5.00Jimmy showed us Oahu in a very comfortable car. He was engaged, animated, very knowledgeable and a great conversation list. We had a great time.
Jimmy is the best!!

5.00Jimmy was absolutely amazing!!! He was so kind, knowledgeable about the island, and took his time with us. We spent the entire day exploring, seeing so many breathtaking views, hidden gems, and made memories that will last a life time. I can't recommend him enough! Worth every penny! It was so nice not be on a crowded tour bus. Jimmy felt like our best friend from the second we met him. Pay a little extra and do the private tour with Jimmy! You won't regret it! He took lots of pictures and videos of us throughout the day which we were priceless. Mahalo Jimmy for making our trip so memorable!!! You're truly a special person who will forever have a special place in our hearts ❤️ The Missouri Sisters ♥️
Superb tour with Jimmy

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re from Argentina and spent a few days in Oahu for our honeymoon — and our full-day tour with Jimmy was simply unforgettable. He picked us up right on time and took us through all the must-see spots around the island — from Pearl Harbor and Halona Blowhole to the stunning views at Makapuʻu Lookout and the famous Leonard’s Malasada truck (a stop we couldn’t miss!). We finished the day at Waimea Bay watching one of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve ever seen. Beyond the amazing itinerary, what made the experience so special was Jimmy himself — friendly, fun, and deeply knowledgeable about Hawaii’s history and culture. He shared stories, took incredible photos of us, and made us feel truly cared for every step of the way. Thanks to him, we discovered the island in the best possible way — with heart, laughter, and meaning. Mahalo, Jimmy, for making our honeymoon so memorable!
Great day out on Oahu!

5.00We had an amazing tour on Oahu with Jimmy of ETOHI! He arrived at the port right on time and brought us to all the places on our wish list safely and comfortably. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and great to hang out with for the day. Having lived on the island for 15+ years, I had several spots I wanted to show my husband that were off the beaten path, and Jimmy was more than happy to take us everywhere. He also suggested a few more stops that were amazing. We never felt rushed and it was one of the highlights of our whole vacation. Mahalo, Jimmy, for your kindness and an awesome day!

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience touring the island with ETOHI! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, comfortable, and enjoyable. Our guide, Jimmy, truly made the day special. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Jimmy shared so much history and local insight that we never would have discovered on our own, and he made the tour both fun and memorable. If you’re visiting Hawaii and want to see the island with someone who really knows and loves it, we highly recommend ETOHI

5.00We had a wonderful experience. Unlike large group tours, Jimmy's tours are highly customizable. He tailors the itinerary to match your interests, allowing you to go at your own pace and spend more time at the places you love. Mahalo, Jimmy, for showing your Oahu.
Total Game Changer, Oahu Hawaii Tour from a Local! - I can never go back to group tours!

5.00I still can’t believe I found this absolute gem of a service! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless. Before the tour even began, our driver Jimmy texted and called us to help plan the perfect itinerary. He was so warm, friendly, and thorough—right away, I could tell we were in good hands. A true local Hawaiian through and through. Jimmy picked us up from our hotel in Waikiki, and from the moment we met him, it felt like we were being shown around by family. We had nine hours booked, and Jimmy made sure to hit every single spot we wanted to visit—including the famous North Shore, Byodo-In Temple, Dole Plantation, Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck, Matsumoto Shaved Ice, Green World Coffee Farm, Kahuku Farms, and yes, even a stop at a Costco (because who doesn’t want to see what it’s like in Hawaii?). I would have taken us 3 different full day tours to see all of these locations!! We were able to do all this with one tour of the island and he somehow made everything feel unhurried, fun, and completely personalized. Jimmy went above and beyond throughout the day. He was amazing with our 4-year-old toddler, kept us laughing with his great sense of humor, helped us take tons of photos and videos, and shared so many fascinating stories about the island, culture, and his own life. Compared to the rushed and generic group tours we’ve done in the past in Oahu, this experience was in a league of its own. Doing the rental cars, self parking(so expensive!), and navigating all on our own—but with a toddler, seemed super stressful and very limiting. Booking Etohi was a total game changer and I can never go back to doing group tours in Hawaii. What really blew us away was how connected Jimmy is across the island—he knew almost everyone at all the local spots, helped us skip long lines!, and even found places completely off the beaten path. At one point, he taught our daughter how to feed birds right from her hand, and even found a guy with a friendly island chicken and asked if my daughter could pet it(she was obsessed)! He helped me pick out all the best Hawaii only snacks at Costco! He remembered I said I loved fishing back home and took us to a lookout just in time to see some locals reeling in a giant catch. He helped us make the most out of every location we stopped at. We even saw 2 rainbows at the Lookout he brought us to. These are the kinds of service, expertise, and magical moments you just don’t get on a group tour. The day flew by, and by the end, we were already calling him “Uncle” That’s how genuine and heartfelt the experience was. A day later, we received all the amazing photos and videos he’d captured—and now, they’re some of our favorite memories from the trip. I rave about this tour to our friends and family. It was the most memorable part of our Oahu Hawaii vacation, and without a doubt, so worth it. If you're looking for a local, personalized, and unforgettable Hawaiian experience in Oahu, Waikiki, Hawaii —skip the overcrowded group tours and book with Jimmy. We’ll definitely be booking with him every time we’re back in town. Mahalo, Jimmy and Etohi —you made our trip truly special.
Incredible tour, even greater guide

5.00My wife and I had an amazing time with Jimmy when we visited Oahu in April. We were able to plan our entire day, see everything we wanted to see, and he even took us to places that were a surprise. We cannot recommend this tour enough and we will definitely tell all of our friends and family to give Jimmy a call if they want a customized tour of the island.
Such an amazing tour.

5.00This experience was so much more than I had anticipated. Jimmy was a phenomenal host. He went above and beyond to make our first trip to Hawaii an amazing one. He kept in touch with our group while helping us create our itinerary. He showed us things that weren't even on our itinerary. He was so knowledgeable of everything he showed us and made us feel so welcome. I would recommend a tour with Jimmy 1000 times over. You won't be disappointed.
Sets the bar high!!!

5.00Jimmy was spectacular!! We had such an amazing time traversing his home island learning about so many of the things that make Oahu, Hawaii what it is.... as well as the foods/drinks. (SOOOO much food and drink, lol) If you are worried at all.... trust me.... he IS worth it!!! We gave Jimmy our must sees and he accomplished them all and a hike too, which his adult son joined us on and helped along the way. We had such an incredible day that we are hoping the rest of our time on the islands is just as great!!
