Be prepared for a long day but a great way to see a lot of sites around the island. We enjoyed it and met some great people.

A day around O'ahu
Our tour guide, Johnny was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We certainly covered lots of stops. One thing that I was disappointed in, is that I assumed the Diamond Head memorial was located at the top of Diamond Head. It was not - it was located off the main road at the bottom. I should have done more research in advance. We are off to Diamond Head another day. There a lot of gift store stops. Overall a nice experience.

Turtles and pineapples...NOT
I have mixed feelings about this tour. Our guide Johnny was awesome. He made the trip fun and informative. His sense of humor was witty and I cannot say enough about him. The tour was...ok. We stopped many places to get the feel of the area. All Star Circle Tours neglected to tell us to bring lots of cash. Almost every place we stopped took cash only. Some took charge cards though. We stopped for donuts, fruit, macadamia nuts, lunch, and pineapple whip. Although it was supporting the local economy, I felt we stopped at too many places to eat and not enough historical sites. A little bonus attraction was a tour of movie stars homes. The only problem is we blasted past them too quickly and could not take pictures. The blow hole was terrific. One of five blow holes in the world it offered great entertainment. Swimming with turtles was a huge disappointment. We were dropped off on the opposite end of the beach and had a long walk to the changing facility. From there, the beach was located around barriers and into rock filled murky waters. Although the water churned up a lot of the sediment, and one cannot control weather, we saw no turtles and no one was able to swim. We were only given an hour and most of this time was spent changing and trying to navigate around gates, chains, and through bug-filled trees. I was able to wade in the water for 5 minutes and had to return to change and get back to the pickup point. Those who did not wish to see the turtles went on another shopping spree. Seriously how much shopping can one do in a day while on a tour? The Dole pineapple plantation was disappointing. I thought there was going to be a tour of the pineapple industry such as how the pineapples are grown, how much are harvested yearly, etc. We had a whole 20 minutes for this activity which was spent winding through the obligatory gift shop to the very back of the store to purchase overpriced pineapple whip. To purchase pineapple for take home are more than $20 for a package of two. Now that's pricey. I think the tour around the island was good and worth price but the afforementioned attractions leave something to be desired.

Fun whole of Oahu tour
A fun day with lots of sights and stops and a witty driver with plenty of local knowledge. The lunch place was decided for us, which we didn’t know about and limited our choices.

No Break from Chatter
The tour could have been fine, were it not for the deiver who would not shut up at any point. We were with this man for 10 hours and he did not stop talking the entire day. EVERYONE on the tour, aside from the few seniors sitting up front by him, were furious and we all got off the bus angry and complaining at the end of the tour. At one point one of the passengers had to ask him to give us some silent time and he refused. We would arrive at stops and he would keep us on the bus, with the door closed, foe 3-4 minutes while finishing his comments UNRELATED to the stop, and then he'd shave those minutes off our time available to visit the stop! Passengers missed out on important details about the island and poijts of interest because of the driver's nonstop stream of consciousness into the mic ALL DAY about facts and thoughts and personal information about himself and his friends and family and life that were wholly irrelevant to the tour. I want to demand my money back but instead I'll juat speak with my wallet and NEVER book through this company again.

Oahu Allstar Circle Island Tour: Dole, Turtles, Blowhole, Fun: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Oahu Allstar Circle Island Tour: Dole, Turtles, Blowhole, Fun cost?
+
Prices start at $84 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Oahu Allstar Circle Island Tour: Dole, Turtles, Blowhole, Fun take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.
Is Oahu Allstar Circle Island Tour: Dole, Turtles, Blowhole, Fun worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 148 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Oahu Allstar Circle Island Tour: Dole, Turtles, Blowhole, Fun?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Oahu Allstar Circle Island Tour: Dole, Turtles, Blowhole, Fun suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oahu Allstar Circle Island Tour: Dole, Turtles, Blowhole, Fun?
+
Around 52 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oahu Allstar Circle Island Tour: Dole, Turtles, Blowhole, Fun start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oahu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oahu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
