Doing what: Oahu Grand Circle Island Day Tour with Dole Plantation
Overall, a very good tour. We were picked up a little bit late and there was some confusion over which bus number we were actually supposed to be waiting for. Once we were on our way, it was all good! Our driver and guide were great. Our guide gave us a great education on Hawaiian history and culture as we drove around beautiful Oahu. The buffet lunch offered for sale at Kualoa Ranch is not great, but you can order from the lunch counter if you prefer. Dole Plantation was a great stop. The main attraction for me there was the beautiful gardens...and the 'Dole Whip'. It was a very enjoyable day!

Although the weather was bad most of the day our tour guide entertained us well. We saw everything, including a turtle on the beach. I recommend the pineapple ice cream at Dole plantation too.

Very much everybody of the bus you have 5 mins for photos then back on, very rushed, needed less stops and more time at each stop especially Dole plantation, here we went on train ride and had no time to look around the shop before back on the bus.

Our tour guide was exceptional. He was giving us explanations of everything we saw, and talked the whole trip. The only problem we had was that we did not have enough time at the Dole plantation, so we didn't get a tour of that. We just shopped in the shop, as it was very big. My advice would be to do the plantation separately or allow more time for it, as it is also worth seeing.

Our guide was excellent. He provided us with details of the island that you normally wouldn't know. The trip was perfect. The only exceptions was lunch. It was okay, but could have been better. Also, additional time at the Dole Plantation would have been appreciated.

This is a must do tour as it takes you around the whole island in one day with a opportunity to take amazing photos of the scenery. We had a fantastic tour guide that was very knowledgeable. You have to taste the Dole pineapple whip at the plantation, YUM!!

I liked the tour as a whole, and the driver, but the Dole Plantation was a bit of a let down.

Doing what: Oahu Grand Circle Island Day Tour with Dole Plantation
The tour was a useful look at the island as a starting point for an Oahu holiday. However, the number of "comfort stops" at souvenir shops (four, including lunch & the Dole plantation) was excessive & time wasting. A stop at Turtle Beach would have been a worthwhile substitute as there were turtles at the beach that day. The Dole plantation is past its use-by date. It is not really that interesting, especially the train ride. The pineapple industry is on the wane, so they're looking to harvest tourists instead. On the plus side, the tour driver was a mine of information, very funny & a really nice guy.

Our tour guide/bus driver was absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable, humorous, punctual. He definitely contributed to our high level of satisfaction on this tour. The Dole Plantation could have been more interactive.
