What do people say about Aloha Circle Island Tours?

We were a group of 26 family and friends of different ages who came from Sydney and places in the US to gather for a memorial for our loved one. Joe was great to liaise with to organise our airport transfers and to co-ordinate our memorial event. The event itself was everything I could ask for and Joe took us to various places in Oahu leaving Waikīkī at 8.30am and not returning until 6.30pm. Joe was a big personality who was a wealth of knowledge and kept us all entertained and kept the vibe fun. Joe co-ordinated our return airport transfers as our group was leaving at different times and also took some group members to other places as they arranged with him. We communicated via email and WhatsApp and Joe was always prompt to response and keep me informed. I would highly recommend this business for any tours, personalised tours or airport transfer they are a local family business who want to ensure you have a great experience on your trip to Hawaii.

Our guide was the best. He told the history of the island and the many places we stopped. He also made sure we had enough breaks and enough time to take plenty of pictures. There was plenty to see and do and it was a really enjoyable day!

Had a great time with Kapeana, our tour guide. He made pick up right on time, and made sure everyone was accounted for at the pick up points. It’s a great way to see the island and hit a lot of attractions at once. The guide was very knowledgeable about the island. The pacing was really nice, not spending extended time on the bus between attractions. More time at the Mac Nut Farm would’ve been welcomed as we didn’t have long to sample and browse the store. We did run into a rescheduling due to maintenance but the change was made easily. Also I was asked to participate in a webinar at the time of rescheduling that sounded like a timeshare pitch but respectfully declined and didn’t feel pressured afterwards. Thanks for a great tour of Oahu!!

Apparently, Aloha Circle Island Tours has partnered up with Nui Tours for our particular tour and we couldn't be happier. We were blessed to have a Native Hawaiian, Aka, one of the last remaining "pure blood" Hawaiians as our guide. To say he was an amazing representative of the Hawaiian people and culture is an understatement. It's like saying Duke was a good swimmer/surfer. Duke was legendary and so is Aka. The truth is closer to this. I cannot fathom a better tour guide to immerse a new comer to Hawaii. From the etymology of the words, history of Hawaiian Kings/Queens, to Native songs belted out with Aloha and enthusiasm, I was simply blown away. Thank you Aloha Tours. You've got a Michelin star tour guide.

it was my first time doing a guided tour like this and I would definitely recommend it for anyone's first time to Oahu! big shout out to our tour guide, jake and driver, (uncle) wang! jake was super friendly, kind, funny and personable. he made an effort to talk to everyone on the tour bus which was nice since we were spending like 9+ hours together I really appreciate the thought that went into the itinerary and how smooth everything was. managing a group of 50 people is not an easy task and I appreciated all the thoughtful things they did to make the day go smoothly such as airdropping/texting us all the menu for the shrimp restaurant prior to arriving and collecting payment so food would be ready when we arrived. they also provided cold bottled water and chips but you're welcome to bring any food/snacks with you. I was worried about the pick-up being difficult based on other reviews but it actually went really smoothly. there are usually multiple tour buses at the pick-up location but if you don't know which one to get on you can call their phone # to get the bus # or just ask the people standing outside the buses! tips: you only get 40 min at the dole plantation so to maximize your time I would suggest getting your ice cream from the truck outside (they sell the same things inside the gift shop but the line was shorter outside when I went). if you want to ride the train it's 20 min and I think they only run every 15-20 min so definitely get in line quickly. you can also get dole whip in waikiki so you can prioritize the train.

Jake was our guide on the north shore premium tour, his sense of humour made the day fun, love his unique way of getting us all back to the bus, a conch shell!! We got in all the stops and even got a bonus fishing trip thrown in, thanks Jake i'll never pay for fish food when there is doritos around again!! If your new to the island we did this day one after getting in and it truly is best way to start your Hawaiian experience. As you get to see the entire island. Lunch at the shrimp place... omg hooked for life, lol so good. Was our first taste of Hawaiian food culture and no regrets there! Mahalo to Jake and to our driver Rob!!!

