    Fantastic way to spend a day in Hawaii, must try this tour. Awesome day
    This was an amazing day . We were on a cruise so timing was concerning. We booked and were confirmed. The day before our tour Jeffrey contacted us to confirm pick up instructions. The morning of he was waiting and waving as we arrived. Great greeting, friendly and asked if we had any special requests. We did not and trusted him to make our day special. What a fantastic guy , great personality, very knowledgeable and gave us an incredible day. Can’t say enough good about this tour company. Comfortable van and stopped whenever we needed. Thank you so much. Jeffrey really treated us like family.

    Hawaii vacation Oct. 2023
    We booked a two day private tour of the island. Our tour guide Jeffrey was amazing!!! His friendly, fun loving attitude as well as his knowledge of the island gave us a better understanding of the area. He was very accommodating and always asked if we wanted to see anything else, and also brought us to places we did not think of. He made the experience very memorable. Dan the owner was also very helpful with planning our tour and having everything setup and answered all the questions we had. If you are looking for a customizable private tour, we recommend booking with them. They are great!

    Jeffrey was a great tour guide! He knew a lot about local plants, animals and birds. We were able to customize our tour😊
    Jeffrey was a great tour guide! Friendly and he knew a lot about local plants and birds. Lots of stops I had never been to and photo opps for our family. Highly recommend!

    The best way to see Oahu!
    We had an amazing time with Jeffrey! He was very understanding and patient with all of the different needs and wants of our family members. We had already taken some Waikiki Trolley tours on our own and so he was happy to take us to other spots that we had not already seen. We asked for chocolate tasting and he got us there (Highly recommend!), we asked for macadamia nuts, he got us there (also recommendable), we asked for coffee tasting, he got us there (this was meh, but that wasn't his fault!) We talked a lot with Jeffery about Hawaii and asked a ton of "Wonky" questions. It was nice to hear his perspective about all of it. We are so glad we sprung for this private tour instead of getting on a shuttle bus. I am sure we saw a lot more and we were able to hear a local's insights.

    Amazing
    This tour was great! We were able to request certain places we wanted to go and our tour guide Patrick also took us to other places we didn't think of. It was a beautiful day when we went, ocean look majestic and vibrant. Patrick was very informative about the stops we went on, from history to just stories about the island and certain places like the cursed hotel that bankrupts every owner that has brought it. I highly recommend this tour, being a private tour meant we could take our time at certain places and not rush. We were free to do what we wanted also, it was fantastic! Thank you so much for such a great experience!

    Don't miss the lava tube.
    Tour Date - 3/20/2023 Jeffrey took us on a magical tour around the lovely Island of Oahu. The moment he arrived he welcomed us into his Ohana. We saw and did more in our time together than we had on prior trips to Oahu. Highlights: Lava Tube (amazing) - North Shore Food Trucks (by request) - Lloyds Bakery - Manoa Chocolate factory - and more... Jerry is an awesome young man who really loves his work, his dogs, and his life in Hawai'i! (Danno needs to give him a bonus...)

    Disappointing
    We had high hopes for this tour as it was our first full day in Oahu and thought it would give us a great overview of the island. Unfortunately, our guide seemed more intent on the typical itinerary than on getting to the places we had put on our potential itinerary based on all 4 of our requests. We were informed ahead of time by Daniel that Jeffrey did not think we would have time to do Hanauma Bay and hit our other places, so we conceded to deleting that in lieu of seeing the other sights. Some were listed by us as just drive-bys to save time also. The only thing Jeffrey really showed us that would have been a little difficult to find on our own was the lava tube. It was fun to walk through it and then see the power of the ocean at the entrance. Other than that though, we stopped for alot of pictures that we didn't want, and we didn't have time to walk a trail to a light house, amongst other things. Though not completely Jeffrey's fault, we wanted to see Haleiwa and Dole Plantation. Due to a rock falling on the road, we couldn't get through and didn't have time to take another route to get to it. We understood this was nature... until we talked to another circle tour the next day and they said that they knew about the rock and were able to reroute their tours that day to get to Dole and Haleiwa and still see the things we said we definitely wanted to see. Two of those being Haleiwa and Dole Plantation. We spent alot of time in the vehicle with short stops on occasion which we could have easily done from a rental car or Uber. And we asked multiple questions for which Jeffrey either had no answer or guessed at an answer. Disappointing but live and learn!!

