4.00Very little time is spent at each stop. Our tour included 2 non-English speaking groups who spoke continuously. Might be good to have individual headsets so we could hear the tour guide. When the guide is not speaking, appropriate music could be playing. For a six hour tour, van space is cramped for passengers over 5'7".

5.00This tour was super enjoyable. Just about the right amount of time at each stop. I wouldn't have been able to see all these great locations without the tour. This is a great way to see a lot in a day. Our Tour Guide Kaps was super fun and engaging as well. Highly recommend.

5.00A must do experience! We’ve traveled to Hawaii several times and this tour did not disappoint. It was our 25 year anniversary so we booked several events for the week! John, the tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. John, the driver, was very courteous and kept us safe throughout the trip. During the tour, we visited lots of locations and it gave us ideas of other locations where we’d like to revisit. It was a great way to tour island. I’m glad we booked this trip. Thank you so much to both of the Johns! You truly made the trip truly enjoyable.

2.00We enjoyed the places the bus stopped at. However, there were several other places on the itinerary that we would have liked to stop at instead of just driving past: Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Sunset Beach, Sandy Beach Park. The guide was very attentive and gave a lot of information.
Wonderful experience the...

4.00It goes to sights as advertised. We heard “ wiki wiki” at most locations by our tour guide. Not sure why? We finished tour 1 hr early? Could have used the time watching surfers or turtles.
Great experience
