enjoyable insight into Oahu

This is quite an expensive day out $360 US for a couple but it gives you a good insight into the island particularly if you are first timers Pick up was on time and easy to reach from our hotel Lots of picturesque spots on the tour and our guide John was friendly and very knowledgeable - the Japanese Temple was beautiful the lunch stop at a roadside shrimp van was great and John orders beforehand to eliminate a long wait the only disappointing thing was the advertised "turtle spotting" - they are on the beach but you only get to see them from the bus as it slowly drives by - there was another area where you can alight but the turtles are much smaller and only two or three overall an enjoyable way to see more of the island than just Waikiki

Byodo In Temple would recommend

Amazing circle tour around the island with John as commentary and John as driver. Very well planned at all stops, a few time was lost when everyone was getting on/off bus. Other than that would do again, nice relaxing ride 100% worth it. Best spot was definitely the Byodo In Temple followed by amazing drive along the east and north coast.