    Fantastic!
    Using The Real Hawaii tour was great! Jeffrey was timely, polite and fun. He took us to all the places we wanted to see and did not rush us. He even suggested a few special stops on the way that was fun. It was great to sit back for the 2 days and not have to be concerned about traffic finding where we were trying to go or parking. It is great way to see a lot of the island! Hawaii is eye candy all around: mountains, ocean and flowers!

    A Great Tour ! 🍍 🏖
    First time in Hawaii and after reading reviews and doing a little research we booked with Real Hawaii, what a great choice. Jeffrey was amazing, very personable and a wealth of information of island life and fun facts, felt very comfortable in his presence and he loved us asking questions. The tour was amazing, the scenery was breathtaking and the places of interest we visited did not disappoint. The Byodo Temple definitely my favourite but all were well worth a visit, the pineapple whip at the Dole plantation was scrumptious but definitely enough for 2. If you want to get a feel for this beautiful island book this trip ITS A MUST !

    Amazing Day with an Amazing Guide
    Jeffrey was phenomenal !!!! He reached out via text two days before our scheduled tour to find out exactly what we wanted to see on the tour. He planned the absolute best day for us He shared so much about Hawaii, the culture, the history and took us to so many amazing sights. He picked us early so we stopped for the most wonderful malasada (better than a donut) at breakfast and then for the most wonderful shrimp scampi at a food truck for lunch. We asked for local places to eat nothing touristy and he hit it out of the ballpark We went to the Dole Plantation, Tropical Farms Macadamia nuts and Monoa Chocolate was especially amazing for locally sourced delicious chocolate. We are not as young and mobile as we once were but Jeffrey took all that into consideration and we were able see so many wonderful views that didn’t require a long hike. Every spot we visited had beautiful views. Jeffrey shared his vast knowledge of the many places we drove past on the way to all the planned stops. Jeffrey made us feel like we were his family because of the wonderful care he took with us Thank you Sheila, Tom, Sue and Barry

    Fantastic Personalized Tour with Charasmatic Local
    My family and I did two day private island tours back to back with Jeffrey and they were two of the best days of our trip! We spent day one exploring the East Side of the Island and day two exploring the North Shore of the Island. The only issue we had is that they went by too quickly! Jeffrey showed us all of the things we wanted to see, things we didn't even know we wanted to see but that he realized we would love after getting to know my family and suggested to us (and he was spot on every time), and the most incredible beaches ever. I felt like we got the best of the touristy must-see highlights and the local gems that most people never get to experience. Jeffrey was a wealth of knowledge about Hawaii and never tired of our questions or my boys' boundless energy and silliness. By the end of our two days, he felt like extended family. We would definitely book with them again.

    Fantastic tour of South Oahu
    We had the most informative and interesting full day tour with Jeffrey. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took us to many spots. He was entertaining and friendly. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting Oahu.

    Best Way To See Oahu
    Our family did the Oahu Circle Island Tour. Jeffrey was our guide and he was phenomenal. We had a FULL day of seeing many amazing views and making special memories. We highly recommend this tour and Jeffrey. He was very personable and added so much to the tour with his knowledge of the island. He personalized our tour based on our interests and made sure we had time to enjoy every stop. This day far exceeded our expectations. This was by far one of the best days on a vacation we have ever had. Thank you Jeffrey!

    The Best Day of our Vacation!
    My wife and I took the private Oahu Circle Island Tour during our week-long vacation to Hawaii. This tour was easily the highlight of our visit. Our tour guide Jeffrey was amazing. He picked us up first thing in the morning at our hotel and we were off. Besides hitting major landmarks and stops around the island, he'd ask us questions and further personalized our tour, taking us places off the beaten path, including local gems to grab food throughout the day. We highly recommend this tour!

