I went on the 10 hour Hawai'i circle island tour and it was my favorite tour during my visit! We were driven around by Uncle Wong and Jeremy was our tour guide. It was from 7 am to 5 pm and we were able to comfortably ride the bus throughout the island. We did not have to worry about parking or driving. We were able to intake the beautiful scenery as we passed by and take a nap on the drive back. Jeremy had such a great personality, passion and knowledgeable about the island! He was also organized and prepared! He texted the morning of to remind us of our tour and he also texted photos of what he was talking about during the tour. He also sent recommendations for food, activities and excursions. He also went through the lunch menu and took our orders in advance on the bus so that it would be ready for when we arrived at Tanaka Kahuku Shrimp (btw it is true what he says, best and freshest shrimp on the island!) I enjoyed the drive, the temple, and every place that we visited. Without this experience I would not have had the chance to try the variety of food and see unique parts of the island. It was a little cloudy and rainy but that didn't stop the fun. We were able to snorkel and we saw so many turtles and fish! Heads up the rocks are pretty sharp so I recommend bringing reef shoes*** (as well as extra clothing, towels and cash! It's cash only for the food stops)***And all the stops had clean restrooms so that was much appreciated! I definitely recommend this tour! Thanks again Jeremy and Uncle Wong for the amazing experience! mahalo!

With my first trip to Hawaii,y wife decided to book a tour of Honolulu Island that culminated in taking a trip to the Dole Plantation. Our driver Tim was very friendly, funny and informative with information about the island and the sites we saw. In total we saw and experienced over 20 different sites along our route to the North Shore. Along the way we say homes owned by Jackie Chan, President Barack Obama, Keanu Reeves and Dwayne Johnson to name a few. We visited several beaches, stopped and got some awethentic Hawaiian food and even visited a Macadamian nut farm, which was a big step for me as I am allergic to all things tree nuts. All in all it was a fun experience and I would definitely do it again with Tim as my driver. Can't wait to become a regular visited to this mighty island and experience more that it has to offer.

As newbies to the island, we obviously had to do the circle tour. I was greeted by cousin Mya with so much enthusiasm I was excited for the tour before it even began! I love how kind and wholesome he was. Not only did I learn the rich history of Hawaii, he also gave so many tips and tricks for navigating the island. He truly welcomed us into his ohana and by the end of the tour I felt like we were truly family! The tour itself was definitely worth waking up at 6am for. I enjoyed the snorkeling part too and saw 3 sea turtles! Overall, I highly recommend everyone young and old , to do this tour and explore Oahu! Thank you circle tour and Cousin Mya! - Michelle & Kenny from New York.

10 stars for my tour guide, but 4 stars for the tour itself, if you take it as it is, which is basically a sight seeing tour. I think this would be a great precursor to your trip to see what the island has to offer and then planning accordingly, but in terms of exploring, there wasn't much time to see and play on the different spots we stopped at, just snapping some quick photos. But, still a cool tour for those who isn't renting a car because it does go around basically the whole island. Guide I had was a local and super enthusiastic. Knew many trails and locations that we could explore. Ended up learning a lot of Hawaiian culture, stories and food from him. I found myself getting excited by all the trails and different places he mentioned. I appreciate that we had more time for snorkeling, but the water was a bit murkier than I expected and I only ended up seeing a couple of fishes and two sea turtles, but only because they were bobbing on the surface. I wouldn't have been able to see them underwater.

i had such a fun time on this tour, i really would recommend everyone to book this. jack was amazingbooked online thru alohacircleisland . com for $99 per person. absolutely a great price because there were so many stops. i will say before tho, i kept getting contacted by this company to join their webinars. i think its like a timeshare thing so i would politely decline. i was afraid it would be a scam since they kept asking me about it but it turned out to be real lollaround 30mins before the tour started, the tour guide Jack contacted us in a group chat to confirm location and time. i guess this tour is associated with a company called Nui Tours since thats where the bus came from. Keith was our driver and Jack was the tour guide. Jack was amazing, hes young and funny and has great stories. i was so entertained during the tour. hes very respectful of hawaiian culture and i learned alot. the tour was advertised as around 25 people but it was actually 50 people on the bus. very big tour, but i had enough time at the stops to get pictures and bathroom breakshonestly forgot what my stops were but there is a fruit stand that is near a gift shop that they told us about with pineapple and li hing i think? i felt like the pineapple there was BETTER than dole plantations. i also bought alottt omg. for lunch we ate at pounders which is in the polynesian cultural center. it has alot of gift shops there too so i got some cute things. SHOUTOUT TO JACK AGAIN, HES THE BESTT. i would literally do this tour again when visiting hawaii because it was an amazing experience and completely worth my money. i recommend for ppl who arent renting any cars because u get the whole island experience for a great price. feel free to message me for any questions ab my trip in general since went a week by public transportation and had a great time

My husband and I booked our trip to Hawaii a month in advance for July 2021. This was probably last minute as everything was pretty booked up. We scheduled this tour the first night we were in Hawaii, as most things were sold out.Overall would highly recommend the tour. Our tour guide, Josh, was very positive and kept the group in a good mood throughout the entire trip. He decided to do the trip "in reverse" so we would get more time at the stops and snorkeling so we would not have to compete with the other tour groups. It is a great way to see the island as an Uber was costing about $100 per way to get to North Shore from Waikiki. We got to swim with many turtles and spend more time at the sites. Would recommend for anyone coming to Hawaii for the first time or that has never done a tour before.

This tour was a complete waste of time and a rip off! From the start the first two stops didn't happen because of a marathon going on. (If it were a good tour company they would have had this checked out in advance and made adjustments accordingly) The lunch stop was a poor choice because more than half of the food vendors were closed because it was Sunday and in the middle of a Mormon settlement. Again professionals would adjust for this and provide a better option! They advertise snorkeling with the turtles...that did not happen! We were dropped off at another hotel's beach and were given broken snorkel equipment from the back of the dirty floor of the bus. The snacks advertised were leftovers from a previous tour and contained only bags of hot chips. There weren't even enough drinks for every passenger. The stop a the fruit stand was disgusting. When we asked for a fruit smoothie the fruit came from somewhere down near the ground behind the counter and the blender did not look clean! The health department should be called out to this location for obvious reasons.Bottom line, if you want to sit on a bus for 10 hours and go to a couple of "tourist traps"-by all means have a go with this tour. I could have had a better time at my hotel and Waikīkī beach! If I could give a zero star rating, I would!!!
