Oahu’s Stunning Views: Half-Day Scenic Tour with 7 Lookouts

Daniel_B, Sep 2026

Great Way to See Oahu in 4 Hours

Had a great experience on this morning’s 4-hour island tour! We covered a ton of beautiful spots without feeling rushed, and still had plenty of time left in the day to enjoy Honolulu on our own.Our tour guide was incredibly welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. Pickup and drop-off were communicated very clearly, and even when there was an unexpected emergency on the road involving a fire and multiple emergency vehicles redirecting traffic, he called us directly and kept everyone informed.The group was friendly, the tour was well organized, and we got to see so much in just four hours. It was the perfect balance of sightseeing without taking up the entire day. Highly recommend!

Excellent driver/guide to Pearl Harbor

We had a great driver/guide, Finney who told us all about the Arizona and the events leading up to December 8th.He brought us to the Punchbowl cemetery. Excellent service. I would highly recommend taking the tour instead of trying to find your way there.

We had an excellent time and it was so cool picking up our luggage and seeing our names on the sign. Our driver was excellent, gave us recommendations to eat and visit and even how living in Hawaii is. The van was comfortable and clean and driver was super friendly. Would highly recommend especially if this is your first time to the islands.

Oahu: Roundtrip Shuttle From Waikiki to Dole Plantation & Haleiwa

Michaela_B, Sep 2026

Amazing experience!

Amazing tour, by far the best tour we booked. Our tour guide, Marvie, was prompt for every arrival/drop off. Dole was an amazing experience, and Marvie dropped us off right when they opened, so we could take the first train ride. I would personally recommend only booking one or two of the three activities at Dole upon arrival (train, garden, maze) as you will not have time for all three. Jenny's Shrimp Shack was THE BEST. Every stop on this tour was well thought out and executed.

Oahu: Mauka Warriors Luau Honoring Polynesia’s Forgotten History

Michaela_B, Sep 2026

Amazing and worth the drive and price

What an amazing luau! We originally booked a different luau closer to the city; however, this advertisement appeared on social media as one of the best near Waikiki-the advertisement was 100% correct. From the moment you arrive, the hospitality is "on-point." Likewise, you have a wide range of pre-luau activities to participate in (vendors, free photos, Polynesian tattoos, and many more). The show is absolutely amazing, and the fire dancers are very talented. The food is ok; however, I'm sure this is typical of luaus of this size. This luau is well worth the price- book the package with the transportation, as Ubers from the city are quite pricey
