tour for taking such great care of my parents!"
"We have done many snorkel treks in Hawaii and our Ocean Joy Morning snorkel sail from the Ko Olina resort (April 2024) was one of the best. Catamaran was in great shape, tasty morning snack (poi bread pudding), excellent lunch buffet (kalua pig, teriyaki chicken, salad, fruit, rolls), plenty of beverages, friendly and helpful crew. Our one hour snorkeling offshore from the Hawaiian Electric Kahe Power Plant didn't have a lot of fish on our day, but we saw two large sea turtles. Its a bit pricey like the others, but we would highly recommend and would do this again."
"We had a great full day tour with Mac. Beautiful sites, plenty of photo opportunities, great food and beverage samples of local fare and fun banter. Recommend!"

Like many others, we did ample research before diving into this tour. The appeal for me was the:- included lunch- guidebook given at the end outlining Oahu's nature WRITTEN BY THE CEO!- focus on flora and fauna- competitive price point - good pick up locationsMy favorite stops were:- the Botanical garden which many other tours offer as well- Pali Lookout for King Kamehameha's victory and the windThe not so fun:- Chinaman's Hat, would've preferred the nut farmOur guide Kainoa taught us about the nature, history, Hawaiian language, personal storytelling especially with his grandfather and brother, some cool stories (spoilers ahead) include:- Grandpa and brother touching Pacific Ocean at the same time in Honolulu and San Diego which is touching the same thing- Polynesians keeping sharks as pets, one of grandma's friends kept a 14 ft long tiger shark and fed it in knee deep water- The events of Pearl Harbor and December 7th 1941 through his grandpa's eyes- Hawaii's transition from sugar cane to tourism Some other cool random events include: - two peoples birthdays- proposal on board!Definitely would go back! The bus was comfy and Kainoa was awesome. you can tell the CEO and all the staff really want you to know the intimacy of Hawaii, not just the tourist spots, evident when driving up the north east shore and through the countryside.

BEST Snorkel Cruise we have taken on Oahu so far! Awesome soft deck! Beautiful Bar! Amazing Gourmet Hawaiian Food for lunch! I'm talking Terriyaki Chicken, pulled pork and rice people! My husband and I both felt it tasted better than some luaus we have been to! The snorkel time in the water was amazing! The fish are beautiful! We saw a sea turtle and thanks to our amazing photographer Mani, we were able to capture the whole experience forever without any worry! Captain Jerry and his whole crew were so kind and friendly, it felt like stepping aboard a friend's boat.... Amazing experience! I highly recommend!

Did the sunset tour. Andrew is wonderful! Such an awesome tour guide and instructor. I learned many tips and tricks from him using features/tools on my iPhone. He took some very nice photos which he sent to me via airdrop. I thought it was just a tour but it's almost like hiring a personal photographer to be with you on the tour, someone who knows the island quite well and is able to tell you fun facts and take you to some of the most beautiful spots for photos. I can't wait to come back to Oahu and take other tours with this company.
