        Hunter’s company is outstanding! We booked a tour for 6. Could not be any happier and you cannot beat the price for a fully custom, private tour. Don’t hesitate to book. You will have a blast. Thanks Hunter for taking such good care of us. —Randy

        Highly Recommend
        We spent our vacation in Maui, but decided to do a day trip over to the island. Booking was very easy and personal with Michelle. We told her what we wanted to do and she created a fantastic day for us. The highlight was snorkeling with turtles and hiking to a waterfall. Our kids are still talking about it.

        Don't Miss This Tour!
        My family wanted to snorkel with turtles and walk to a waterfall. I read reviews that this company could make it happen and they did! We hiked to 2 waterfalls; one was a 1 hour hike and another was a 10 minute walk. We sunned and swam at the country's most beautiful beach. Then we ate lunch at a Local's Secret Spot, "where everyone knows your name". And ended the day with the turtles! I highly recommend this company!

        Perfect day out
        We had the good fortune to stumble onto a webpage from this company a couple of days before the trip to Hawaii. We had a fantastic day with Che. He picked us up promptly at 0830 and left us at the hotel around 1900. We got to experience whales jumping close to the shore, a hike to a waterfall at which we could swim under and dive from and a stop at the beach. Che also took us to a lunch place that had local food so we got to try the island specials.

        Best Part of our Vacay!
        We recently took a quick trip to Hawaii. We only had a few days on Oahu and I didn't want to spend the day stressed in traffic and getting lost in a rental car. I wanted to be able to look out the window, relax, and hear stories of Hawaii while visiting nontouristy locations. We got exactly that with this company. Everyone we spoke to including our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of their way to plan a great day for us. Waterfalls, grilled Macadamia Nut Banana Bread, Hawaiian Worshipping Grounds, a Rare Seal Sighting, and Turtles! Thank You Nau Wale No! We will be recommending you to our friends!

        A great tour of Oahu
        We took the 10-hour day trip around Oahu today. Thanks to our guide Ryan, we had an unforgettable day fully tailored to what we wanted. Ryan was incredibly flexible and full of great ideas about pkaces to visit that would suit us. We were comfortable, had liads of fun and learned heaps about Oahu and it's many stories. We highly reccomend. Mahalo Ryan 😄

        Did a 6 Hour Tour
        Che was very good, very informative and took us to see things that he thought we would like. Van was clean and we got a lot out of it. He took us to a beach though and said it was one of the nicest, more quite beaches but my husband was stung by a jelly fish. Not fun at all. I can't remember the name of the beach though. :( We did find it a bit pricey with the Canadian dollar exchange. It would have been cheaper for us to just go see those things ourselves.

        Best day of our Hawaii Trip by far
        We spent the day with our boy Hilton, who was fantastic. His knowledge of the island was unprecedented. As my friend and I are quite adventurous, he catered the tour specifically to what we wanted to do, while pinpointing the best places to do it. We started with a jungle hike to some old ruins and a secret waterfall. We did not see a single other person on the entire hike, which was awesome. Next we went to the Buddist Temple, which is such a cool, mystical place. Unreal setting in the foothills of the mountains. Then we experienced the highlight of the day, which was cliff jumping at Laie Point. Hilton was nice enough to jump in first, to show it was deep enough. After that my friend and I jumped in multiple times, so much fun. We then went up to the north shore to watch some surfing and did some swimming out to the sand bar. When it comes to food stops, I'm telling you, I had some of the best food I've had in my entire life. From the shrimp truck, to the poke tuna, to the macadamia nut farm, to the best shaved ice place ever, just top notch all around. On top of all that, Hilton was able to pick us up in Kailua and drop us off in Waikiki. Very accommodating to say the least. He also had snacks and water in the car. By far the best day of our 9 day Hawaii trip. There's no way we would have been able to do all of those things on our own. Cannot thank them enough. Whenever I go back to the islands, I will be looking them up for sure.

      Hunter, our guide and the owner of the company is a delightful young woman. She asked us about our interests and planned a perfect day. Going on a private tour, if you can afford it, means spending as much time as you want every place you go, and only going to the places you want to see. Going with this company on a day tour will greatly enhance your vacation.

      We took a North Shore tour with Hunter and it was fantastic -- she is a great host, very knowledgeable but also very relaxed and easy to be with. We didn't really know what we wanted to do but she knows all the great places and seeing some of the amazing surfing beaches was the highlight of the entire trip for me. Just stunning. Hunter really listens and has a great sense of humour too, all four of us thought she was delightful and our day-long tour was a huge treat. Highly recommend! Thank you Hunter.

      We had an amazing experience with Hunter on our customized tour. She knew all of the "must see" places and kept everyone engaged and entertained. We were able to do and see everything on our list and we are so grateful to Hunter for making our adventure special and memorable. We cant wait to book again to cover the southern end of Oahu. Mahalo Hunter, 5 stars!!

      Our family of three which included our eleven year old son booked a tour with Nau Wale No Tours for December 27, 2014 as we were visiting Oahu via cruise ship and wanted something different from the big bus tours normally associated with excursions offered on board. The service we received from when we first booked right through the tour itself was outstanding!

      Hilton met us right near the pier and immediately took the time to review what we had discussed previously when booking with the company as things we wanted to see and do while there. Hilton is very easy going and makes you feel at ease very quickly. He truly wants you to have the island experience you envisioned. He also has a unique ability to suggest some activities that will add to your experience...trust him when he asks if you would like to see something or make a quick stop. We got everything in we wanted to and so much more. Hilton is very knowledgeable and passionate about all the islands and his energy and enthusiasm is contagious !

