Had a great day out with Mac. He kept us entertained the whole way with his knowledge and expertise! Got some really fantastic photos to make everyone at home jealous. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a shorter tour to take in a lot of beautiful sights, we even saw some whales swimming quite close to the coast. The perfect last day in Oahu!

Great experience. Andrew was our guide and took us on a all day tour of Oahu that included North Shore beaches, a coffee farm, a Buddhist temple, a botanical garden. We saw a rare monk seal and Humpback whales. Lunch stop was at a collection of food trucks with great native dishes.

Follow the directions of the booking. Do not bring bags with you. US Navy does not allow them on-premises. You will have to store them for a fee.

Excellent tour! Cuzzin Koko had a wealth of information of all the areas he took us to. Tip this guide well as he will make your tour memorable!

Fantastic way to see the island. We had a really memorable flight and experience
