Great scenery. Disappointing tour.

I was greatly looking forward to seeing the Oahu north shore. And it did not disappoint. But... Our minibus was old and we were crammed in. No shock absorbers. I have spine issues and the ride was beyond uncomfortable. The guides were sweet but offered no real information about the island. The whole thing was...that's where I like to surf...that's a nice hike...that's a nice beach we're not stopping at... I would have liked some history. We passed where captain cook landed with no explanation. Even a history of surfing in Hawaii would have been cool. Stopped for a mediocre lunch overlooking a truck park. Meh. Conditions for turtles not great. Not tours fault! Also 2 annoying stops. No education about how special macadamia nuts are. And the dole stop was so short you had no time to even take a tour. Just buy an overpriced dole whip that you can get anywhere. I'm glad we went but not sure about the enthusiasm for this tour. Great guys...meh experience.

1000/10 tour dè turtle!

I had an incredible day with Tour guide Benji on this small tour of Oahu as a solo traveller from Australia. Weather to start the day post hurricane was atrocious and raining, but Benji did everything in his power to make sure it was still memorable! When we couldn’t see any turtles snorkelling due to the quality of the water, he drove to every beach and secret location to ensure the people on the tour who hadn’t got to see a turtle, got to experience that! Ultimately finding us the biggest turtle sunning itself on a secluded beach - incredible! Benji was always super accomodating, happy to chat and take photos of everyone and by the end of the the day, the positive energy of the experience brought out the sunshine and we all got burnt, a major turnaround weather wise from the start of the morning! I was 10000/10 recommend this tour to anyone visiting Waikiki, especially if Australian!!

An excellent tour.

We would highly recommend this tour, the driver Benji was very friendly & engaging, provided lots of commentary & the tour itself was awesome. We covered most of the attractions around the island & would like to thank Benji for creating wonderful memories.

10 star turtle tour

Incredible day exploring Oahu with guide Benji! Weather was not in our favour post hurricane, with rain leaving waikiki and the beaches not as blue as they’d usually be, but he did everything he could to make it memorable. When we couldn’t see turtles whilst snorkelling, he made sure to stop and search every beach for a turtle for the people who had never seen one before, which resulted in everyone seeing a massive turtle sunning itself on a little random beach outside of pipeline! Benji was so knowledgeable, knew everyone and everything and was personable and happy to assist with taking photos at all times. Such a memorable day with a great group of people made even better by a great guide! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii, especially if from Australia!!
