Downtown Honolulu Food Tour with 5 Local Favorites Tastings

stephsowl, Sep 2026

Full bellies and full hearts!

Stella was an amazing tour guide and an even better host in introducing Hawaii’s spirit of aloha. Every food stop was thoughtful with local owners and locally produced food. I’d do this tour again and will definitely visit the spots she took us to - as well as the others she recommended.

BEST SNORKEL 🤿 ON THE BIG ISLAND

BEST SNORKEL ON THE BIG ISLAND! Captain Skyler took my lady and I on the best snorkel trip we have ever had. His knowledge of the island, its history, and best spots to go was top tier. My only regret is that we did not book the manta rays with him and sea quest. Highly recommend sea quest and ask for captain skyler as he made an already good trip, the greatest.

The Best Maui 3 Hour Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel

Joanne_S, Sep 2026

Stunning underwater views

Early morning start with Angela and our captain Joey. Off we went to swim with some turtles. Very calm waters and several turtle viewings. Then over to Molikuni. The water was a little more choppy here but wow the views underwater. As clear as being in a fish tank and the water so blue. Lots of fish to see and the trigger fish swim right up to you.Friendly on board. Sandwiches, fruit and soda available and very helpful if you are not the most confident. Would recommend this experience on Maui. The trio is over by 10am so you have the rest of the day ahead.

FUV Self Guided Island Adventure Tour

William_B, Sep 2026

Exhilarating & 💯 Breathtaking

My wife and I aren’t much for shopping or swimming, but put us on an FUV and we’re having a blast instantly!! The FUV is simple to operate and the instructor does a good job making sure you understand. After a quick couple laps we were off to see the beautiful island. Following the guide is basic and the stops breathtaking. Although we didn’t stop to shop at any of the cool local stores or swim the beautiful beaches, my wife and I had the best time…. In fact I’d say it was the most fun of all of the activities we’ve done on the island!

It's a great tour to see the inland. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice, so was the driver. Lots of getting off and on the bus to see the beauty of the area. Showed clips of movies and tv shows, which helped put the picture with the area. I would do it again.

Maui Magical Waterfall and Jungle Tour: Road to Hana

M843ARandrewp, Aug 2026

A memorable Road to Hana family experience

Erik and his dad were fantastic.Erik was knowledgeable and informative without ever being overbearing, giving us a great history of Maui while weaving in his own experiences and stories from the island. It felt natural and conversational rather than like a scripted tour.His dad, who is 84, was an unexpected highlight. He is funny, full of stories, and definitely has the gift of gab. The two of them together gave the day a really personal feel that you just wouldn’t get driving the Road to Hana on your own.The beautiful stops obviously speak for themselves, but having Erik and his dad provide the history, stories and local perspective along the way made the experience that much better.Our whole family had a great time. Highly recommend.

Bush Wacking on Kauai

This is a great tour if you want to get out into the back country away from all the tourists. The guide was excellent and went out of his way to ensure you were enjoying the hike, while ensuring your safety. This tour is well worth the price and if we ever return to Kauai we would book this again.

Oahu Uncovered: Full Island Tour with a Local Guide

Amazing first day at Oahu

December 2024. The tour was excellent! We did a private family island tour. We were picked up at our hotel in a clean suburban suv. Perfect size vehicle for my family of 5. Our tour guide was excellent! We spent the day stopping at local sites and learning the history of Hawaii. Most notable was the Dole Pineapple Plantation, China man’s hat, lunch at the food trucks in Haleiwa Town, and a stop for Malasadas. I can’t say enough good things about this experience!

Absolutely amazing experience!

Today we went on the Speed Drive dolphin swim boat tour and it was honestly AMAZING! Ryan, Ken, Katie and Matthew were all so nice and made the whole experience even better. We learned so much about dolphins and I’m so grateful to all of them. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience!Everything was so well organized, the weather was perfect, and honestly, I can already tell this is going to be one of the best memories of my life. 🥹🌺I 10000% recommend this company and I would definitely do it all over again! 🐬💙
