Great introductory island tour

4.00The meet up and drop is on point. I received so many emails reminding us about the trip and signing the waiver. The bus driver Robert told us many island stories and recommended activities. There are many bathroom stops throughout the tour. I really like the temple. It's get a tranquil vibe. Although I do hope to have less stops at the local shops such as the shave ice stop can be omitted. Overall, this tour is a great kick start and introduction of our week long hawaii trip.
Rob gave the most amazing Circle Island Tour!

This is a great tour to give an overview of the Island. I highly recommend taking this tour the first few days of your trip to get a great idea of the things this beautiful island has to offer.

Great full day tour learning about Oahu and Hawai'i

5.00I took this tour with family and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the entirety of Oahu, checking out a variety of local spots. We had direct drop off and pickup from the sightseeing spots we visited and Charlie was a great guide, highlighting historical and cultural facts, directing us to keep our eyes open on the drive of key features to notice. I appreciated how after he stop, he would show us a map of the island, pointing out where we are and where we were headed next, diligently making sure the whole bus could see up close, passing through the aisle each time for everyone to see. There was great coordination of the lunch, placing our orders on the way so when we arrived our food came right out. Bathroom stops were well coordinated which was helpful.
Sooo worth it for a first timer

5.00Charlie was great! He remembered names and was great teaching us things we never would have known. He was patient at each stop and never rushed anyone. He even gave my husband some pointers to go on his own trip around the island. Great tour to get to know the island and to see what areas you want to explore.
Absolutely Incredible Oahu Experience with Charlie!

5.00If you’re thinking about booking this tour, do it! Our guide, Charlie, was absolutely phenomenal and made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we started, he was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Oahu. Charlie went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, engaged, and having a great time. He shared fascinating local stories, pointed out hidden gems we never would have found on our own, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. His love for Hawaii truly shines through, and it made the tour feel personal and authentic. The scenery was breathtaking, the itinerary was well planned, and every stop offered something unique. Byodo-In Temple was especially beautiful and peaceful. Charlie’s recommendations, insights, and positive energy made the day even more special. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. Thank you, Charlie, for an amazing day and memories we’ll never forget. We would give more than 5 stars if we could! 🌺 Mahalo, Charlie! 🌺
