The tour was our first activity after landing and we are glad it was. We received so much history knowledge by our tour guide by the end of our trip , that when we did are other activities we connected the dots.. I would highly recommend doing this first from personal preference and experience. The stops where amazing. I would recommend touring Dole separately as you are not able to hop on the train or do the maze because of limited time

There were some good moments on this tour. It was very neat to see the beach featured in the film From Here to Eternity and the blowhole nearby. We also really enjoyed the Japanese temple in the cemetery. But other than that, we found the tour to be kind of mediocre. The main problem was that it just seems like we spent so, so much time riding on a bus, and that time wasn’t balanced with much room for exploration at each site. We were also disappointed in the waterfall, which was barely a trickle due to a drought. That of course is not the tour company’s fault, but I get the sense that even when the waterfall has more water running, it is not all that impressive compared to many other waterfalls I have seen in the world. The shrimp lunch wasn’t great either, in my opinion. Finally, I found our tour guide to be kind of arrogant. As a white guy narrating the local history of Oahu, I think he should be careful about that.

Aloha Lindsay, In order to travel 120 miles around the beautiful island of O'ahu and to spend several hours at the incredible Waimea Valley, 45 minutes for a delicious lunch(over 90% of our guests have given the lunch and tour 5 stars) and 30 minutes at Byodo Temple, The Pali Lookout, Halona and Sandy Beach plus 45 minutes at Dole, guest have to travel in the luxury, comfortable and air conditioned bus between those stops. Yes, Hawaii, like many other places in the world is in a severe drought that affects its waterfalls. Angel Falls, Niagra and Victoria Falls among others are certainly more impressive that Waimea Falls, but the important thing is how incredibly beautiful the thousands of tropical trees ,plants and flowers at Waimea are. Also the very interesting cultural highlights at Waimea should be of equal interest for visitors. Our guides, regardless of race, are the most highly educated guides in Hawaii and are all very aware of any issues on how to narrate O'ahu's local history. They are the best in the business:) With Aloha,

I learned so much from Greg, about Oahu from its past to present history. He is very knowledgeable and engaging. It was nice to visit some new as well as familiar places. Additionally, receiving The “Nature on O’ahu” book is a nice added touch. I look forward to reading it to improve my understanding of the nature on this beautiful island. Thanks to Greg and our driver for a wonderful and worthwhile day. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends, family, and colleagues. Keep up the good work. Regards Robert

Siena and driver Kim were great - Siena’s commentary throughout the day was really interesting and informative. I especially enjoyed the James Cook story. The Buddhist temple was very relaxing and the Dole Pineapple experience was fun. It was great to see titles on a beach but even better to see one swimming in the sea. Thanks for a great tour!

Sienna was an awesome guide but we decided for the waterfall instead of snorkeling and it turns out the waterfall is dry and there was no water. If there had been water you couldn’t swim anyway because of bacteria in water. The tour was good and informative but waterfall was a let down.

Aloha Maria, Thanks for your review. The summer season is the dry season in Hawaii but there is still some storms and hurricane remnants that cause significant rainfall on some summer days. It is very unpredictable . Many of our guests really enjoy the beautiful tropical trees and flowers as well as the very interesting Hawaiian cultural information at Waimea Valley . We do advise our guests about the possibility of Leptospirosis bacteria in the water. It is fairly rare but we think it best to advise our guests so they can make a informed decision about swimming at the waterfall. I advise to swim in the ocean instead:)

Some good, but mostly not impressed
Tracie_C

Jo Jo and Anthony were great, but I just can’t recommend this tour. I’ve booked tours all over the world and just wasn’t impressed with this one. The morning was A LOT of driving, just to see a few beaches & look outs. Yes, it was gorgeous, but 4 hours of driving, for this? The temple was very nice. I was pleased with that. But then the waterfall. We hiked about 40 minutes to see a trickle of water down a ledge. I was expecting so much more. Same at the Dole plantation. I was very excited to go, but we were told not to do the maze or the train. So really, we just stopped to have some dole whip and visit the gift shop. I would have much preferred to just rent a car and have done it on our own.

Aloha Tracie, Thanks for your 5 star excellent review of Jojo, Anthony and our Ultimate Circle Island Adventure with Waimea Waterfall:) The coastal drive is definitely one of the most beautiful drives in the world based on my experience traveling all around our planet. From Waikiki to Byodo temple takes about three hours including all the fantastic stops. In order to provide stops at these beautiful locations, we have to cover 120 miles of excellent scenic roads on O'ahu. I understand your disappointment with the ephemeral waterfall but low rainfall in the summer is expected. Sorry you did not seem to enjoy the amazing gardens and Hawaiian cultural displays at Waimea Valley. Visiting this spectacular Tropical Rainforest location and seeing thousands of colorful trees and plants and the very interesting Hawaiian displays is a highlight for many of our guests. We do not allow our guests to do the maze or train because we need to be back in Waikiki by 6-6:30 PM. The tour is meant to show our guests the highlights of O'ahu and if they find a place they really like, they can go back on there own another day. By renting a car and doing it on your own you would have not been able to have the excellent narration you complimented Jojo for or the professional driving of Anthony. We provide a great fully narrated tour with a professional narrator and highly trained driver and our guests have everything paid for including transportation , admission fees and lunch. Many of our guests enjoy the tour because they meet people from all over the world and can develop some new friendships. All the best,

It was an amazing tour around the city! The nature is quite stunning and we really saw a lot from the Island in just one day! It is a great way to come around without a renting car. Our guide Jojo did an really great job. He told us a lot of stories (from his aunties 😊) and gave us many informations about the Island. We could really say he loves doing his job and I loved listen to him. We could definitely recommend this tour for everyone! Our Highlight was seeing turtles on the beach!!!
