Halona Blow Hole tours

I made a reservation in advance through Klook and exchanged it for a QR at the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Klook wasn't significantly cheaper than the official Waikiki Trolley website (it was almost the same price when calculating the exchange rate), but I wanted to prepare in advance, so I made a reservation through Klook and used it well. It's good for getting around the city. The trolley is more expensive than the Bus 1-day pass, but the trolley has its own romanticism. It's a double-decker bus or a vehicle with open windows.

Luckily, a Hawaiian resident who was born and lived in Hawaii for a long time was our guide and driver. On the day I traveled, there were only three passengers including me, and he guided us comfortably as if we were on a family trip. He also explained the stories related to the places included in the itinerary and the Hawaii he saw growing up. We were even able to see a luxury women's prison. The northern coast was so beautiful that I wanted to stay there next time, even though I only saw Waikiki. This is a great value for money travel itinerary. I recommend it!

Excellent history of Hawaii, facts and humor from our tour guide Maia. I'd have liked to stay a little more at the beach, but it's already a long tour. I recommend it to get a very good idea of all you can do in the island and the tips/recommendations that Maia provide are really helpful.

Very fruitful day trip around the island filled with sightseeing, eating and shopping. Got to see the natural scenery like the blowhole, some islands and beaches. Tried various snacks like the donut, deep fried banana, some local food sample, shaved ice and certainly the garlic butter shrimp with rice. Shopped at the macadamia farm outlet as well to bring home some of the nuts and coffee. The tour guide was very friendly and shared a lot of fun facts throughout the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone in Hawaii for the first time.

Mac was our guide and he was absolutely brilliant. A person can tell you all about the place and still not be a great guide. It’s not an easy job but he did it so effortlessly. He was engaging, shared a lot of knowledge about Oahu, where famous scenes were shot in popular movies, why the beaches are named as such. As a solo traveller I didnt feel left out or forgotten. It was an intimate small group of five including myself. I sat up the front. The waterfall was closed that day due to drought conditions but still managed to get a nice photo. Mac even taught us some iPhone tips for photos and at the end of the day got us a malasada each. I’ve been on many guides as a solo traveller to different countries and you can really feel like a number some of those. Not this one. I’d say ask for Mac but I’m biased, I imagine his team is just as great. At the end of the day Mac will airdrop photos taken throughout the day or a link if your an android user. I truly had a blast and the best introduction to the island!

One of the best decisions is taking this tour! Mac is punctual, entertaining and accommodating when it comes to his guests. We had a coconut stop and enjoyed all the beautiful scenery on the itinerary with perfect weather.

The tour guide was very nice. He kept explaining and helping to take photos. Get off at designated locations so that everyone has time to view and take photos. Small buses are more suitable for day trips.

A really great tour to quickly see the sights of Oahu! It's fast-paced your, as you see a lot in a short time but nonetheless, it was so good! Definitely recommend if you want to get a general knowledge of the whole island.
