👍👍 Where do I start?? If you have any doubts about booking this tour, just do it! Robert has it all for you and will make sure your day is exactly what you want to get out of it.

👍👍 This was AWESOME! Adam was so great to work with. We had a full day after a cruise and before flight out. Adam worked with us and made sure we would see Hawaii. Emily was an amazing guide.

Hawaii Free Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 Very glad we spent the morning on the "Off the Beaten Path" food tour with our guide Victor.

Sail Honu Hawaii

Boat tour agency

👍👍 Sailed with Nick and Mike on a 2 hour tour that was exceptional. Nick is extremely knowledgeable and very willing to share that knowledge if you are interested. The boat is a 20ft by 31ft catamaran and one of the fastest sail powered vessels in O'ahu traveling at 20+ mph. We had a perfect day for...

👍👍 Our day on the water with Waikiki Catamaran Charters and Captain Jonathan was the highlight of our trip and might just be a new family tradition!

Ko'olau Distillery

👍👍 Didn't do the tour. Just stopped in ad hoc. Cool place in a small industrial area. They had just finished distilling a new lavender gin and we were the first to taste it!! They have a happy hour with some featured cocktails. Perfect. Highly recommended!!

ISKCON Hawaii

Hindu temple

👍👍 It is not a Hindu Temple. The Hare Krishna's are not Hindus! Anyway, I really enjoyed my time here and especially my time spent with Srutakirti Das and the other devotees. If you are into spiritual life then don't miss visiting this wonderful place.

KOS Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 Amazing experience for Lost fans. You'll be brought to key filming locations. Like we have, the island has changed over time; recognisable landmarks have either aged or been modified. But that doesn't make the experience any less rewarding. One recommendation: schedule a separate trip to Papa'lloa B...

Manini Dive Company Hawaii

SCUBA tour agency

😠 This dive experience was unsafe. Basic practices were neglected (including the 3 minute safety stop). We were not given any demonstrations or in the water practice before descending. “2 dives” is just 2 dives at the same site. For the first one we didn’t even leave the rope. For context, there wer...