Unko D was the best! Definitely a 10 out of 10. I really enjoyed how he took pride in sharing his information. Was definitely informative and an eye opener. Kept the entire bus engaged throughout the entire trip. Offered to stop by his house for my wife who was cold (we declined) he was very personable and took his time to talk to everyone individually making all feel included and not like a generic tour. From what I’ve heard a few other tour guides should take a crash course with him because we literally had people join our tour because their guides weren’t very good. I would definitely book this trip again if I knew I was going to be with Unko D! Thank you for the memorable tour!

Our tour bus driver/teacher, Cousin Johnny, was the most incredible experience we had in Honolulu and I was born and raised on the Big Island! Not only was he informative, he was entertaining, played games, and he kept everyone organized and on time. Most of all, he went above and beyond the call of duty. When Cousin Johnny realized that one of us still did not get our luggage from Hawaiian Air since the day before and watched how at every opportunity we tried to contact someone from HA and nobody bothered to answer any of the numbers (once held for 1 hour), he offered to help us. After the tour and dropping everyone off at their respective hotels, Cousin Johnny went to the airport, retrieved our luggage and personally brought it our hotel! We wanted to kiss his feet. Next time we go back to Honolulu, we will personally ask for him.

Wonderful tour! Caleb was our tour guide and he was phenomenal. He never rushed our group and made sure our questions were always answered. Hands down the best day we've had in HI. Glad we decided to go on this tour. The blowhole was absolutely stunning, clear and warm water. The temple was gorgeous and our kids loved feeding the koi fish and birds. Lunch was DELICIOUS at Tanaka shrimp farms. The gift shop was a great stop, everyone is so kind and there was fresh coconut and pineapple right outside of the shop. Highly recommend you check out this tour and if there's a way to request Caleb as your tour guide, do it! You won't regret it.

We enjoyed this tour a lot! You make about 15 stops starting at around 7am and we didn’t get back to Waikiki until about 630pm so it is a long day, but you get to see so much and learn so much- our tour guide Kathleen was amazing! She definitely deserves a raise! She shared history of the island (Oahu) and info on the culture overall, that you really wouldn’t know if it didn’t come from a local themselves, there was so much to learn and it was so insightful. You have a different kind of respect for the island and culture after this tour. Kathleen kept everyone involved and kept the jokes coming too, which we much appreciated :) aside from the stops you make at the designated places, she pointed out tons of landmarks around the island while we were driving, educated us on the different parts and neighborhoods around the island, and we even saw some celebrity’s houses which was pretty cool. The Mac nut farm and coffee farm were amazing, you HAVE to get some mac nuts and the coffee from the coffee farm was THE best coffee we had during our stay. Tim was an awesome driver too!! Mahalo 💛

Paul made the ride fun and educational, talking of customs, history, etc. and letting riders know the ground rules. Amazing sights and views. Decent stops tho lunch for a vegetarian needed veggies, would’ve preferred healthier rice like the shrimp meals to noodles or a stop at the fruit stands before the lunch stop for better eats.

Not only did we visit some beautiful sites we learned a lot from our new cousin about the history and ohana of this beautiful island of Oahu. This was my second island tour and my husband's first we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend this island circle tour to everyone.

