This is probably the worst tour I've ever been on…read more The driver was so rude to multiple guests - one woman disclosed medical information to him when she was the second to last person on the bus, and he announced it when everyone got back on. 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.

Uʻilani was a spectacular guide--entertaining, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. She shared her…read morewisdom and deep understanding of Hawaiian culture with warmth and authenticity, and we were able to spend meaningful, unhurried time at every stop on the tour. My favorite activity of the entire trip was snorkeling. I love nature, and swimming alongside a school of fish was one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. My new novel, DeathCon--a YA horror story releasing in February--takes place in Honolulu, and this journey was so rich with insight and history that I truly felt my spirit connect with the people and the land. It was an unforgettable and inspiring experience from beginning to end. Mahalo nui loa -- with deep gratitude for the land, the culture, and the opportunity to be here.

They're both hilarious and very knowledgeable! ------------------------------- As a travel agent, I like to recommend yours or experienced that I myself have tried. While 'Im not much of a tour bus enthusiast, to ensure that my clients end up with a good one-- I decided to try Nui Tours. Unfulfilled promises by Jack (the owner): small group, Mercedes Van, all of the stops, snorkeling at a specific beach, we did not want to stop at certain places and were told we could customize, souvenir hats, 2 bottles of champagne, unlimited juices/snacks/drinks, and the discounted price per person. What we got: the bus was 30 minutes late, no one answers the phone number, HUGE OLD TOUR BUS (58 people), we did not get to choose our stops or how long we stopped somewhere, they had water bottles and Pringles (no juice/no champagne/no other snacks that were promised), and on top of several other things-- they charged us full price. WE ARE STILL AWAITING A REFUND of the amount that was overcharged. Jack has lied to us, taken zero accountability, and still refuses to answer the phone. I can't help to think that half of his warrants are for fraud at this point. There is no clear communication and several tour companies show up at the same location, so if you got suckered into these tours-- please verify with each driver to see if your name is on their list. Please choose a different touring company to support. If you have a car rented and need help planning your endeavors, feel free to reach out. Good luck out there!

Yianni is amazing guide. We booked a private tour just 2 days prior. My wife saw Hi5 in Facebook-…read moreAulani group and can do custom tours. She DM and got a live response. We opted for a light tour, local goat farm, fruit stand, Weimea valley (waterfall), local food trucks, a surf beach and Cacao and coffee refinery. This is kid friendly especially the small one wanted to be carried instead of walking. Yianni knows the people in all areas, able to have a deeper history and great understanding. It's like a live Nat Geo and Anthony Bordain explanation level. It's a great experience. Normally, i hate tours as the guide just point to the local spots and that's it. It's no different from a Google search. Hi5, and Yianni in particular change this by having that connection to the local people. That is the magic. We did talk a bit of business and I think incorporating this idea to a wider audience is perfect. I wish him the best.

Then next morning we had to find the Hyatt for pick up and was rushed! I was not happy about that! On the tour we went to Fumi's a shrimp spot to eat which was good. Our driver Kapono was very nice guy. He suggested we pre- order because we would arrive at lunch hours , a busy time. He passed out this folder for everyone to write order , amount of order & changed owed. My partner and I order came up to $32 dollars and we put $40 dollars and never received our change! Now we definitely would of tipped that or let him keep it but I didn't like how he never mentioned us getting our change back!! Definitely funny move! Unprofessional business Tactics! Again very nice guy but I would suggest tell people have exact change or they won't get they're change back VS just keeping everyone money!! Now some people did write keep change, i wrote owed because I wanted him to return my change and let me tip my money if I WANTED!!!! You don't just keep people change!! We paid for this tour it was not free so no one has a right to just keep your change from order!! The tour was a full day and it was worth it! Just need to be a little more organized!!

She is a proactive driver, and I never once worried about my family's safety. Additionally, she gave us her direct contact number in case she was needed while we were exploring at the various sites.

He was hilarious, full of fascinating stories, and somehow managed to make every bathroom stop feel like part of the adventure. 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!
