Late pickup and disappointing tour.
Atleast 90 minutes late for pick up from cruise ship. Very little information provided during the various stops. Certainly didn’t last for the allotted time. All in all a disappointing introduction to the island not good value for the expensive price.
via Viator
Perfect for a small group
Worth every cent Troy was a fabulous guide he didn’t rush us & gave us exactly what we wanted with wonderful recommendations as well,he was very knowledgeable and a true gentleman. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a small customised tour,we will definitely use Troy again

Aloha nui private tours
Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Troy was knowledgeable and shared facts and highlights along the way. The stops gave us a real feel for the island and what is here. The trip and its planning is well thought out and Troy made an effort to check in with all of the businesses we stopped at. We requested and were able to off of the beaten path and still Troy managed to keep us ahead of, or away from the larger groups travelling the same route. Private tour is the way to go! Highly recommend this tour!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words. It was my sincere pleasure to share Oahu and our love for Hawaii with you.

Excellent Hawaii tour
Troy was a excellent guide. We only had 51/2 hours available for a 6 hour tour. We got everything seen and then some and never felt rushed. He was so friendly and personally. He took several pictures of us at the stops. Even dropped us off at the cruise ship. Highly recommend him for any of his tours. If we come back would only use him.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review. I look forward to seeing you again the next time you come to Oahu! :)

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PRIVATE Premium Circle Island Tour (12 Stops): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Honolulu.
How much does PRIVATE Premium Circle Island Tour (12 Stops) cost?
+
Prices start at $525 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 PRIVATE Premium Circle Island Tour (12 Stops) take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 PRIVATE Premium Circle Island Tour (12 Stops) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 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 PRIVATE Premium Circle Island Tour (12 Stops)?
+
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 PRIVATE Premium Circle Island Tour (12 Stops) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PRIVATE Premium Circle Island Tour (12 Stops)?
+
Around 10 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PRIVATE Premium Circle Island Tour (12 Stops) 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.
