Cousin Darcy ROCKS!!!!
Mouang S,Jul 7, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Definitely a great day. Cousin Darcy was charming and friendly. Lots of great island anecdotes. Make sure to confirm where you will be picked up. Donuts! Coffee! Dole pineapple whip!!! Some places do not take cash so have a card or Apple Pay ready. Great lunch plate (the spicy #3 shrimp is NO JOKE spicy… you are warned) Great trip for the driver in your group so you get a chance to view the island. Snorkeling spot was very muddy from recent rain but driver told us of alternate spots we could try on our own. And hiking trails. And beaches. Take notes for sites that are suggested that you’d like to revisit at your own pace.

1.00This tour guide was not a people person. I am on a cane he saw that and did not offer the step to board the bus. I know how waivers work had I suffered an injury it would have been legally my fault. As a patron I had no knowledge of the safety features on the bus but your driver knew and never offered. Another passenger saw my struggle and asked about a step the driver smugly said yes he had one, but he never offered before.Very unprofessional.

5.00Our family just did Oahu Circle Island tour. Our guide cousin Darcy was an excellent tour guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. Since we had extra time, he even took us to a few additional spots that weren't originally on the itinerary, which made the experience even more special. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. I highly recommend Darcy to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and memorable tour!

5.00Leena is absolutely fantastic, my husband and I did the tour with Leena in August last year and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We booked this year with our 6 year old daughter and were delighted to have leena as our tour guide again.
We had the best experience!

5.00We had a great experience with this tour. Will is still our guide both the 1st and 2nd day, he was very informative, took us to try all the delicacies that hawaii can offer, took us to good tourist spots and we had the whole oahu experience. Will is the best tour guide. Will surely refer to friends and family. We booked a private tour and the money is worth it, we had the transportation on our own and it was clean. Mahalo again Will! ⭐️
Horrible

1.00Waste of money. Wouldn’t do it again. Everyone in the group wanted to be done with the tour and decided to be finish early, some people even got an uber and left earlier on their own. Wouldn’t recommend at all. Would really appreciate a refund.

4.00We had a great experience our amazing tour guide Brian Hashiguchi was awesome He made our experience full of life and fun And it was honor to explore this beautiful island.

5.00Didn’t expect to go on a tour and be treated like family. Brian was truly one of the most genuine and fun people I’ve ever met in my life. I would book with him over and over again. By the end of the trip I felt like I’ve known him a lifetime.
Most amazing tour with the best guide!!

5.00Brian Hashiguchi was my guide and he was amazing the entire trip, took us to all these fun places, and built a fun relationship with him. He has such a great personality which made the tour experience that much better.
Generally a solid experience

4.00Solid trip to see the island and enjoyed the sights. Definitely would skip the time at the beach for swimming as we passed so many beautiful beaches but stopped to swim at the muddiest one. The shops and the views were worth it, especially since comparable travel in an Uber and rental cars is very pricey. Tour guide was amazing, Leena provided excellent service and was very knowledgeable about the island. 🤙🏾
