    Our ride
    Paul J.

    Jackson and Somi are fantastic guides, they know so many facts about the island and the whole tour experience with the all inclusive lunch and food along with all the stops was truly amazing. Could not have asked for a better day on the island!

    Friends of the day!

    What a fun journey this was. Kela and Susumu were fantastic guides, it was a super fun bus ride and we got to see so much of the island. It's a really great tour see a huge chunk of Oahu and take notes of all the great places to see and eat at so if you have time to return you know exactly where to go. Whether it's seeing beautiful costal views, sea turtles laying out on the beach, getting amazing shave ice, or a delicious shrimp lunch, you get to have a small taste of the whole island all in a day.

    As a local, I'm not one for tourist activities but because my boyfriend isn't from here, we thought it would be a great idea to try this tour out (after much recommendation). Our guide, Billy, and our driver, Ross, were awesome! Billy is incredibly knowledgeable and personable and gave us amazing recommendations and facts about the different places we stopped at. Although Ross was the driver, he gave great tidbits throughout as well!! From a local's perspective, I think this is a great option to try out if you want to see some cool spots and don't want to do any of the driving and parking yourself. Because it's an island tour and there's tons of great spots to stop at, you can get strained for time. But, you could definitely use the tour as a means of finding spots you want to revisit later on for a longer period of time.

    This tour was absolutely lovely! It was beautiful, informative and fun. We saw many treasures of Oahu but the biggest attraction in this tour was our tour team, Billy and Jay! Billy was very well informed, honest and funny! We always had a smile on his face and he was very inviting. He is the best tour guide i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He truly knows how to light up a room and get people engaged. I truly loved this tour at 100/10 would recommend to all others looking for a tour of Oahu

    We've been on a circle island tour in years past but have never had a better experience than we had today... SUSUMU, KANAKO and JAE made today's experience truly memorable! My hubby and I felt included & seen throughout the day. Susumu is personable, knowledgeable, & thoroughly professional in an accessible manner. The food & tastings throughout the adventure are delicious! From the awesomeness of the Leonard's Malasada to the awe-mazing shrimp lunch to the traditional tastings to the macadamia nuts & island coffee -- We couldn't have asked for anything more. We were picked up ON TIME at our hotel & then dropped off 9 adventure-packed hours later in the same convenient spot but with irreplaceable memories & full bellies. Thank you AYC & special THANK YOU to SUSUMU, KANAKO and JAE for an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

    We wanted to see the island and experience different food places and this tour did not disappoint! Our guide Susumu was very knowledgeable and considerate of our comfort the entire time. He even made extra stops that were not on the itinerary. The bus was very clean. We loved the whole experience and would not hesitate to take any of the tours they offer on our next trip back, and we will definitely be back! Mahalo Susumu and Island You, you made our vacation great!

    Jackson was a blast! He was friendly, informative and entertaining. We have been here a dozen times and this was our first island "tour". We will definitely recommend it to others! Just the right amount of ride time vs experiences. Mahalo!

    The dolphin tour was super cool. We saw like 30 dolphins swimming when looking from our boat. And 8 under the water when we jumped in to swim with them. The crew were extremely kind, organized and funny. They gave us a lot of time to snorkel and use the water slide, it was dope. Jen the tour guide also gave some information on area we drove too and was a great photographer during the swimming portion. If you come, make sure you do a big Aloha so cpt mike can find some dolphins

    My fiancé and I went on a trip of 19 (in total) people and the crew of Dolphins and You were so great! Everyone had great customer service, had a ton of fun, was very attentive and professional and made sure all of our experiences were awesome. Austin(Awesome), Sota, Kahae, Danielle, and Tyler did an exceptional job at making sure we were safe and having a great time. I'd highly recommend. The food was great, drinks were cold, the water slide was a lot of fand the views were beautiful. Thanks to Captain Mike for knowing your craft and doing an awesome job.

    Jackson and Susumo (sorry if I spelled either name wrong) were our guides and they were simply amazing. They were super knowledgeable, courteous, and entertaining. We were laughing the whole time and came away with a ton of knowledge about Hawaii. I don't have a good picture (just videos), but we got to see some sea turtles at one our stops and it was incredible. We ate delicious garlic shrimp and fresh fruit. We went to scenic beaches and learned so much about the island. We were so happy we got to go on the tour and would 10/10 recommend it!!

