Traveler reviews
Full day Circle Island Tour
There was some confusion about pick up. The receipt said the bus would come 30 minutes before departure but it wasn’t just sitting there waiting for people. It was making rounds to pick up people so it didn’t get there until a few minutes before departure time. This is nothing to do with the driver, but more so the description of the pick up process. Pick up location was also confusing. The address to the hotel pick up was given but not the actual pick up location (behind the hotel on X and Y intersection). Other than the initial hiccup, the experience was great and I would recommend it as a way to get to know the island and its customs. Our driver and guide, Tony, offered us a delicious portuguese donut for breakfast. It was a poi flavor and so delicious. He also offered a bottle of water. He filled the inbetween time with stories, cultural explanations, funny jokes, and before we arrived at each location, there was a short video to offer background and history. He also gave us alot of tips about best places to buy things (which items were only offered there, or which stores had the cheaper prices for certain items). It helped us make informed decisions to stretch our budget. We appreciated the inside information. It is an efficient and relaxed way to get an idea of where you might want to go back and spend more time.
Tony rocks!
Tony was a great guide. Very funny and informative. He knew all the spots and gave us great tips. 10/10 tour!
Fun times with Tony!
Tony is an incredible individual. He shared so many stories and tidbits of information throughout the journey making time fly by. I would recommend this trip to anyone who would like to explore island highlights within 1 day. Be sure to try out the shaved ice at Matsumoto, Malala Market spicy ahi, and the weekend special grilled chicken in the North Shore. Mahalo from Canada!
