I scheduled this tour for our first full day because I knew we would be a bit tired from the long 10 hour fight to Oahu.

Cancelled by tour operator

CHERYL, Sep 2023

I have no memories of the trip because it didn't happen. The tour operator cancelled the trip because they had a shortage of drivers. This was about 1 hour after I booked it and it was confirmed. Why would they advertise a tour if they couldn't provide it? Still waiting on my refund.

Pleasant

JIll_K, Sep 2023

Very nice excursion. We had a very nice time. We saw a lot of nice places and had a great lunch. The macadamia nut farm was very nice and so was the Dole plantation. It was a good day.

More training required

Advil_J, Aug 2023

Nice driver but very little knowledge of the tour and sites. Was distracted by her phone while driving. Ww felt aa if the tour waa not worth the money that was paid. Needed an assistant since this was only her 2nd tour. Please provide more training for this employee.

North shore tour is worth taking and enjoyable.

Deborah_G, Jul 2023

Sierra was a very knowledgeable tour guide. She gave us lots of information about the island. She is native to the island. Took us to many places to show what the north shore has to offer. She helped us all she could.

Awesome Tour

Everett_O, Apr 2023

The most memorable part of the tour was stopping at all of the beautiful look out points. We also got to see the sea turtles climb ashore and get their rest

Stunning Views

Sandra_S, Mar 2023

Loved this tour! Coastline was absolutely stunning. Our tour guide Johnny was friendly, funny and well versed everything Hawaii. The tour bus was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Best tour guide and scenery ever

Angela_W, Mar 2023

My husband and I enjoyed every moment of this tour. Sierra was our guide. She was very educated and informative on everything we saw. What was even more exciting is we were from the same hometown. The tour was beautiful…...I would recommend this to our family and friends back home in Colorado. Hopefully, they would get Sierra as their tour guide.

Disappointed.

wiki1950, Mar 2023

After I got home, I started looking at my paperwork for this tour. At the time, I thought we were supposed to stop at more places. Finally, sitting down to look at the tour, several items I am disappointed in. First, he drove right by us for pickup even though I was in the right place. So the tour was late starting. Several places we didn’t stop at - Waikiki War Museum, Laniakea Beach, Sunset Beach park and Haleiwa town center. We stopped at the Dole plantation but did not get a guided tour. What places we did stop at we enjoyed and everyone enjoyed Austin, our tour guide.

Daniel was awesome!

Nicole_M, Mar 2023

I’m so glad we decided to do this tour! We learned so much and even better we got to see some beautiful beaches!! We even got to see turtles up close and a couple whales in the distance. Daniel was great. Very personable. Wish we would have done this earlier in our trip, we would have definitely booked another trip with them!

Amazing Island Adventure

Lydia_z, Mar 2023

Highly recommended this tour to anyone visits Honolulu. DanielsHawaii Tour is such a great company. They didn't cancel our tour for the requirement of minimum number of people on the tour. We ended up having our private tour in a luxury van. We were so impressed with our tour guide /driver Christine! She is so friendly, thoughtful and professional. We really enjoyed her telling us the history of Honolulu and some interesting little stories about local attractions. She also taught us some Hawaiian words. We visited many different places with the breathtaking views. My mom and I had a wonderful time especially for mom's first time visiting Hawaii. Thank you so much Christine, you are the best!!! :)

Exceptional Experience

Brigetta_T, Dec 2022

This was an exciting tour and the guide was knowledgeable. Even in the rain we were treated well. Learned a lot about the island. Add this tour to your experience, you won't regret it.

Fabulous North Shore Tour with Tyler!

Lynne_P, Dec 2022

Tyler was the best tour guide! We had a fabulous time! So much to see and hear. Hard to remember all of the fun facts he shared with us.
