What To Expect
It’s time to fuel up for the day ahead and what better way than a deep-fried, Portuguese donut, known as a malasada? We’ll guide you to Leonard’s Bakery, one of O'ahu’s most famous spots for these delicious treats. Leonard’s features eight different types of malasadas from its original that’s coated in sugar to custard-stuffed varieties filled with flavors like haupia (coconut) guava, and macadamia nut There’s usually a line, but don’t let that deter you -- it moves pretty fast.

I can't recommend this...

5.00I can't recommend this enough! This seriously was the most amazing tour on your own time. It was like he was a friend in the backseat telling us everything, we were talking to him like if he was there by the end of the trip. I love these tours. This is my second one I've purchase through Shaka Guide. I highly recommend to anyone. I can't wait to explore more of their destinations with them.
Excellent tour

5.00Once you started the tour, it was great. Only issue is you need to get to one of the starting points first and then the tour will start. The software will not direct you to the starting point from where you are.
Just book it! You won't regret it!

5.00This was a great experience with an even better tour guide/driver! Brett was awesome and so interesting. He even played the ukulele during our lunch by the volcano! 10/10 day!

Glitches w/Google Maps

2.00We enjoyed the information provided, however, the conflicts between Google Maps and this app were a hassle. It was fun driving around the coast line and glad we took the time.
Great find!

5.00Found this gem and loved it! My husband and I spent a day traveling the island. We did not stop at every stop but most of them. We enjoyed the stories and music and the island history. It was a great intro to our first day on the island and gave us ideas of places we would like to go back to. I don’t think our kids would have enjoyed it as much… lots of sitting in the car.
Fantastic guided tour

5.00Being used to having a car, driver and guide to get the most of our touring, this travel guide delivered an awesome experience. Easy to use and very informative and interesting. We visited sights and locations we would have totally missed without the guide.
Best Circle Tour!

5.00If you rent a car, this is THE BEST island tour you can do. Its worth every penny and you avoid spending $120+ per person on those circle tours. The tour has 3 starting points, so just drive to the closest one to you and start from there. Your tour guide literally guides you step by step on where you need to go, where to turn etc. what I love about it is that you are on your own time, you do what you want and skip what you want. I highly recommend this tour, give it a shot it’s just $20, you’ll save yourself a lot of money and you will enjoy it.
