Overall a great experience especially if it's your first time to Honolulu, Hawaii. The itinerary includes 1. Amelia Earhart Lookout on Diamond Head (nice place for pictures) 2. Volcanic lava tube (Halona BlowHole) (again, another nice place for pictures)3. Makapu'u Point (Oahu's most eastern point) (again, another nice place for pictures)4. Visit the incredible Byodo In Temple (admission Included) (fun little area to walk around. You can visit the temples and take pics with the nice architecture. There are also gifts shops to buy souvenirs)5. Macadamia Nut sampling at a tropical farm (wow, I mean wow! You get to sample as many macadamia nuts as you want before deciding what to buy). Also there was a nice shaved ice spot called Kamananui Shave Ice. I definitely recommend trying it. I got the Lychee and Melona with vanilla ic condensed milk and Strawberry colada with likioi vanilla ice cream condensed milk. Omg like heavens in my mouth. 6. Admire Chinaman's Hat in front of Kualoa mountains where Jurassic Park was filmed. Pretty cool view. Passing by. 7. North Shore Shrimp lunch at local Hawaiian Farm plus other local delicacies available- not the best... kinda spicy. I got Th e garlic shrimp with spicy sauce and chicken katsu. There was also a deal that if you write them a good review, you get a free pineapple ice cream so of course I did that. Not the best pineapple ice cream I've tried but not bad. 8. Admire the waves at Oahu's famous Sunset Beach- another nice view9. Stop by turtle beach to look for Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles laying on the sand- I missed this because the turtles don't come out much during the winter. 10. Visit world famous Dole Plantation- my favorite part of the tour. The pineapple ice cream is definitely worth a try. The area is also just nice to explore.

What a great experience!!! Shelly was our driver and she was so informative and funny...she shared a lot of history about Oahu. It was an all day tour with many stops and lookout points.. so beautiful. We enjoyed lunch at local Tanaka shrimp food stand...did shopping at different stops like the macadamia farm, dole plantation but our favorite was turtle cove where we got to see sea turtles up close!!! Thanks Shelly for such an amazing day

PAPA P DESERVES A BIG RAISE!!! This was the best tour I've ever been on. Not only did Papa show us the REAL Hawai'i, he told us the real story of Moana along with other beautiful stories and history about Hawai'i that will make you feel like "Ohana". I also got some good real estate advice which is great because I SELL HOUSES! Lol Thanks Papa for an amazing day full of beautiful sights, company, music and did I mention the FOOD! Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. Did I mention that PAPA P DESERVES A RAISE!? Mahalo Ohana! Can't wait to see you again next year, and the year after that! Tips: - DRESS nice! The photo ops are amazing! - Wear comfortable shoes- Charge your phone - Bring water - Change of clothes (and toiletries ie lotion, baby wipes, body spray) for after scuba diving. There's more cute spots afterwards you'll definitely want to get pics! - Bring CASH!

This was a great way to cover a lot of ground all around a majority of Oahu, seeing a good variety of sites. While some are mostly touristy and shopping-heavy, there's simply no denying how much natural beauty you'll take in by joining this tour. Think of the price as short money for being driven from Waikiki to and around many of the top north shore highlights, with some enjoyable local legends, history, and trivia shared along the way. However, the Kokololio Beach Park stop alone was a key highlight, and a true gem. Jake was our guide for the day and made sure all questions were answered and needs met - he also did a great job corralling everyone with a conch shell call, keeping our group together and on time. Overall, enjoyable and well worth the price of entry.

Our experience was not reflected by these pictures. There was a long bus ride and an amazing tour guide who worked very hard to be engaging. There was a bridge that was out so our alternate route was not reflective of other's experiences. The first part of the trip from Waikiki was as per norm and beautiful. Even though it rained the blowhole was awesome. Then we had to deviate to different stops. The lifeguard yelled at our tour guide that he would not be responsible for our group of 20 and that the guide would have to monitor those that got in the water. The Dole plantation and coffee plantation were tourist traps. No time to see anything. Just stop and buy something and wait in huge lines. The restroom and lunch stop was another trap and the food was not worth the prices. We spent time on H3 which is tremendously rough for a dual rear axel bus. We were beat up by the bouncing. There were some beautiful sites on the island and we were frequently told we could rent a car and come back to this spot because it was amazing. The guide was so knowledgeable, but the schedule meant we got shuffled from one place to the next. I frequently felt like cattle being herded.

Papa P was our tour guide and he was wonderful. His knowledge and love of the island shone brightly throughout the day! He showed us so many beauties of Oahu that we would not have otherwise seen. This tour was a wonderful deal considering everything we got to see and do throughout the day. It is both my husband and I's first time in Hawaii so we appreciated getting to learn so much culture and seeing so many sights. We loved our tour guide so much! We couldn't say enough good things about this experience. Also, they had unlimited snacks, water, and juice on board which was much appreciated.

I had thought this would be a great family day. It was terrible, not because of the tour ir stops but because we had the WORST tour guide on planet earth. Jake made our tour all about him, politics, his social agenda and a host of other inappropriate issues all day long. To top it off, not once did he offer ir try to assist a handicapped person on our tour. His behavior was an embarrassment to other Americans, who actually like tourists, and an embarrassment to this company.Oh, and the snorkeling gear was crap, it was broken, they didn't have enough equipment.
