About
Hawaii Rainbow Tours provides personalized island tours on Oahu. You can choose from one of our set tours, or you can choose the places you want to go and we will find the best route to take you there! All tours are private and catered to fit your individual needs. Aloha and welcome to Hawaii! Experience the Island of Oahu on a private, guided, custom tour. We will pick you up at your hotel in a private van for you and your group. First off, we will take you to see the pineapple fields at the Dole Plantation where you can have fun with a variety of family activities. Ride the Pineapple Express train, take a plantation tour, make your way through the world’s largest botanical maze filled with Hawaiian plants. During the winter months, you may witness epic waves upwards of 40 feet only the professionals dare to surf. You’ll be able to get out, walk around, and feel the sand between your toes. Then, we’ll take you to eat some delicious, local food at world famous garlic shrimp trucks. Next, we’ll drive back along the beautiful windward side. If you are adding beach time, we will stop at a beautiful white sand beach with crystal clear waters perfect for snorkeling and swimming. Here, you can’t miss Mokoli’i (a.k.a. Chinaman’s Hat) and Manana Island (a.k.a. Rabbit Island) just off the shoreline. Head all the way to the Makapu'u Lighthouse for breathtaking ocean views off the east coast. Finally, we will pass by Diamond Head Crater Monument on the south shore before heading back to the busy city in Waikiki! This Tour is 8 Hours long and see majority of what this Island has to offer!

Shelly was our tour guide, and she gave us the most awesome circle tour of the island!
From the beginning to end of the tour, Shelly set the right tone. She called us Ohana, and actually treated us like it. She accounted for every person on that bus and made sure no one was left behind. That was not easy considering there were so many families with children! She taught us Hawaiian phrases all along the way. She preplanned and organized things to make it smooth, for example, taking preorders for Fumi's Shrimp Farm so that we wouldn't have to wait too long to eat. It was delicious. She braved traffic and took us to really exciting lookouts and places. She was such a joy and delight and we are SO thankful to have had Shelly as our tour guide. You can really tell she loves the island and loves people. Thank you Shelly, and God bless you :)

Paolo is the owner of Hawaii Rainbow Tours. My friend booked Paolo and his company for our friend's birthday. We had a group of 7 and didn't want to use Lyft or Uber. We all wanted to ride down together and wanted to support a local company. Paolo was our driver for the night. Paolo was really awesome. He showed up at our friend's house a little early, and we got to talk story with him while we waited for our other friends to finish getting ready. When we were all ready, Paolo pulled out a little step stool and we loaded into the spacious van. Paolo was hilarious and provided great conversation while driving us. He let us play our own music during the 20 minute ride to the restaurant. The van looked very clean and I felt very safe while riding inside the van. We got dropped off and picked up right outside the restaurant. After our dinner, Paolo gladly took us to the near by 7-11 for a snack run. We quickly loaded back into the van and dropped us back off at the house. Overall, it was a great experience.
I'd definitely recommend Paolo and his company.

Do yourself a favor and let Paolo be your guide around the beautiful island of O’ahu. He was born and raised on the Island and knows all of the hidden gems. After we left Waikiki, we made our first stop in Wahiawa at the Manoa Honey and Mead shop, then made our way around the North Shore past Hale’iwa, Waimea Bay, and Turtle Bay stopping for lunch at Seven Brothers in La’ie. Then we continued along the windward side past Kahana Bay, Kualoa Ranch and Kane’ohe ending up at the Nu’uanu Pali lookout and the Puu Ualakaa lookout with beautiful views of both the windward side and downtown Honolulu/Waikiki.
Mahalo Poalo for making our trip around the island so memorable and being patient with my son. You truly exemplify the Aloha spirit of Hawaii.

Very poor organisation. Was put on 4 different buses without any explanation and still hadn’t started the tour after 1.5 hours, despite having booked months in advance. Please rainbow tours we just want a refund for the round island tour of Oahu that we never took.
Please be careful who you book through, many of the companies seem to mass all their customers together and nobody seems to know what is going on.
Tip: Google the name Kevin for a truly great tour.

This is the wrong company. We do not do bus tours. We only do private tours around the island of Hawaii.
I believe you are looking for Rainbow Transportation. Or another tour company.

Paolo was awesome! Such a great, funny, and personable guy. Even though we had just met that day, it almost felt like a tour given by a family member. He was super responsive to any concerns we had, he checked in with us multiple times about anything we may want to see that was not on the schedule, and he was very knowledgeable about the island and history.
His tour was the highlight of our trip and made me want to come back again!

Robert was a great tour guide. He was on time and told great stories along the ride. I appreciated that he was personable and entertaining.
The weather was raining off and on and we were unable to do some things but he found ways to make up for it so we did not miss out. This is a great way to see the north shore as well if you are unable to rent a car. It’s so beautiful over there.
I think there should be a tour just for the north shore if they have one take it! I would’ve liked to stay longer over there.

When we first stepped off the plane was greeted by Roberts Tours. What a relief for the 8 hour flight. They were sooo nice. Even helped us with our luggage that was lost & waited til we got things straightened out before starting the tour. You can believe we will be back to have the wonderful experience we had with them. Love everything about it!!!!!🤙🏽

Paulo is an owner operator of private tours and we booked a full day island (Oahu) tour. For adults, two teens. From the point of collection to drop off his attitude and enthusiasm for the tour and his home island was ultimately engaging. Can’t praise highly enough, shrimp stop off amazing but also good with history and stories.
Time can get a little tight as there is so much to see so be clear on your plan and priorities before you depart.

Paolo took me and my sister and 3 kids all around the Island. The kids loved him because he is such a sweet person. We loved him because he took so good care of us. He had brought drinks, towels, sunscreen and all we needed and took us to Hawaiian secret beaches and spots. He tought us a lot about the culture history and botanical side of Hawaii. We loved our trip. The best experience we have had here !! Everyone should get into Paolos big truck, it's relaxing, exciting and fun!

Hi, I've just read so much good review from this site, we want to ask you few question before we go ahead and book, we only have a party of 4, 2 adult and 2 kids ( 3 & 1 year old ), how much it's the private tour, for 3 hours or 6 hours ?
my husband friends just came back from Honolulu and they said nothing to do and see..no nice beaches.. is that true ?
Written July 21, 2017
Aloha!
Sorry it took me so long to jump on tripadvisor, what a busy summer!
But there is so much to see and do here!
The trick is to leave Waikiki and explore the beautiful island!
3 or 6 hr is totally possible!
All tours are private and customizable, this creates a non stressful environment where everyone can truely relax and leave me to the worrying!
Please call me or email me at anytime!

I would like to know about a tour of the Hawaii 5-0 sites. How many hours would this tour be? Also, I know the filming sites have to be open for us to go in, but on average which day of the week does this usually happen?
Thanks,
Kim
Written February 16, 2017
Aloha Kim
The tour for Hawaii 5-0 can be 3 hrs, 6hrs, or even 8hrs. but we can see a lot in 3 hrs. not feel rushed and see more Hawaii 6hrs. and if you feel like going to the beach then of course 8hrs.
The sites we visit are public and so they are always open. we may not see them filming because they
are wrapping up this season really soon. but it's still amazing to see where they shoot!
Any day is a great day to travel around and view the amazing sites.
hope this helps!
