The Circle Island trip promised a tantalizing exploration of nature's wonders but ultimately fell short of expectations. While the Botanic Garden and temple offered glimpses of serenity and beauty, the remainder of the journey was marred by disappointment. The supposed farm stops turned out to be mere façades for gift shops, leaving visitors devoid of genuine agricultural experiences. Despite the picturesque scenery reminiscent of Jurassic Park or Avatar, the overall experience felt like a wasted opportunity. For a more fulfilling adventure, I'd recommend renting a car and embarking on a grand hike, coupled with a visit to the Botanic Garden. Regrettably, this tour only earns two stars, and I wouldn't opt for it again.

Did a full day tour with Rob C. He was bubbly and smiling the moment he picked us up. He made it personal, gave lots of information with history of the island and pop culture references. Rob gave clear instructions on how much time we had in every place. And always let us know which spots had the clean bathrooms.

We had a great time with this tour. Tour guide, Rob C, was entertaining and provided insightful information along the way. We circled half the island and saw the beautiful east and north shore. We learned the history and also a few words from Hawaiian language in this trip. The Byodo-in was peaceful and Waimea Waterfalls was an easy walk. Overall, this is a quick overview and highlights of Oahu.
