Traveler reviews
Wonderful Day
Our driver and tour guide John & John were both great. Very informative, helpful and fun. The only thing that could be improved is the length of time at the waterfall and botanical garden. It took 20 minutes to walk to the falls then the same time to get back. Leaving only 20 minutes in the water. If we had known ahead of time we would have worn water shoes as there were lot of rocks to climb over to get to the water. There was no time for the botanical garden except what we walked past on the trail to the waterfall. Overall it was a great day and I highly recommend it.
Great Experience
John J. and John H. were great, very insightful and amazing with my little one. We had a baby and a wheelchair in our party of 7 and they were very thoughtful and considerate/accommodating with our family. Definitely recommend this tour! Worth it for sure!

Wonderful Tour around Oahu!
We were picked up directly from our hotel at 7am... then picked up the rest of other guests at other designated stops. Places that Charlie took us on the tour was exactly where the information given to us had mentioned. We stopped to take a picture/video of the Blowhole, then stopped for complimentary coffee at our first rest stop. Next, to the Macadamia nut with shops and more complimentary Kona Macadamia coffee and sauce sampling. Then, preordered lunch stop to the Tanaka Kahuka Shrimp (you get a shrimp style choice with rice and corn). Not far from lunch we stopped at a fruit stand (bring cash). I got the banana lumpia (turon) and bag of garlic peanuts and tupig (wrapped in banana leaf)... nice to support locals. Next stop to the main tour is the Waimea Valley Waterfalls/Botanical Garden...very nice. Suggest walking to the waterfalls first and then walk back to see all the beautiful types of flower species. If you do go to the waterfalls, bring a change of clothes and towel and make sure you check in with the lifeguard to get your lifejackets (recommended) and the water is about 60 degree... make sure you have sunscreen, hat, sunglasses. On our way to the Dole Plantation we were to see all the beaches and saw some big turtles by the beach. Finally, we ended our trip with Dole Whip treat... I got the Pineapple float. It was a nice refreshing drink/treat. Long day tour, Charlie knew so much during the tour and the videos on the screen was helpful too. I highly suggest doing the tour with Charlie with Go Tours. Just make sure when he says be back on the bus by this time or we leave at this time, be prompt or give yourself time (maybe 5-10 mins prior to the time mentioned) so that it doesn't delay the rest of the day. Dress comfortably and bring water (prefer refillable bottle) and have a light breakfast. Enjoy! 🙂
