Lisa was the most energetic and knowledgeable tour guide we could have had! Her tour in the Shaxi gave us such great access to the local scene throughout Waikiki. A highlight of our trip - highly recommend!

Fun and Informative

Dominick_A, Jul 2023

This was the perfect tour of Waikiki, with great tour guides. We learned about all of the nice restaurants, shops, bakery’s and much more. It is also a great way to get some history on Waikiki. The hike at the end is a great way to end it, it is very fulfilling once you’re able to see the amazing view from the top. In conclusion I would definitely recommend this tour as it is very informative and has spectacular guides that will make this a fun and informative experience for all.

Best Tour Guides Ever

Lisa & Michael did a wonderful job on this tour. They are friendly, informative and care very much about the experience for you.

Informational and So Beautiful!

Katie_w, Jun 2023

This was a great tour that we got to do on our first full day in Waikiki! Lisa and Michael showed us all the great areas of the city and gave us a lot of cool facts and information on the different areas to visit while here! Lisa got AWESOME pictures of us the whole tour which was so great and very appreciated! The hike up to Diamond Head was so beautiful and the sights were breathtaking! I would 100% recommend this tour as one of the first to do!

Shaxi was GREAT!!!! Thank you Michael and Lisa!

William_W, Dec 2022

Shaxi was awesome to work with! After originally booking, it became apparent that the hike on Friday morning was going to experience some rain. After messaging Shaxi, Michael reached out right away and worked with me to change the time and day to a sunnier option :). Lisa and Michael went out of their way to make me feel like royalty on their tour. Such an easy fun filled tour which included a tour of Waikiki, Diamond Head hike, and then finishing with the famous Leonard's Bakery :). A perfect 3 to 4 hour excursion while in Oahu :). Don't hesitate to book with Shaxi!

Great … highly recommend

Debbie_B, Nov 2022

Hiking Diamond Head … and Lisa’s jammed packed info and her tour ……………. Great photo opportunities ………….thanks!

Very enjoyable experience

Thomas_W, Oct 2022

We enjoyed all of the stops and notable landmarks around Waikiki. Our tour guide was messing and extremely knowledgeable regarding the rich history surrounding the island. The Diamondhead hike was absolutely beautiful, and can easily be completed within the amount of time allowed. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience filled with perfect Waikiki Kodak moments!

Super fun and great experience!

Ashley_C, Aug 2022

We had an amazing time!!! We had our tour split up due to a big event coming to town and Shaxi wanting to give us the best experience! Well they totally did! We had Lisa for a sunset tour and she was absolutely fabulous! She was so knowledgeable and fun! It felt like we were roaming around town with a best friend! We had Michael take up to Diamond Head for the second part of the tour. He was super nice and helpful. We truly appreciate them both giving us an excellent experience! Would recommend Shaxi to anyone looking for a fun way to see the area!

Shaxi Tour with Lisa

Roslyn_T, Jul 2022

Lisa was awesome, friendly informative and made our tour so enjoyable and memorable. Recommend this unique experience to everyone.

Take this tour!!!!

Donna_W, Jul 2022

Please take this tour when you first arrive.....it will set you up for a great rest of your vacation!!!! You see all of Waikiki and if Lisa is your guide you will be entertained while hearing all about the people and the history of the area. My favorite part was the Natatorium stop.....they need to figure out how to restore that to greatness ASAP!!! Also, Leonard's of course. The hike is a bit more intense than you might think. Super fun tour!

Amazing experience

Nerea_O, Jul 2022

Diamond Head

Debra_S, May 2022

We are in are 60s and we are not exercise buffs. We walked to the top. We may have had more rests but we made it to the top. Beautiful sights at top of Diamond Head. The driver of the shaxi gave us a tour. She drove us around & gave us great info. Also, she made stops for photos & places of interest. She also sent us photos of the sights we had visited.

Awesome!

rosechengmd, Apr 2022

Easy, safe and a one of a kind way to see Waikiki and do the Diamond Head hike! It was not as stifling as a coach bus would have been. The Shaxi car was an open air electric vehicle uniquely decorated that drove us around. Lisa was on time, a great tour guide and very entertaining! She also took and sent a lot of photos of our tour.

Enjoyed it!

Carla_R, Apr 2022

My husband and I did this tour while on our trip and we enjoyed it. There was a little confusion as we thought our tour guide was going to come on the diamond head hike with us but she only dropped us off there and picked up back up. But she took us on a tour around a lot of the area and took many pictures of us! She was super kind and informational. We love the pictures we got from her and the different areas she took us too!

Get a taste of the local scene!

Tracey_M, Mar 2022

Great time.

Gregory_R, Mar 2022

Lisa was a great guide, took a lot of pictures and was very informative. We had a great time. Hike was a little rough near the top but so worth it. Amazing views once you’re up there.

Awesome time!

Thao_T, Feb 2022

Nice

Yuliya_K, Feb 2022

Beautiful woman showed incredible views, nice atmosphere, can get any useful information. It was Cool 😎 👌

Highly Recommend!

Laura_L, Feb 2022

Wish I could give this tour 10 stars…Michael was wonderful!! This was not our first time to Hawaii and although we had hiked Diamond Head before we wanted to see if we could still do it. We figured instead of walking there we would combine it with a tour and are glad we did. Michael was very informative pointing out places of interest we had seen before and many we had not. He gave us the history of everything but not to the point where we lost interest. He took the time to get pictures of us at each stop on his phone and then at the end of the tour airdropped them to us….considering we are still dealing with Covid I thought this was genius! After Michael dropped us back at our hotel he texted us an extremely long detailed list of restaurants and highlights to see and do for the rest of our vacation…so thoughtful and very appreciated! If you are considering this tour I recommend you do it early in your vacation so you have time to check out Michaels recommendations. Mahalo! 🤙🌺🌴
