If you’re searching for things to do on Oahu that feel authentic and personal, book HiPrivateTours right now! Our guide Chris was incredible. Super knowledgeable, laid-back, and genuinely passionate about showing us real Hawaii local experiences. He built us a fully customizable Oahu itinerary focused on food, and wow, did he nail it. We kicked off in Waikiki with amazing Kona coffee at a hidden gem spot, then headed to the East side for fresh poke and plate lunches at a local favorite. The highlight was stopping at Barefoot Cafe for their famous garlic shrimp and loco moco, followed by tropical malasadas and a scenic drive to Makapu’u Lookout with epic ocean views. Chris was flexible with timing, cracked great jokes, and felt like a friend showing us around. Best Oahu private tours we’ve ever done. Thank you, Chris!

​We wanted the perfect private Oahu tour and HiPrivateTours delivered beyond our expectations! Brandon was our guide and he’s seriously the most knowledgeable, friendly, and fun local expert we’ve ever met. He customized our Oahu itinerary perfectly around our love for food and beaches. We started with the fluffiest malasadas at Leonard’s, then hit the North Shore Oahu for the iconic garlic shrimp at Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck, so worth it! After that, we cruised to Sunset Beach to spot sea turtles, stopped at Haleiwa for shave ice, and ended with breathtaking views from the Pu’u o Mahuka Heiau lookout. Brandon was so flexible when we wanted extra photo stops and shared the best Hawaii local experiences and insider tips. Hands down one of the best Oahu private tours we could’ve chosen. 

Chris and HiPrivateTours made our Oahu vacation unforgettable. We booked a fully customizable Oahu itinerary and he picked us up right from Waikiki hotel. We started with the famous garlic shrimp on the North Shore Oahu, then enjoyed fresh, warm malasadas that were incredible. Next we swam with sea turtles at a peaceful beach, took a short hike to a beautiful waterfall, and finished with stunning sunset views from a quiet lookout. Chris is so knowledgeable about Oahu, friendly, flexible with our requests, and genuinely fun to tour with. He shared tons of great Hawaii local experiences and insider stories. If you're looking for the best Oahu private tours and authentic things to do on Oahu, this is the one. 5 stars aren’t enough! Highly recommend.

​We cannot recommend Jody (our driver/guide) highly enough. Every aspect of our day was fantastic from the pre-tour communication to the drop off at the end of the day. He was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and the places we visited but also willing to admit he didn't know an answer rather than making something up. The vehicle was comfortable. We had a general plan for the day and Jody gave extra suggestions along the way which further enhanced our tour. We saw a lot more than we would have on our own. Having a driver with local knowledge saves time looking at maps or for parks, toilets etc and meant all of us could enjoy the views. We would definitely do something similar again. Jody also took great photos of our group meaning we didn't have to resort to selfies or rotate having a person missing.

A fantastic opportunity to see sites and locales outside of Honolulu. Jody took us to beaches, vistas, and sites that we would have never been able to find on our own. Aided by his healthy amount of local knowledge, we were able to get context for what we were seeing. He was also able to summon sunshine and rainbows at key moments :) We could not have asked for a better experience. We visited places we would not have known to see on our own and were left 'hungry' for a return visit. Thanks!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: ALOHA Steven, Thank you for spending the time you had left here on Oahu with me, and the great review too! So nice to hear that you had as much of a good time as I did. Maybe we can see more next time! A Hui Ho (Till we meet again) JODY

We're so glad we booked Jody for our first full day on the island! He was very friendly and knowledgeable -- equally so in English and Japanese. He took us to some places we had requested and added a few stops we wouldn't have known about on our own. We'll definitely look him up again the next time we visit Oahu. If you see that he's available for a tour, don't think twice. Book him before someone else grabs the day that you want!

Jody M, is not only knowledgeable but very accommodating during our tour. WE thoroughly enjoyed the tour and then, some! Highly recommended for best service, excellent information about the places we visited, and commendable attitude. He was very vibrant, energetic, and noted the pride for the job he was doing. He was very caring, enthusiastic, and very polite each step of the way. Jody could almost anticipate what is best for his clients. Thank you for such an entertaining day.

Jody was awesome. This was our first time on Oahu and the tour allowed us to see so much of the area and get our bearings. From Waikiki and downtown; to the famous North Shore and surfing town; to visiting a coffee farm and lunch of famous garlic shrimp; a botanical garden and waterfall; seeing sea turtles swimming near the beach. On the way Jody told us the whole history of the Hawaiian people, which gave us an appreciation of the culture and islands. Highly recommended for your first day!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Aloha Barbara’s, Mahalo Nui Loa for the great review! I am so glad to hear that you guys had so much fun, because I sure did too. Coffee and Malasadas! You cannot go wrong. Jody
