Took this tour from downtown, I was picked up and dropped off from my hotel pickup was 7:15 am and drop off 4:30pm. Driver was entertaining and gave history of island the entire drive. I feel very connected and knowledgeable with regards to Oahu. The circle island means you go on a large circle counter clockwise to see the entirety of the island. Stops are quick. Time must be used efficiently. Wish I had more time at the dole plantation. I had enough time to eat my dole whip (which is pineapple ice cream). This is a good tour to give you a sense of the island, very scenic, if there are stops you wish to see more of then you can always go back. But wow you cover a lot of ground. Definitely worth it because I could enjoy all the sites even while the bus was moving. It is breath taking. I don’t recommend using a rental car. Parking is rough downtown, garages are super tiny and almost dangerous and not large enough to get a midsize vehicle out of. We returned our rental car because of this. Also if you are downtown Waikiki, there are so many restaurants and everything is walking distance. Take the tours.

The beautiful mountains and the water. Nauuanu Poli lookout was great! Getting to see the whole island was a great experience. Loved the meal we had. Could have used more directions on what to do at Dole. By the time we figured out there was a train, there was no time left.
