AMAZING - OMG!!!!!! I Cannot over emphasize how fantastic this tour is!!!! Capt Vince is the ULTIMATE Guide!!!! I mean you just made a best friend for life. The tour is 9 hrs that the Captain made seem like just minutes. So much information and fun laughs. To tell the truth I was sad to the point of jerking a tear to say goodbye to Capt Vince. One of the best human being I've ever met. Truly a blessing to know this man. Highly Highly Highly recommend this company and this tour. If you go anywhere else, it's your mistake.

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.