But also not recommended if you have a health condition, with restrictions. Before you arrive, you need to make a reservation on their website. It's more convenient because you can pay for the parking on there as well. When you receive your email confirmation, it will give you a once use QR code. You will get this scanned in the entrance and it will cover you for parking. NOTE: when making reservations, you will select times slots. Morning slots do fill up first, so put that into consideration if you were planning to do this hike. Right across from the visitor center they have the restrooms. These restrooms are the cleanest restrooms I've ever seen. They even have changing stations for mom's with babies. Sinks also have soap and water. The outside of the bathrooms, they have water fountains, and water dispensers for you to fill up your water bottles. Me and my sister did this hike and the time slot we got was for noon. The sun is out! I suggest you carry your sunblock with you while on the hike because you will need to reapply as you keep moving upwards. The sun is out and you will feel it. This hike is also nice because it has designated resting spots with benches in case you need to pull over get a drink and catch your breath. Somewhere towards the top, you will reach a huge flight of stairs. That's very steep, if you like a challenge, the stairs will lead you closer to the top. But if you take the left path, that's a pathway with rails. That is completely doable, for the slower hikers, like myself. And on the bright side, the left side path does come with a view. When you are all done with your hike, they have some very cute souvenirs at the visit center. Very cute hello Kitty merchandise as well, if you are a fan. ALSO!! GET A SWEET TREAT! on the far right next to the visitor center there are two food trucks parked that sell shaved ice, and Dole whips!! I had a great experience! I'm so happy I get across this hike off of my list.

Another couple got off the bus at drop off, and he said something negative about them. Multiple people would ask him questions at stops and he'd say, "I was just talking about that. Were you not paying attention? What were you doing?" He made comments multiple times about "language barrier" because there were Asian tourists on the bus and he was like, "well they can't understand me." BUT his talking was horrible! I learned next to nothing about the history or locations we visited on the Oahu circle tour! Why? Because he spent the entire time rambling about random things. Then he would sidestep, say something random, and then say, "But more on that later." He spent 20 minutes talking about all the other tours GoTours provides, the people who work there, how to call the office to try to get a discount. WHAT? Talk about Hawaii! The lunch at the Polynesian Culture Center felt like an enormous rip off. He spent hours talking about how we had to pick our lunch - "not paid for by the tour, it's a separate charge." He said it wasn't mandatory and yet he pushed the lunch menu over and over again and challenged a woman when she didn't pick something. He said "I don't know if there'll be any other food spots." So, a majority of us just picked something. I was seated next to a couple and we all commented on how scummy it felt, because the Polynesian Culture Center is FULL of food stalls. I would have much rather have had my choice of food over a pre-fix lunch menu at a chain restaurant where we can't even get a class of water (nope, drinks are $4 each for a bottle or can). Are you joking? We stopped at the Dole Plantation for 45 minutes. Not enough time to do the maze or train, we can't see the actual plantation... so it's 45 minutes for a gift shop? Seriously? The entire day felt like one big sales pitch / commercial. It was HORRIBLE.

The views were jaw-dropping: Diamond Head glowing in the morning sun, waves crashing at Halona Blowhole, and those movie-perfect cliffs near Kualoa Ranch. Dirk kept us entertained between stops with island legends, trivia, and a soundtrack that could make even a restroom break feel cinematic. Leonard's malasadas? Heavenly. Macadamia nut farm snacks? Dangerous in the best way. Tanaka's garlic shrimp? Worth every bite and every burp. Turtle Beach was the crown jewel--relaxing, peaceful, and filled with lazy sea turtles living their best lives. Dirk's timing was perfect, his humor was infectious, and his love for the island made every mile memorable. I laughed, I learned, I ate too much, and I never once regretted it. If you want a full day of Oahu beauty, good vibes, and an expert guide who'll keep you smiling and on schedule, this is the tour. Mahalo, Dirk, you're the real MVP of island adventures!
