Oahu Circle Island and Snorkeling Tour

I rarely write bad reviews but this tour is really mediocre. I think my expectations were different due to this inaccurate dis rip toon of the tour. First of all, this tour doesn’t pick you up if you are staying on the west side of the island. Only Waikiki area. They should be more clear. They dont confirm until within 24hrs so if something doesn’t work out for you, like our pick up - you can’t cancel since it’s within 24hrs. We ended up taking a Uber back and forth which was additional 100 dollars. Then the tour advertised going to diamond head and secret falls and beaches… we drove by diamond head.. we were shown the residential street that will ultimately lead to diamond head… no history or anything lol… we stopped by a scenic look out where you can’t see the diamond head or the light house.. I was so confused. There are a lot of point out for the celebrity homes which I’m not a fan of. Just personal preference, I’d rather learn about the island and it’s history than seeing rich people houses.. Last thing I was surprised was all the shopping stops we had… we were dropped off at a few shops to “buy” things, which is really a waste of time and stuff are not cheap. Reminded me of those Chinese tours that makes you buy things at certain stores because they take a cut out of it. Highlight of this tour would be they provided snorkel equipment if you need for 30 mins of snorkeling. Didn’t see much though. Also we were constantly stopping for food as well, which we did try a few local eats so that was good. We also stopped by at dole Plantation to grab ice cream. Enough time if you don’t care for the plantation tour or the Pineapple Express(but we had a toddler so we have to come back for the train later). Lastly, Our tour guide was very nice and funny.

Driver was excellent and very friendly, too much to eat ;), not enough time for snorkeling, but any other time will take this again

I have taken this tour before. This one by far the most entertaining and interesting thanks to our tour guide, Paulo. He also goes by Papi P. His humor and stories made the tour very enjoyable. He is also a great singer!

Snorkeling with the turtles, shrimp lunch, amazing beaches, learning the history of the island! Had the best full day!!

Amazing trip. Pablo the guide was awesome and very friendly . Highly recommend if you have children . Not a lot of walking and thats what we needed

The Oahu circle tour was amazing. The scenery and learning the Hawaii culture and history was phenomenal. The tour guide Kanoa "misty waters" made you feel welcomed. She was the best part of tour.

The company instead of picking us up at our hotel made us walk a long distance until another hotel just to save some time. I didn’t see the guide go any other hotel to grab the passengers. So next time don’t say that they pick up at the hotel.

Johnny, our guide did his best, but the sheer nature of this tour was not a good fit for our family of 5 with three high school kids. Also, the tour agent was not really responsive to the “only” contact method: text messages. I did not get my questions answered even after the tour ended. Not acceptable.

The beauty of the Island is breathtaking. However, the tour was not what I was expecting. The guide took us to snorkel where the water was so rough that I packed my things and went back to the bus. Also, the air conditioner on the bus did not work which made the trip miserable. Too much time spent driving.

Such a great experience with KING MIKE. His kindness will forever be remembered. He made us feel like family!
