I highly recommend this tour. Stephanie was on time, kept to a schedule, was very professional and full of information. Her kindness is something I will always remember. We had a mixed group of ages so at first, I thought it was going to be tricky, but she managed well and didn’t rush anybody. She made sure everyone got to see everything in a timely manner. She was full of energy and during downtime traveling from one place to another other she had some interesting stories about Hawaii for us. The van was very clean, comfortable and air-conditioned. Overall, I highly recommend this tour because you get to see a lot but if you can get Stephanie, then it’s an added bonus! (my phone died during the tour and she let me borrow her charger, very nice of her! 🙂)

Our driver, Allen, was great! I wouldn’t say the tour is unnecessarily long, and we would I have preferred longer time at sunset beach in order to swim rather than stops to stores (macadamia, Dole, fruit stand etc) for us to spend money.

Our guide Stephanie was great. She made extra stops for photos, gave us a lot of information for things to do but also a lot of local folklore. A great way to get a tour of the island in a day.
One excursion packed with many activities

A lot to see in this excursion. It was so much fun. Our driver/your guide was super kind and helpful. Totally recommend it. We were exhausted at the end, but so worth it.

Get a good night's sleep! This tour starts early with a hike up Diamond Head. Well worth the effort to get to the top for amazing views of the island. Our tour guide, Stephanie, was very informative during the drive to the various destinations and extra stops were made along the way. The stop at the food truck selling malassadas was particularly accommodating given the need for something sweet and a nice cup of coffee! This day tour was a comfortable way to see the island and get a feel for the various beaches and towns. It gave us a good idea of what areas we wanted to spend more time in during the course of our stay.

We had limited time on Oahu and Diamondhead was on the list of things to do. With reservations being required to hike Diamondhead, this tour checked a big box and gave us a good look at the rest of the island too. John was awesome! He gave us info about the island, it's people, history, geology, plants, and much more. So glad this was the first activity we did on Oahu.
Great tour
