Your Private Circle Island Tours
Overview
See all O`ahu has to offer and enjoy a ride around the Ko`olau Mountain Range. Visit the South or North Shore on a Mini Circle Island Tour, or see them both in one. Guests can enjoy the water, beautiful hidden beaches, great shopping, outstanding restaurants, and much more. This island offers incredible variety and beautiful scenery, and you have to see it all!
Any guests wanting to see both the North and South Shores must book at least a Full-Day Tour. While guests can enjoy a North Shore Express Mini-Circle Island on a Half-Day Tour, we typically recommend at least a Full Day. On the other hand, the South Shore Mini-Circle Island Tour is perfect for those wanting to get out of the city for a Half-Day Tour.

Michael took our family of 8 around the island for the day. He was very informative and accommodating, and flexible so that we could stop for an island treat of shaved ice and DoleWhip along the way. Our kids voted this as their favourite day of our holiday - they learned a lot about the island and were glad to see so much more than just Waikiki. I highly recommend a tour with Michael.traveltragic63

Our group of 7 ladies chose the tour with Michael, as we had toured the North Shore with him previously and it was great. Michael is accomodating and easy-going and has a great knowledge of the island , it's history and inhabitants. He will alter a tour to suit any group and stop wherever you want, as well as having great suggestions for places to go and points of interest. His van is roomy and comfortable and we had a great half-day tour chatting to him, asking questions and learning more about Hawaii. He even provided umbrellas for our slightly wet walk to Manoa Falls. A fantastic tour guide and highly recommended by our whole group.LadyRoc777

Michael was a wonderful tour guide! He was very kind, loving, funny, helpful, understanding, knowledgeable, entertaining. I feel like he can adapt to the vibe of the group he is with and would give them the best day ever and great experience.

Fantastic tour. Michael was extremely knowledgeable, about the island. Great scenic spots he took us all to and food spots as well. Very respectful and had a lot of patience and a little sarcasm, which I enjoy, for us group of ladies.