    The Real Hawai'i is the real deal!
    My wife, son and I took a private tour with Jeffrey. It was the most amazing tour around Ohau. He picked us up promptly from the Aulani and we went to see the all the spectacular sights around the Island from Diamond Head, Kapi'olani park, a hike up Hanauma Bay, Tantalus lookout, Makapu'u lookout, Valley of the Temples, Byodo Inn, a stop for coffee and macadamias at a macadamia nut farm, Kualoa Ranch, Kahuku area, Dole Plantation to the best food trucks on the Island. Jeffrey was fun, charismatic and extremely informative about the Islands culture and history. We highly recommend this company if you are considering a tour around Ohau.

We had the good fortune and pleasure to have booked this tour and to have had Jeffrey as our tour guide. By itself, the tour would have been outstanding, but Jeffrey took it to new heights and our lofty expectations were significantly exceeded. We visited highlight after highlight and Jeffrey made one winning recommendation after another. The sights and locations with Jeffrey’s guidance made for a perfect tour and there was no time pressure to return to our hotel. For our first trip to Hawaii, we’ll always retain the memory of a wonderful day tour of Oahu, thanks in no small measure to the expertise, good nature and knowledge of our sublime tour guide.

The day was wet but our guide Dan made the most of every opportunity for us to get out of his very comfortable jeep and see the most important sights. The Buddhist Temple was magical and it was a good idea of his to see this first. The rain added a mystical quality and as the tour started early we had this enchanting place to ourselves.
We particularly wanted to see the big waves on the North Shore. We stopped at Pipeline and Sunset Beaches. There were no surfers as it was mucky and awash. Dan explained that surfers like the water to be clean. Nonetheless we got the idea. Thanks Dan for a great day.

Wow! What a fun day. Definitely a highlight of our trip. We were on Oahu for two weeks and did loads of stuff and this experience stands out. Yes, we saw a lot of fun and breathtaking sights. Yes, we were able to get a backstage, "inside baseball" view of the island. But what really makes this tour stand out is the ability to quickly create a friendship with a local guide in a way that is only possible with a private tour. Our tour guide was Jeffery and he is excellent and definitely cut out for this kind of work. So glad we booked this experience!

Great way to check out the North Shore. Dan and Jeffrey had great communication prior to the trip. We saw a lot of things with good recommendations for food and sites. We only wanted a half day because we had little kids so avoided the full island circle tour and this was perfect.

Punctual pickup by Dan our tour guide at 7.00am from our hotel seemed early but proved to be ideal as we ‘early birds certainly caught the worms’ on this amazing day trip to where we wanted to go on the North Shore.
Actually we did not know where to go and relied on Dan to surprise us and we really loved the local knowledge of where to take in the sights, to eat shrimp, to try shave ice, to swim and to visits the ancient banyan tree and much more!.
Terrific day all round and we beat the crowds owing to Dan’s experience.

Doing a tour with The Real Hawaii is a must if you want to see Oahu. Dan is an excellent guide and will personalise your tour to suit what you want to see. Much more informative and friendly than a big bus tour. Dan picked us up on time from our hotel and from the time we jumped in his jeep we felt like part of his ohana. He took us to some cool places we had not been to before and the highlight for me was going to a 'secret' location away from the crowds to see turtles in the ocean and on land.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour and can't recommend The Real Hawaii and Dan highly enough. It is a 5 star tour. The stops for shrimp and shave ice on the North Shore were awesome. Mahalo Dan for an amazing time.

My family and I had an amazing tour of the north shore with Dan from The Real Hawaii tours. It was well planned, easy to book and value for money. We wouldn’t have seen half the things we saw if we had of driven ourselves. Dan was very knowledgeable, great with the kids and very likeable. He also took some great family photos of us. Would highly recommend this tour.

We had an amazing time with Dan during our private tour of the island. Dan was very knowledgeable and customized our tour to allow us to see as much possible in the 6 hours we had together. Absolutely would recommend this tour to anyone looking to kick back and let someone else do the driving and planning 😉😊🤙
