 Verified Awesome tour I believe it was an affordable price for a family of 4. The ride was very fun and the guides were very friendly. They were very informative as we went thru all the areas. I would definitely recommend them if you’re ever in Waikiki.

 Verified Island Tour The experience was amazing from the moment you step on the bus with the guides cracking jokes to the very knowledgeable explanations on the land and the history that lies on it. The spots that you go to will leave you breathless with how pretty and powerful they are. Some spots I wished I could have stayed longer but the tour allows for a good amount of time in each place. I think the most memorable was being able to go to an amazing temple and cliff jumping at one of the beaches. It did not feel to packed even with a full bus.

 Verified Best tour guide crew ever Dylan and his crew are amazing! They delivered the best service, spoke very wisely about all of the interesting facts of Oahu while we went around the island! I recommend this tour to anyone! Whether you are staying in Oahu for a long or short time and get multiple activities and locations in one single day. This was my first tour ever and I loved it so much. Thank you Dylan, Kepono, and Hawaiian Uncle!!!

 Verified Great tour of Oahu! Amazing experience with our guide, Ryan, and our driver, Shawn! Ryan was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He shared the history, culture, and traditions of the island with genuine passion, giving us a deeper appreciation for the true spirit of Aloha. Shawn made the ride smooth and comfortable, allowing us to relax and enjoy every stop. My family and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Honolulu. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Know before you book

Is snorkeling mandatory?

No! You do not have to snorkel if you don’t want to. The snorkel spot we go to is very shallow — even a child can stand up if they need to. You can relax on the beach, take photos, or enjoy the scenery while others snorkel.

What should I bring?

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, bring reef-safe sunscreen, a swimsuit if you’d like to get in the water, and keep your confirmation handy. We provide snacks, drinks, and snorkel gear.

How long is the tour?

Plan for a full day — roughly 8–10 hours from Waikiki pickup to drop-off. Exact timing varies with traffic, weather, and the day’s flow.
