Oahu Nature Tours

Fantastic experience: Brandon was a very personable guide, with an encyclopedic store of everything Hawaiian: nature, history and culture. He was helpful, attentive, encouraged questions, and his humor kept all of us engaged. He made learning fun. (I must say that he deserves a much better microphone than the one provided.)

Fantastic experience: We took a tour on 7- 25 Me and my hubby took the island tour. Brandon is literally so knowledgeable about the history of Oahu and not only that but the wildlife and the culture. Josh is such a skilled bus driver. I was born and raised in Hawaii for the first 8 years of my life, and I learned so much more about my home. And went to places I didn't go when I was a kid. As someone who is born in Oahu it helps to let professionals inform you about what's going on and what happened! Make sure Brandon is your guide! He is funny and keeps it appropriate for the kids!

Fantastic experience: Branndon was absolutely amazing, the best tour guide i’ve ever had by far. Originally we thought a 10 hour tour would be long and strung out but it went by in a flash. He is super knowledgeable about the island and hilarious. He kept the bus engaged and took us to some amazing places. I could not recommend this tour enough

Fantastic experience: We had the most amazing tour today with Branndon! He was so informative and taught us so much about this beautiful island, the animals that inhabit the island, the culture, the language and so much more. Our driver MJ was amazing, I was so impressed with the way he could parallel park that bus! The island is so beautiful and we enjoyed exploring it today. Thank you, Branndon and MJ!!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was amazing, super knowledgeable and friendly we had a great time. Got to see a lot of the island great way to start or end your trip.

Fantastic experience: The tour was so fun and amazing! Brandon was an awesome tour guide keeping us all entertained the whole time, super smart and knows his island very very well! Would highly recommend if it’s your first time visiting Hawaii, many beautiful sites you’re taken to explore and get some cool photo opportunities:) 10/10!

Fantastic experience: We had such wonderful tour around Oahu from this company. The guide and driver were very professional. Our guide was Brandon and driver was Anthony. Brandon was very informative about facts and details of the island and Hawaii. We felt safe in the bus as Anthony is a great driver. There were 8 stops and each is interesting and picturesque. I highly recommend this company.

Fantastic experience: Brandon and our driver were amazing! He was very informative and knowledgeable about Hawaii and the islands. He made it funny and pleasurable the whole time! We highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic experience: From being picked up by Brandon and our driver Josh, throughout the day, and to the very last minute before we were dropped off this was an incredible experience. My son and I learned more about Hawaii, history, native plants, animals, and lore than I could have imagined going into the tour. The sites are beautiful and the stops are well spread out. All of it pales in comparison to how truly funny and knowledgeable Brandon was. We all haven’t been able to stop talking about what we have learned since we left the bus. If you’re coming to Oahu and want to learn about the culture you’re surrounded by this is the only way to go. Mahalo A Hui Hou Brandon.

Fantastic experience: My wife got the ultimate all inclusive circle Island tour. She tells me that a lot of companies offer the same tour and she had to research tons of reviews to choose the best one so hopefully my review will help others know what to expect. I will address all the things she told me she would find in reviews. First off this tour has pick up (and drop off) spots near your hotel so it's easy to get to. Second, the stops that require an entry fee, are paid from the tour, because she tells me that she read some tours don't actually pay the fee at the various locations. Third, it has a lot of locations included and some stops are 15 to 20 minutes only, but we found that was more than enough time to get out, get some nice scenic photos, read any informational plaques and get back to the bus. At most of the stops we were seated 5 minutes before the time we were meant to be back. So if the stop is short, there probably isn't much to do there, so don't worry. Some complaints were that the tour was too long (apparently it's either too long or too short) but considering the amount of stuff you see, I think it's just the right amount of time. We started the day with a 730am pickup and were back by 630pm. They stopped for lunch which had a decent amount of choices and the lunch was quite good. The choices included, shrimp, chicken, vegetarian meals and pork I believe, so if all those aren't stuff you would like, just bring a sandwich with you. We both had the shrimp and it was really good and fresh. For dessert they took us to the dole plantation where we got a dole whip which if you have never had one, it's a pineapple based non dairy ice cream. Due to it being made locally with local pineapples, it tastes a lot better than the dole whip we have had before. The plantation also has a shop with a lot of pineapple based things to buy and we spent way too much money there :p Finally I have to mention our tour guide Branndon (with two n's despite autocorrect trying to change it). He made the tour worth every penny. During the whole trip he was providing us with information about the history of Hawaii and information on various locations we would pass by. The tour is great as is, but Branndon makes it so much better. I've added some of the hundreds of photos (had to keep removing till this review would be posted.. So only a few are here) I took so you can get an idea of the photos you can get.

Fantastic experience: This was the Best Circle Island Tour we have tried. All-Inclusive. And we got lucky to have the Best Tour guide Brandon! Very entertaining and took care of all of the Ohana on the bus. Plus Bus Driver was amazing. Never seen anyone parallel park a bus. Awesome day! Thanx!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was such an awesome guide, he was very knowledgeable about the island and kept us entertained. Also, can't forget to acknowledge the driver, MJ, he did a great job driving us safely around the island. MAHALO!

