The best decision I could take
When I started planning my trip to Hawaii, I started to look a lot of tour options to visit the North Shore of the island, that was when I find Etohi, after thinking, comparing and researching a lot I decided to choose this option. After my experience I am sure I made the best decision. Jimmy was our tour guide and he was so friendly, he knows a lot of things, knows the best spots to stop through the way. It was an amazing day, with amazing food, amazing views and Jimmy make you feel as you are traveling with a friend that is showing the place where he lives. Absolutely recommended.
Response from the operator: Mahalo Maria, It was my pleasure providing you and your family with an Exclusive Town & Country Adventure. I am extremely grateful you all enjoyed your day. Stay in touch my Mexico Friends. Aloha 😊

And Then Came Jimmy!
The BEST Oahu experience! My wife and I were in Oahu for a couple of days before heading to Kauai. This meant trying to fit in some sight seeing in one day, while on the same day, trying to get a COVID test for our flight to Kauai the next day! Needless to say, the day started out as very hectic with a lot of unknowns. AND THEN CAME JIMMY! After explaining to Jimmy what we wanted to accomplish, he quickly came up with a game plan. Jimmy helped us get set up for rapid COVID test before anything. He knew we wouldn't enjoy anything with the COVID test hanging over our heads. After the COVID test, Jimmy said "Now is the time to relax". We saw sights and visited locations we'll remember for a lifetime. And I have stories to tell our friends about all that places Jimmy showed us and the beaches we swam in. And before we concluded our tour, we received our negative COVID tests! You can't go wrong with ETOHI Town & Country and no one explains it better than Jimmy!
Response from the operator: Mahalo Ed & Mary, It was a pleasure providing you two with an Exclusive Town & Country Tour. I am extremely grateful the day turned out way better than it started for you two and hope it gets even better on Kauai. Stay in touch. Aloha 😊

ETOHI Town & Country Tour with Jimmy
Truly the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide was exceptional in every way and extremely courteous and insightful. As far as I am concerned, this is the only tour of Oahu. The others do not compare and are very impersonal. You get what you pay for with Jimmy and ETOHI! Enjoy a true tour of Oahu that will leave you begging for more.
Response from the operator: Mahalo Brent, It was a pleasure providing you and your family with an Oahu Exclusive Town & Country tour! Congratulations Ella on that dive certification, give my best to your Matriarch and stay in touch! Aloha 😊

Great
Jimmy is a great host and our experience was great with Jimmy. We recommend everyone to use his services if they wanna enjoy Hawaii in local way.
Response from the operator: Mahalo for choosing Exclusive Transportation Of Hawaii for your tour. I am glad you both enjoyed the beauty of our island! Happy New Year Mr. & Mrs. Singh! Best wishes! Aloha 😊

Outstanding Tour!
Jimmy made my last day on the island the absolute best I had so far! I’m so happy I took this tour. He showed me to all the places I didn’t get to see on the other tours and I’m telling you I saw the most amazing views Oahu has to offer! There is nothing like having a private tour. I was on a few tours in Oahu and they can’t compare to this one. I wanted to go kayaking; and of course Jimmy brought down all the equipment I rented right to the shore so I didn’t have to do any labor and I truly felt relaxed on my vacation. He is so patient and fun to be around, he makes the tour all about you and what you want to see, what you want to do. He knows his island so well and is definitely someone you would like to guide you around. He is an amazing photographer as well. He took all the pictures I wanted of myself on my vacation and sent them all to me so I could remember my experience. This is worth every penny and is an experience to cherish. He is definitely the first person I will call when I return . Thank you Jimmy !!! 🤩🏝
Response from the operator: Mahalo Angelica, Your appreciation for the beauty of our island is amazing and I am so glad you enjoyed your day. Exclusive Transportation Of Hawaii is extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of your island vacation tour. Aloha 😊

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Oahu - Waikiki: Circle Island Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Honolulu.
How much does Oahu - Waikiki: Circle Island Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $999 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 - Waikiki: Circle Island Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 - Waikiki: Circle Island Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 - Waikiki: Circle Island 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 - Waikiki: Circle Island Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oahu - Waikiki: Circle Island Tour?
+
Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oahu - Waikiki: Circle Island 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 Kevo's Beach Bus Paddleboard Snorkel Adventure North Shore Oahu, Pearl Harbor City Tour, Ultimate Pearl Harbor Circle Island. 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.