Our tour was fantastic! However, this is mainly because we had the BEST tour guide ever--Aka! He is a native Hawaiian filled with cultural insights, that taught us Hawaiian words A true gem. We went around the island and got to see many places we would not have seen otherwise. Snorkeling was fun and we did see a sea turle; however, the visibility was poor in the water. I wish we had more time to explore North Shore. The day was great. Here are some tips. I bought my tickets through the Aloha Circle Island Groupon site. It ended up being legit. I was on the same tour with everyone else. They seem to have a dedicated groupon site for them, but it worked. We also did our Pearl Harbor tour through Aloha too. Interestingly-- I had thought of booking my 'circle island tour' through NuiTours--maybe I liked the website better--- well when pick up time came for the morning of the tour I found out that others HAD booked the Nui Tour. I talked to the guide and he explained that there are several vendors for the tours but that it is all the same tour--they funnel you into the same thing-- so I guess find the best price. You all end up together. The one lady from Nui Tours didnt think she had paid for snorkeling--but I knew I had that in my trip-- we all ended up snorkeling no matter which place you had paid.I am glad I planned this for our first day on the island so we could see what our options were for the week. There was no bathroom on the bus, but we stopped a various places and it all worked out for the day. The lunch wasn't that great, and was over priced.Now I will share this. Our bus was great, our ride was great and our tour guide was great. However, we did have to 'rescue' other people on an excursion. Their bus broke down. They were with Nui Tours on a smaller little bus for some photo expedition. Those people got on our bus very unhappy. Their tour was awful--the bus broke down twice. They were stranded on the street waiting and saw nothing. Then when they complained and told the tour guide they wanted a refund---he told the owner ( I believe it would be the owner of Nui Tours) and according to several of these stranded people-- the owner told them they could 'get the heck off his bus and pay the $85 fee for an Uber back to their hotels". On top of that they said their bus had cockroaches on it. I wouldnt believe it but there were several upset people and I saw no reason for them to lie. That was their experience and yet ours was wonderful. That just showed me how you can get such different reviews of same companies. Hopefully the owner will repair that little bus. I think it probably should ever have been out for that day in the first place. That was so unfortunate for them, but they all enjoyed our wonderful happy bus returning back with our wonderful guide Aka. We were all laughing and singing all day.

Having the opportunity to have Uncle Henry as our tour guide was the highlight of our mother-daughter trip!

I had to cancel my trip at the last minute because my baby was involved in an electric scooter incident at the Polynesian Cultural Center the day prior.

Great tour! Henry told us so much about the island and the language. Stopped at a ton of cool places, got to see a monk seal sunbathing and got to snorkle a little bit. Our tour guide was so amazing. Only issue we had was with the pickup We booked with Expedia and the address for pickup we walked to Once there, they didn't call our name. We asked them if this was the correct tour and they said yes but processed to get mad at us and argue with us for not being at our hotel for pickup instead of the address that was on the booking!!!! We walked for 45 min to get to the address on the booking. We would have definitely preferred to be picked up at our hotel but this is not what was stated. Other than that it was a great time!

My family and I booked a tour last year in June and met Captain Vince and it was one of the most amazing experiences that I had to come back for a second round! This time for my honeymoon. Captain Vince is just an amazing person, we loved learning all about the language, history and culture of Hawai'i, it was a great day full of fun and amazing company with the rest of our group! Hands down one of the best tour guides in Hawai'i. Mahalo nui loa Captain Vince for making our stay in on the island memorable!

I actually went on this tour in April of 2022, with my mom, aunt and cousin, for a mother/daughters trip, all the way from Kentucky!. Eddie was our tour guide and he was hands down, the most knowledgeable, genuine and sweetest person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He made the tour so enjoyable and I learned so much! Part of my heart was left in Hawaii and I hope to return some day! If I ever get the chance, I will absolutely take another all day, circle island tour. A huge thank you to Eddie for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable!!!

From top to bottom, this was such a great tour! We visited iconic places, as well as mom and pop food stands and a nursery! Each place, staying long enough to get a feel for the place, should we wish to return on our own. Our guide, Kaimana, has the craft of storytelling DOWN! He is personable, highly knowledgeable, kind, and patient! He also knows first hand, the “must do” hikes on the island and their level of difficulty. Soooo helpful for this senior citizen! I would highly recommend this tour, and DO ask for Kaimana to be your guide…you will feel the spirit of the islands in his good care! Mahalo, Kaimana!

We went on this tour and it was by far the best tour of the island I have been on. Captain Vince was beyond fun and his ability to create a family atmosphere with a group of people who didn't know each other in the beginning and by the end were a big family having fun on this adventure together. He knew everyone's name and interacted with each person the entire trip. We learned so incredibly much and he just made it so much fun throughout the day trip. I think anyone who wants to have a fun day and learn about Hawaii and see amazing sights needs to do this tour. I cannot recommend it enough. You won't be disappointed!
