Oahu Circle Island with Papa P
Raylene K,Mar 28, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Papa P did a wonderful job and was genuinely concerned about everyone’s safety as well as keeping us entertained. He made sure to stop for bathroom breaks and only went to those that were clean. The only thing we weren’t able to do was snorkeling as it wasn’t safe due to the recent storm. We still were able to stop at the beach and see turtles.
Best experience

Grand Circle Tour

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had our other excursion canceled earlier in the week and this tour group accommodated our last-minute booking along with picking us up from the cruise pier and dropping us off at the airport. We even had some carry on luggage they let us bring on. Our guide Papa was great as well. Only down side was the bumpy road and not going to the beach because of poor water conditions but can’t do anything about those things. It was a great last tour on our vacation.
