2.Majestic Circle Island Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,014 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $181

“The island tour of Oahu was interesting and gave us a nice overview. However, some of the stops felt too short to truly enjoy the places we visited. Adding just 10–15 minutes at each stop — extending the tour by about an hour or so — would have made the experience much more satisfying without adding much cost or inconvenience.”

“This is a great overall trip to see the highlights of Oahu. Our guide Neven was great! Made the trip fun and memorable! Loved the the tour was small (9 people) The sites and stops were great! The only downfall is that we spent all day in a very small vehicle. We were the last to be picked up so the only seats were way in back and difficult to get to. It was so cramped that one couple left for that concern which did make it more comfortable. Would have been tough if all 11 stayed.”

She was very patient with our tour group, including dealing with our screaming 3yr old at times (sorry about that) and making a pit stop so passengers could use the bathroom. Over all, this was an amazing experience that resulted in some beautiful pictures and awesome memories! Thank you Aunty Mary!”
