The best tour I love it I love it our driver was so nice treating us like family explain point by point Roxie and Steve Glatz melissa Texas
Did the Oahu Circle Island Tour by Fil-Am Travels and Tours, had a fantastic time with our driver/guide David. He was very knowledgeable and flexible with plans, easy going and amusing guy. Would definitely recommend and coming back again!
unbeatable! the driver made this tour an experience! To have a true local native show and explain is priceless. The snorkeling didn't happen due to weather. And the bus broke down, still no regrets would definitely recommend!
Great experience with our guide "Uncle D" He is from Hawaii and it's nice to have someone local to lead the tour.
It’s a full day and lots of quick stops… but it would be especially helpful if you do this tour in the beginning of your trip so you know where to visit later.
The tour was very informative. We learned a lot about Hawaiian culture and way of living. The scenery along the way was spectacular. Our driver explained what we were seeing as we went along. He made it all very interesting and we learned a lot. He also answered any questions people had along the way. Thanks very much for a wonderful day Uncle D.
Nice chill tour. I like it when tour guide chatters about everything around. Gives details and fyi info all the time. One could rent a car and do same tour but you couldn’t just sit back and listen to guide nor watch the scenery because you’d always be checking your google maps. The retail stops were more than enough always trying to get your last dollar but nobody was pushy. I wish there was more info at the macadamia nuts place like how they grow and harvest info. It was all about buying the nuts which you can get for a bit less at the ABC and Target stores all over Honolulu. The ocean for snorkeling was murky and could not see down into water. Turtles were floating around though close to shore so you could see them bobbing their heads and fins around. Also there were not near enough snorkel equipment for everyone. Probably 10-12 short, but like I said didnt matter as couldn’t see anyway. The dinner stop was mediocre only. Got the veggie dish and it was almost all rice and rice noodles with a “small”spattering of thin peppers and lettuce. A real let down for 20$. The sauce helped a lot. They promoted the hula hula chicken which may have been a better choice, but I prefer vegetarian. The place was a food truck and I couldn’t believe how many people they ran through. We did stand in line for a bit but it was a fairly smooth running affair. Other busses and vans also stopping. Overall a nice to do thing for the day.
We are a party of 16 and 8 are seniors age 75-94. We got the whole day trip around Oahu. We got the vehicle to ourselves. Everybody had a great time. Auntie Kelly shows us around Oahu. Make us taste food around hawaii. There are time for shopping which the seniors loved. Get to see beautiful sites. All in all everybody happy.
You will learn a lot about the Hawaiian culture from Darren. Please respect him and the other travelers by not talking so much that no one can hear him. You have the opportunity to eat a lot on this tour. The pineapple from Uncle Ds cousin is heavenly. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen. A portable fan would be nice to have as well since the bus can get warm. The bathrooms along the way are public and not private, so keep that in mind. It's a long day and you're eating a lot. Didn't get to snorkel because the water at turtle Bay is still not clear due to flooding a few months ago. It will take time to filter out. I thought it was a great price for all the sites and information. Uncle D is a sweat native and full of knowledge. Highly recommend 🤙🏻
Great experience and I would definitely do it again