      We all loved our day with Hilton, we never felt rushed and really appreciated the extra effort he put in. If you are visiting Oahu by ship or by plane and want a tour that is custom fitted to what you want without all the crowds....this is exactly want you want. Your only limited by your imagination on what you day can bring!

      We had booked this tour months prior to our arrival on our cruise to Hawaii. We had been somewhat disappointed with our previous tour of Oahu a few years back when we booked with the cruise line excursion. Not that it was bad but this tour was so much better.

      We booked a ten hour tour when our cruise ship docked on Oct 10th and Che was our tour guide. We could not have been happier with Che as he was entertaining, very knowledgeable and had our best interests in mind when he took us to so many amazing places.

      We had asked to see a few things ahead of time which we did but he also filled our day with so many things we know we never would have done our seen with a large tour group. Do yourself a favour, when Che recommends somewhere to stop our something to do, take him up on it, you will not be disappointed. My wife is still talking about the swing on the side of the mountain.

      Ask him to take to eat where the locals hang out and you will get some amazing food. Take a step further and treat these guys to lunch, they are working hard to make your day fun.

      Amazing scenery, hiking, beaches….we had it all with a great finish to the day watching surfers on the big waves at Pipeline.

      Che was an awesome guide, no pressure, let us stay as long as we wanted in each stop and gave us fantastic history of each place we visited. It felt like we had known him for a long time and were out for the day with a good friend.

      This tour was worth every penny, for a lifetime of memories of Oahu. We will be calling them again when we return.

      I can't say enough about this company and A.J. our guide. I found this tour company on TripAdvisor and contacted them in February. They were most helpful in planning our day trip around the island. We had been to Oahu the year before and had taken a couple of organized bus tours. After asking what we had seen previously they came up with a great day for us. We were met by A.J. promptly at the arranged pick-up time at our hotel, and off we went . One of the places on my list was Schofield Barracks to see a memorial which included the name of my late fiance (part of the 25th Infantry who was KIA in Vietnam - we met in Hawaii) and A.J. allowed me time to visit the memorial without me feeling rushed. We then drove to Haleiwa and sat outside the Aloha General Store eating shave ice (our first time to enjoy this treat). Lunch came later at a shrimp truck (as we wanted to eat where local do - not a tourist place). A.J. then drove us up Pupakea Road (a winding dirt road with a deep gulley on one side - glad she was driving!). We saw spectaclar scenery from the ruins of an ancient temple at the end of the road. Then it was off to the Byodo-In Temple at the Valley of the Temples. Never did we feel rushed and on a time schedule. A.J. was fantastic. Her knowledge of the island was great and she told me so many things that I didn't know about the places we were visiting. I can't say enough about her - she was the best guide we have ever had and we've done private tours before on other vacations. I had taken my 89-year old father with me to Oahu and he has memory problems. She was so kind to him - helping him in and out of the van, answering his questions, and making him feel special. When the tour was over, it was hugs all around. She became a friend, not just our tour guide. I would heartily recommend this tour company to anyone who wants to see and do things that other tour companies don't go to. Be an active partner in the planning process and have one of the best days of your vacation. We sure did!!!

      We took a private tour with Nau Wale No because of a referral from a friend. I'm so glad we did! We had no idea how different the rest of the island was from Waikiki. We hiked through bamboo to a waterfall, stopped at scenic lookouts, and swam in turquoise waters. I recommend taking a tour during the beginning of your trip. We got lots of tips from our guide and found many places we wanted to return to. All in all a fantastic way to see the island!

      A personalised tour of Oahu for 3, including my elderly mother. We were picked up by Che our driver and tour guide. He was very knowledgable on the history of the area. As my mother could not walk very far our tour was highly tailored to suit her needs. We started with a fantastic views over the city and the island from Tantalus A swim in the sea at Lanikai beach where Che even assisted us to get Mum into the sea for her first ocean swim in 15 years!! As we wove our way around the island, Che entertained us with his repartee and his wonderful dialog. We had requested a final destination to watch the sunset at Turtle Bay resort. Gin and tonic in hand we found the perfect way to end our day. Have some great photos as well.

      Whilst not inexpensive, the quality of the experience, the companionship of Che and the delights of Oahu made this tour a highlight of our time in Honolulu. Worth every cent.

      We did a round island tour with Alexis and had a great experience. We didn't want anything touristy nor hire a car during our stay. She fitted the tour around our likes and what we wanted to see. We went mostly with her suggestions. Had a great lunch at a local a bakery on the north shore, visited beaches, lookouts and local ruins as well as the Stadium markets. The best part however was stopping at a local beach to watch and snorkel with the protected green turtles. This wasn't planned but a great suggestion by Alexis. We did not feel rushed and everything was accommodated. Alexis was so easy to talk to and would highly recommend her and the company to anyone interested in doing a more tailored trip around the island.

      On my return, I found they didn’t have the correct documentation to operate a business at the time of our tour. The owner advised me it was ‘administration errors’. I wish I had known this before selecting this company.

      Nau Wale No Tours was recommended to us by a friend. What a great steer. We did a fantastic 6 hour tour today focusing primarily on the Southeast Coast, Eastern shore and Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout. Ryan took us to some terrific spots that were way off the beaten path. We never would have found these spectacular places on our own. We also stopped at Hibachi Market in Kailua for some amazing poke. Make sure you take time to enjoy some of Hawaii’s great food.

      Do yourself a favor and see the roads less traveled. Highly recommend the company and our tour guide Ryan.
