Amazing tour
Reviewed by: Deborah Tonge , 2024/03/17We booked this tour for the day before we left for home .
The trip and the wealth of knowledge Brandon imparted was so good we really did wish we had booked it at the very start of our trip so we could take advantage of all the tips and suggestions he made to maximise our experience whilst visiting the island .
Every stop we made added to our fabulous experience of the island . My only wish having now taken the tour was to have the bus stop on the north shore for 15 mins maybe to fully experience the fabulous waves we only saw from the bus window ..
Brandon was a wealth of knowledge and kept the bus engaged at all times .

Wonderful day.
Reviewed by: Rania, 2022/11/27It was a wonderful day that we felt sorry when we were back to our hotels. Our guide was amazing. He was wonderful storyteller. We enjoyed every moment. We saw breathtaking views, ate the tastiest shrimps ever. We also enjoyed the best Dole Whip from plantation center.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we will be sure to forward them to your guide too! : ))) Mahalo Nui Loa Cecilia

Best tour ever.
Reviewed by: Gilles Binda, 2022/11/01Greg is the best tour guide we have ever had on a tour. He was so knowledgeable and funny. He went out of his way to make our tour so great. He also ensured that my daughter had a shrimp plate that responded to her food allergies.
Hi Gilles,
Thanks! for giving Gregg and our Ultimate Circle Island with Waimea Waterfall Adventure 5 stars:)
Everyone at Oahu Nature Tours is grateful that we can provide excellent tours for guests like you.

Awesome trip!
Reviewed by: Jen K, 2022/06/25This was an amazing trip and we had a wonderful guide Jo-jo who was super knowledgeable about all aspects of hawaii cultural, history, plants, food, birds etc...The bus was nice and air conditioned and the time stopping off at each location was just right. An 11 hour day is a long day but it didn't feel like it because we were so loving every step of the trip and jojo's stories and support was great!
Hi Jen,
Thanks for your excellent review of Jojo and our Ultimate Circle Island Adventure & Waimea Waterfall !
Everyone working at Oahu Nature Tours is very grateful:)
Aloha

Good way to see the North Shore of Oahu and get out of Waikiki!
Reviewed by: Karen, 2019/08/26This was our first time in Hawaii so we wanted to see as much of Oahu as we could and this tour was a great way to do it. Our driver/tour guide/waiter Steve was excellent; filling us in with fun facts about Waikiki and the places we passed along the way, recommendations for activities and places to eat and restroom breaks along the way! Highlights were the chilli garlic shrimp lunch and the green sea turtle we saw sun-baking on the beach and the ones bobbing up and down in the sea! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the North Shore and get out of Waikiki.
Hi Karen,
Thanks! for your 5 star review of Steve, your great recommendation and our adventure!

Awesome Falls
Reviewed by: Kelly, 2019/03/30When we first got on our tour and the guide introduced himself I didn't hold out much hope of learning anything from someone who said they had only lived in Hawaii for 3 years but Steve turned out to be a fountain of knowledge. He made the day an extremely enjoyable one, so much information given and funny too. he should also release his soundtrack to the Circle Tour, he had a song for every stop it was awesome! My only criticism would be too many beach photo stops not enough time at Waimea Waterfall and Dole Plantation.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for your 5 star review of Steve and our adventure.
Aloha,
Michael

Tour and guide were exceptional
Reviewed by: Luis, 2018/05/03We had a great experience. I went with my girlfriend, mom, and grandmother.
The tour gave us a good idea of the places we'd like to visit the next few days. Our tour guide, I think he name was Paul, was kind, knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and provided good advice for activities we could do the next few days.

Outstanding Tour
Reviewed by: Jano , 2018/03/11Tori enhanced the tour with her energy and knowledge! The stop at Fumi’s was my favorite. There just happened to be several hula dancers and a musician that sang for a couple that got engaged. The shrimp was ono! The ube popsicle, too! Waimea Falls was also a treat. There was even a Farmers Market with local fruit and food. Gotta try the ice cream bananas. So good!
