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!!

This was a great tour. I recommend doing it first thing on your trip to get a good overview of the island.

It was great that we could rearrange the tour at very short notice when our flight in was delayed. The driver-guide was excellent - witty, full of local knowledge and very well informed about the lava flows and the tectonic plates in the central Pacific. He passed muster with me and my wife, and we both hold degrees in geology. The tour gave a splendid introduction to Oahu.

Tour guide and driver were a highlight of the trip. The beaches were beautiful, the drive pleasant, the food was okay, but it was the tour guide's knowledge and insights that made the trip the success that it was!

This was the most informed, best laid-out tour we took during our round-the-world trip. We enjoyed every minute.

This tour is a must for first timers. You get a good overview of the whole island without having to drive and figure out where you are going. Our guide absolutely made the tour! He shared his knowledge of the island with a sense of humor that made you feel like he was an old friend.

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

Very comprehensive and informative - a good way to get a feel for the island if you have no transport and limited time.

A whirlwind intro to the main island. Of course there's not enough time to do anything in depth, but this gives you a good idea of what and where things are. I'd suggest doing it on the first day of your trip and revisiting any areas that looked interesting later.

Enjoyed the tour overall but was disappointed in the Dole tour. There just isn't much left to see. Perhaps it's time to switch gears, plant more tropical plants, small plots of pineapples and maybe a theater where your show a film of the heyday of Dole production or at least pineapple production in general. I'm sure that there is vintage footage available. The little train is cute but there is so little to see on it's route. The tiny little piece of pineapple on a toothpick at the end is pitiful.

The driver was great - very informative. The only complaint was we were combined with several other groups AND ended up on the back of the bus with no window so we could not see things that were pointed out as we were driving! I think the seating arrangement should rotate somehow so everyone can have a good seat eventually. We have been on a bus trip before where everyone moved periodically .
