Oahu Tours & Sightseeing

Michael we a great tour guide! My family and I had a blast and at the same time it was very educational .

Fabulous for a private tour, splitting costs with your own private group. Very knowledgeable, flexible and fun! Have used Halia tours both times on our visits here and will definitely use again, highly recommend.

Capt. Patrick and crew were great and attentive. Our pickup driver from Hale Koa Redort was excellent (name would ruin in spelling). Food good, but not gourmet. Good time.

Amazing experience in our private charter, swimming with dolphins and around the corals. They were so generous and we were given extra time to give us another chance to encounter the dolphins. Worth every penny!

We had an absolutely amazing experience. Our guides, Alex, Mikki and Matt, were very knowledgeable on Marine animals. Not only did we spot dolphins in the wild and eagle ray and were able to swim with them, but I enjoyed them sharing their knowledge about animal behaviour and learning about it. It was important to not just being able to see them in the wild but also learning how to respect them. A magical excursion.

Great attention to details. Very attentive service both from driver and Tour guide. Great photography

Enjoyable snorkeling and whale watching. Nice boat views of the sunset with a nice dinner. Would recommend to anyone looking for some ocean activities.

A few friends and I went on a private snorkeling charter with Captain Chris and had an absolutely unforgettable time! Not only was Captain Chris (and his first mate) remarkably knowledgable about the Hawaiian marine life and local waters, he also made us feel extremely safe the whole day. Most importantly, because Captain Chris and Ocean Therapy only take out small groups, we got to see and do everything the big boats offer but in a small, intimate setting. We already can’t wait to come back and go out with Ocean Therapy again! Thank you so much Captain Chris!!

took us to many beautiful places, It is recommended that we wear brightly colored clothes. We met at the agreed place. Jade was very professional and had delicious food. Thank you JADE.

To see all the different attractions they show the beauty of the island. I didn’t feel rushed. Having the one-on-one experience allows you to ask questions and really get to know the island and the attractions. The tour guide (Sergei) was phenomenal and his knowledge was second to none.

The team at Rainbow Helicopter’s were second to none. Communication was great leading up to the booking and on the day. Cannot recommend this company high enough, so glad we booked with them!

Harley and the rest of the rainbow crew were amazing! They helped make my proposal unique and memorable. The views and knowledge of the crew were outstanding. Enjoyed the whole trip!

If you want a tour in Oahu do yourself a favor and book with Michael. He’s extremely knowledgable, fun, accommodating, and responsive. Our family of 10 did 2 custom tours and both were top notch. The stories he told, the local food spots, and activity recommendations were invaluable to making our first time Hawaii experience unforgettable.

We joined the 6 hour trip with Wild Side and it was amazing!!! The communication and preparations before the trip was top notch, and the trip itself was unbeatable. We started at 6am and the morning was a tranquil visit to all the animals in the ocean. Our guides were Connor and Bethany, and they are knowledgeable naturalists and wonderful guides who took good care of us inside and outside of the water. Captain Kim knew we were birders and wanted to take photos of the shearwaters, boobys, and albatrosses and she always positioned the boat while giving us the best and most stable view for photography, while maintaining a respectful distance to the animals to avoid stressing them. We went out to Ka’ena point and had a great view of the Laysan albatross colony. There is truly nothing like having an albatross fly overhead. Along the way, we saw spotted dolphins actively feeding and playing, and also saw spinner dolphins! Seeing the monk seal lounging on the beach was a bonus. The wedge tail shearwaters had just returned so they were busy on the water. We also found masked boobys and brown booby feeding. We also saw turtles at their cleaning station! Connor and Bethany were knowledgeable about the landscape and the ecology and shared wonderful information. They are genuinely the nicest people! Highly recommended. The boat is comfortable and we were taking care of by the team (beverages, snacks, fruits, pastries). Thank you!

From initial contact to request a private charter, to communication after the trip about photos, we had nothing but amazing communication and experience with every person we met at Wild Side. Tori was very helpful, responsive and friendly in our conversations to set up the excursion and helped him answer my questions due to the recent storms. The day of the excursion our guides were Bethany and Mickie and our captain was Kim. Bethany and Mickie had so much knowledge to share about the dolphins and whales and other wildlife in the area, and made sure to point out anything they so we wouldn’t miss anything. Even though the conditions weren’t perfect, we were able to get in the water. My daughter and niece had dolphin swim right past them close to the surface while I saw a small family about 10 feet below me. It was such a special experience! On board the crew did their utmost to make sure we were as comfortable as possible and had plenty of snacks and drinks and comfort items for anyone feeling seasick. Cannot recommend them enough for an experience that is more than a snorkeling excursion. It was immersive and educational as well, and I definitely looked forward to joining them for another excursion sometime!

Professional but fun staff. Our 2 year old loved the “fast” boat and especially seeing all the wildlife. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, a turtle, a pair of monk seals and several spotted eagle rays, plus all the fish while snorkeling ! It was spectacular! Highly recommended
