Would do it again! - We had a very enjoyable experience on our Circle island tour. It was a long day but a great way to see the entire island. Our guide David was precious and was a great historian, he let our 15 year old sit in the front seat and talked to her throughout the trip.

Captain Vince is the Best! - After looking at many options in Oahu, we decided on this one, and we're so glad we did! It provided good time at the places we were most interested in--Byodo-In Temple and Waimea Valley Botanical Gardens and Waterfall. We walked through the botanical garden and had fun swimming in the lagoon formed by the waterfall. Some other members of the group chose to swim in the ocean instead of going to the waterfall, and Captain Vince accommodated them. We had a number of other fun stops. The communication was excellent both before and during the tour. I would highly recommend this tour. It was fun to sit back and let Captain Vince worry about the traffic and entertain us.

Hawaii in 8hrs - Thank you for the lovely memories. Captain Vince's energy and engagement from start to finish were impeccable. So informative and entertaining at the same time, about Hawaii, the land (Aina) to the Mauna and Wai. I learned so much from this day tour. They were well organised, and top customer care.
Justin, Captain Vince 's Co Tour Guide, A native and local Hawaiian. Very knowledgeable about his people, and all other diverse cultures on the archipelago. Their origins, the myths, the facts and most importantly, what one looks for in these activities.
He was so engaging, passionate about his culture and really good at teaching others about Hawaii. He was very personable. The whole day was a vibe and truly by the end I understood Ohana!
I highly recommend their services.
The A team, Aloha

Amazing - Justin was above amazing. I would highly recommend taking this tour! I liked that it didn't feel like a "tourist trap". He's a guy who is from here and lives here and is just showing us his beautiful home. Book this and you will not be disappointed.

A tourist tat shop tour not a sightseeing tour - Justin was great and very informative but I felt the tour wasn’t worth it. I came away feeling like I’d seen almost nothing. We passed lots of amazing views but never slow enough to take a picture. We didn’t even stop at a beach- I asked if we could and was told the tour doesnt include that (weird to come to Hawaii and not see a beach)
Basically we stopped only at shops - which nobody on the tour wanted - we all expressed wanting to see Hawaii not shops. But first stop souvenir shop, then a donut shop, a shrimp stall, a nut shop, a fruit shop and the ultimate waste of time - 30 minutes in Dole gift shop(not the plantation as advertised) a tacky shop of plastic pineapple themed crap. No time to stop at a scenic viewpoint but plenty of time to fleece tourists in below par tacky tourist hellholes. America loves taking your money - I’d say keep it and don’t take these tours.
