“Aka is great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and wise. He is a native of the land. His culture and life experiences are a blessing to others.”
Full-day Oahu circle island tour with Diamond Head, Pali Lookout, North Shore turtle snorkeling, Dole Plantation, snacks, and hotel pickup.
“The tour was good, the tour guide, Kap was awesome! I wish the tour wasn’t focused and stated that there would be swimming with sea turtles. The beach was not a great place to “snorkel” as there were sea urchins everywhere and not one sea turtle in sight. Six people stepped on a sea urchin (there was a land mind of them). I would suggest that either a different beach is picked or taking that part out of the tour and adding something else in. Overall, the stops were good, there was lots to do but it was disappointing to be excited for the snorkeling and have it not happen.”

“Easy check in. Fairly short walk to beach and launch point. We are both over 50 and did the self guided tour and had no issues although it is a workout. We preferred to go at our own pace without the guide and although during checkin I was questioning that decision and whether we’d know where to go there are plenty of others in kayaks and easy to navigate. Paddled to island and then over to the beach for some excellent snorkeling.”