Fantastic experience: One of the best tours I’ve ever been on! Our tour guide, Brandon, was amazing!! The whole family had a great time and we enjoyed all the stops.

Fantastic experience: Tour guide named Brandon was amazing at engaging with the group and a fun person to be adventuring with. The tour itself was amazing and really allows you to get to know the island. I would recommend to people who want to see the beauty of the island while also learning its history!

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my tour with Brandon. His introduction of the Hawaiian culture was informative and fun. The tour itself is what you would expect when you’re on a bus with 25 people. You get to see different places and have lunch with stops at look out points. My favorite had to be stopping at the Dole plantation. What I enjoyed most was hearing about Brandon’s perspective of Hawaii life and he gave great recommendations of other places to visit during my stay. Thanks Brandon and good luck with everything ☺️

Fantastic experience: Brandon was a super, fun and informative guide! We learned so much and had a fantastic day!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was an awesome tour guide!! He was very knowledgeable and went into a lot of detail about the history and culture of Hawaii. I definitely came away from this with more awareness about the culture and nature of Hawaii. The driver was also great. Overall 10 out of 10.

Fantastic experience: Brandon was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable in the information of the islands and made the trip fun.

Fantastic experience: Brandon gave the best Hawaii tour of any of the four islands I’ve been to! Witty, smart, funny, and full of great info! I highly recommend requesting him for a tour!

Fantastic experience: I dont even know how to start this review because of how amazing it was. My mom booked this tour because it was rated as the best on Viator. The overall tour was great as it was very organized; the bus was very clean, but out tour guide was the cherry on top. Brandon was the best tour guide ever!! Most tour guides would be ,”oh on the left you have blah blah blah”. But Brandon made it interesting and funny. He was very entertaining and energetic. Normally, I would fall asleep during tours because of the tour guide’s boring and monotone voice and low energy, but not Brandon! During the tour he always kept me on my toes not knowing what he would do or say next. His jokes are on point and sensible. He is the best tour guide ever. -Raine

Fantastic experience: Amazing tour with so much guidance and fun. Recommended a lot of place to go to while we visit.

Fantastic experience: The tour was fantastic, and one of the main reasons was our awesome host Brandon. Not only he was very knowledgeable, but made the whole experience very interactive and fun by involving everyone in the bus. This was a great experience we will never forget, and will most definitely recommend. Mahalo!! Álvaro and Judit ;)

Fantastic experience: Brandon was amazing! Fun, Energetic, Helpful, Full of the Hawaiian Spirit!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was wonderful! He was so personable, gave us a lot if good laughs, and was so helpful about what to do around the island. 10/10 would recommend doing this tour to anyone in Oahu!

Fantastic experience: Just got off the All Inclusive Ultimate Circle Island Day Tour with Lunch and Waimea Waterfall with Oahu Nature Tours. Wow, what a day! Brandon, our tour guide, was enthusiastic, entertaining, knowledgeable and hilarious. Our driver, June, was amazing as well. Money we’ll spent!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was an incredible tour guide today on the trip around Oahu. We enjoyed detailed historical lectures, fascinating/amusing commentary on local trivia and a wealth of Hawaiian language lessons. My wife and I have never been so entertained and simultaneously informed in the course of a one-day tour. Pay Brandon more to keep him with your organization because his loss to another firm would be a heck of a tough position to ever refill at an equal level. Tour was worth every penny. Best regards, John & Marie Cignatta

Fantastic experience: Brandon was such an amazing host! He knew SO much about the history and flora and fauna of the island! Me and my mom and such a great time, it is most definitely an unbeatable experience here.

Fantastic experience: Brandon was very informative. It was nice knowing that he was raised here and he showed us a lot. We loved having the Brandon pass!

Fantastic experience: Great trip!! Rest up, there's a lot to see and it's a long day. From way up high in the craters edge to down low in the tide pools, Brandon (our tour guide) made this an informative, fun, and memorable experience. I recommend doing this first to get a great idea of what to do next on your visit to Oahu. Aloha!

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing tour with Brandon at Oahu Nature Tours. He gave us a wealth of information on the nature and history of Oahu. My family really enjoyed the tour and would recommend Brandon to anyone who is interested in a circle island tour. Thank you Brandon for giving us a great tour. You were very kind, funny, and very knowledgeable about Oahu. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Brandon was delightfully enthusiastic and amazingly knowledgeable in all things Hawaii. We had a great day with perfectly timed stops. He made sure there was no “dead air” along the road in between. Even the teenagers seemed engaged. Thank you for a wonderful tour.

Fantastic experience: Brandon was amazing!!! He was extremely entertaining and knowledgeable. There was never a dull moment in our all day tour of Oahu.

Fantastic experience: So worth the cost! Lots of information to take in. Taking the Ultimate Circle Island Tour, we learned so much history about the island. Our driver, Bennie, was such an amazing driver. Maneuvering the charter bus like it was a little compact car. And Brandon was an absolute GREAT tour guide. He made sure to include every person on the tour as if they were the only one talking it. I would highly recommend spending the money and taking this all day excursion. My daughter, Kimberly Morgan and I, could go on and on telling you how each stop was just enough, but you need to experience it on your own. Ask for Brandon!

