Top Hawaiian Food Tour
Great tour! Our tour guide Mac is amazing, in arranging last minute hotel pickup, as well being knowledgeable, thoughtful and witty. Not only we had a great food experience in multiple restaurants, he also made our small group of 5 people quick friends. Also as a bonus Mac some incredible pictures of us along the southern coast of Oahu and the incredible Nuuanu Pali Ridge! We walked away not only satisfied, but totally stuffed.
Response from the operator: Totally stuffed is exactly how we like our food tour guests to leave! Mac going the extra mile on that last minute hotel pickup and then capturing you along the south shore and up at the Nuuanu Pali Ridge sounds like the perfect day. We're so glad your group of five became fast friends along the way. Mahalo for joining us!

Amazing Tour.
The food options were delicious and the views were gorgeous. It was my first day in Hawaii and I couldn’t have chosen a better tour. The tour guide, Mac, was awesome and absolutely hilarious. He interacted well with each guest and made the entire thing more enjoyable all together. 100% would recommend!!

Oahu food and scenery tour
Our food and scenery tour with Chris was amazing. We had such a fun time and delicious food. Chris was very accommodating to changing up some of the food items. A highlight of our tour was nearly flying away atop Pali Outlook. IYKYK.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Honolulu.
How much does Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $165 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Honolulu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Honolulu is not rushed.
Is Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 176 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Honolulu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour?
+
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's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour?
+
Around 62 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 Honolulu 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 Honolulu and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour 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 Honolulu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Honolulu?
+
Honolulu and greater Oahu run on early starts. Pearl Harbor memorial tickets release on a fixed schedule, the North Shore circle-island loop needs a full day, and the catamaran and snorkel runs off Waikiki fill fast in season. We rank on whether the operator secures Pearl Harbor entry themselves and how tight the circle-island itinerary really is. On Outty we rank every Honolulu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona Memorial & Honolulu Deluxe Coach Tour, Oahu Small-Group Circle Island Tour with Turtle Snorkeling, Oahu: North Shore Tour with Waimea Waterfall. 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 Honolulu?
+
April to June and September to November, between the wet season and peak crowds. 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 Honolulu?
+
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.
What is included in Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour?
+
Included: Lunch; Tea and coffee; Snacks; and Meals. Not included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 20 listed pickup locations in and around Honolulu.
What languages is Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Oahu's Top Hawaiian Food & Scenic Tour?
+
Across 176 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, the guide, photo opportunities. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
