Oahu Sunshine Tours

Let me tell you about Miss Summer's, as a tour guide. She is amazing. Not only does she drive and tell stories without prerecorded script. She tells the Pearl Harbour history very well.... this Oahu Sunshine tour, representative (Miss Summer), is exceptional experience and respectfulness in knowledge. I am sure happy I booked this tour with Oahu Sunshine Tours. Thank you again Miss Sommers! The Gutierrez's Family

Hawaii in a day

This tour was extremely helpful to help my wife and I learn about the culture and see everything that Hawaii has to offer. Summer was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable and experienced. We recommend her for any other tour you and your family may want to book with Aloha Tours.