Fantastic experience: The tour was informative, well rounded, and fun. Brandon was incredibly knowledgeable and energetic! He kept the crowd alive and laughing after a long day.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful tour! Brandon was fantastic! We were able to see so many sites around the island. We did not rent a car and this was just perfect. We loved all the facts and information he provided throughout the day. Loved his jokes and sense of humor. Thanks so much for a fantastic day!!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was great! I learned so much and we had a great time!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was so knowledgeable to explain everything we saw and gave us good information of places for us to explore. And the driver was very skillful and nice. He stopped when there’s need for the ladies. Lunch was good. I liked the spicy shrimp. We all enjoyed the tour.

Fantastic experience: We’ve just returned from our island tour with Brandon and wow- what a day! Brandon and his colleague arrived promptly at our hotel to collect us, from the moment he introduced himself it was all systems go. He made us all laugh, shared his local and general knowledge of the island and was an absolute pleasure to be around. Considering the day started (for us) at 7 am, Brandon had the energy of the Energizer Bunny the entire time! The tour itself was relaxing and informative with enough time allocated to each of the stop off points. Lunch was provided and was quite nice; I had the tempura prawns and my partner had the Katsu chicken. The only downside of the tour, for us, was the Dole pineapple plantation; boring and a waste of time, unless you enjoy all things pineapple! We would definitely recommend taking this island tour if you have the time. Fingers crossed you get Brandon. x

Fantastic experience: Brandon was our tour guide and I enjoyed his knowledge for us. Our driver MJ was very good at driving us. All in all a great way to see and enjoy the sights of Honolulu.

Fantastic experience: You cannot come to Oahu and not do this tour. It was incredible!! Absolutely remarkable! You’re able to see nearly the whole island to include landmarks, history, nature and wildlife and the countryside. And the guide that made all the difference was Brandon! He is gifted, knowledgeable and funny. He made the tour fun and incredibly informative. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this if in Oahu!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was fabulous. He was so knowledgeable and gave such interesting information and facts. He was so animated and fun to listen to. Great overall experience for our entire family.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Circle Island Oahu, Hawai’i tour! Brandon, the tour guide is extremely knowledgeable about Nature on Oahu. The highlights of the tour are Halona Blowhole ( a National Geograpic site), Pelé lookout (breathtaking, literally-very windy-views of the island) and the best Waimea falls (swimmable) Thank you so much for the great experience.

Fantastic experience: Brandon our tour guide (and Paul our bus driver) were both great! We did the all day circle tour with 58 total, on the bus. Every stop was a blast on the tour and it was a great day. Highly recommend. Very organized. Paul was an amazing driver and Brandon was full of fun facts and kept the mood light. Thank you both!!

Fantastic experience: Brandon and Paul were both amazing on the tour! Brandon was the best guide Iv ever had and Paul was a fantastic driver! Thank you for the great experience.

Fantastic experience: Tour Guide Brandon was a walking Encyclopedia... had so much info n presented well. He spoke for the full 11 hrs i was on the bus. Brandon was a funny young man which made it enjoyable with interaction. The tour consisted of multiple stops n the beauty in each was outstanding. Enjoyed my day! Mahalo Brandon

Fantastic experience: Brandon was a great host for our trip around the island. Paul our driver made us comfortable and safe even on the narrowest of roads.

Fantastic experience: Brandon was amazing on the Circle Tour! He was informative on every subject and cracking jokes to make it more enjoyable. The number of stops and the length of each one was perfect. The lunch was very good and there was time to get snacks between meals. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: We had a great time on this tour. Brandon was an excellent guide full of information regarding nature, culture, history and many other interesting facts. He is highly recommended as he makes each passenger feel comfortable and welcome with the aloha spirit.

Fantastic experience: A great experience. A long day but lots of fun stops. Brandon was a great guide - very knowledgeable, full of history and anecdotes. He was also very helpful and protective of me, as I walk with a cane and have trouble with stairs - he made sure I was supported throughout the entire trip. He also handled an incident with a displeased - and frankly arrogant - passenger who was raising a stink about not being able to sit with his wife or girlfriend or whatever, and refused to get on the bus at one point until someone switched seats so he could. Brandon asked the rest of us a few times if someone wanted to switch, while assuring us there was no requirement to do so. He asked the guy to call the office to discuss it, as he had no ready solution. (Joshua the driver offered to give up his seat!) Brandon kept looking for a solution, until he offered to have someone join him in the front of the bus, which solved the problem. He made sure to reassure the rest of us that week would still be able to do everything planned, even with the time loss caused by the entities a**hole who wouldn’t get on the bus. Joshua the driver was also terrific - he navigated the narrow and windy roads masterfully, and was my constant support as I carefully picked my way up and down the bus stairs. And … the destinations were terrific. All in all, a king but very enjoyable day.
