Testimonials
“Uncle Tony was an amazing guide for the day. His personal stories, past experiences, and plentiful knowledge of the island really kept my attention. He really made you feel like you as well as everyone else was his true Ohana. He was a safe and conscientious driver. 10/10 would do again. All the stops listed were surely hit, they were breathtaking, and well worth the money.”
“Let me start by saying, John Jr is the absolute best tour guide I’be ever had. I honestly felt like he was one of my bros that I had chilled with my whole life. He was super nice, knowledgeable and a fantastic singer. When he busted out his ukulele, I knew we were in for a treat. We stopped at such wonderful spots and his intimate knowledge of the island made our tour success. Thanks, John Jr!”
“What an AMAZING tour! This was the best choice I made on this trip! We had the BEST guide, John Jr! He sang, he played his ukulele, he was funny & knew so much about the island. Couldn’t have asked for a better full tour of the island. My 2nd time here and but I actually saw so much I had never seen. This is a must for anyone, be a tourist for a day with this group! Unforgettable!”
“We are so glad we went with this smaller tour and group. There wasn’t any part of the tour we did not like. We met a bunch of great people. John Jr. was very entertaining. The donuts were great as well as where we stopped for lunch, the scenery, the nut farm. It was truly worth the money.”
“Uncle Tony was our tour guide/driver. I’ve done this circle island tour for the past four years. This was the best tour guide we had. A bus driver who plays the ukulele and provides delicious donuts and coffee at our first stop in the tour. And he called in our lunch order at Fumi’s so we didn’t have to wait for our food. Best tour I’ve had on the island.”
“Our guide Cousin Maiia was phenomenal and the stewardship of the land both by Our guide and Nico at the beach is a tribute to how much they care about their cousins enjoying the tour and ensuring the ocean is protected DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!! If you only do one tour make sure that you go with this company mahalo nui loa ia ‘oe”
“For an inexpensive, easy way to see a good portion of the island, this was an amazing tour! Cousin Duke was a very knowledgeable and witty guide- it was awesome to learn so much about Hawaii from someone who knows it so well. I wish we had a little more time to spend at the Dole Plantation, but getting Dole Whip was still worthwhile. In all, a wonderful day with a great group!”
