Hi tallbuck, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review of Jojo and our tour. I have asked both Byodo Temple and our lunch stop to please add more facilities so the wait is less. Please know you have almost 2 hours at Waimea Valley and another 30-45 minutes at Dole PIneapple. With Aloha,

Aloha Jasziannete, Mahalo Nui Loa for your 5 star review of Jojo and Anthony and our Ultimate Circle Island Adventure with Waimea Waterfall:) Jojo is a legendary guide who enjoys providing excellent tours for our great guests! All the Best,

Aloha Bari, Thanks! for your 5 star review and for your excellent advice for your fellow travelers. This is very appreciated and considerate. Kainoa is a legendary guide and a great ambassador of Aloha! Yes, it is very important that all guests return to the bus on time so we can keep on schedule and stay at each visited location the allotted amount. Regarding Dole, we stop there for a restroom stop but also so our guests can see and learn about pineapple and the life of James Dole. Many of our guests love the delicious pineapple ice cream. All the best and Mahalo:)

Aloha Julia, Thanks for the good review but when I read it, I have to wonder if you posted it to the correct company? Our tour price is not exorbitant given that the tour is 10 hours long in a very comfortable, highly maintained motor coach that has large picture windows and excellent seats. The bus is professionally driven and you have an additional dedicated narrator. If you add the included delicious lunch and admission to both Waimea Valley and Byodo temple, you would calculate our tour price is lower per hour than any other O’ahu tour company. Plus we never take our guests to commercial shopping places other than Dole Plantation which we include for a restroom stop and because our guests can learn about the interesting pineapple plant and the life of James Dole. Since restarting our Circle Island Adventure on March 2,2022 your fellow travelers have rated our tour excellent 27 out of 30 reviews. If you read them, they highly rate both Jojo and Kainoa as providing excellent interesting and fun narration. To characterize our exceptional guides and their interesting narration that receive excellent reviews in the way you have really does not add up. Perhaps you were tired before the tour began or the great stories and scientific narration just did not appeal to your interests? The large windows are big enough to look out of from the other side of the bus. In addition during the 10 hour scenic drive around the island, you spend quite a lot of time outside the bus as follows; Halona Blowhole-20 Sandy Beach-15 Pali Lookout-20 Byodo Temple-30 Moiliili (chinaman’s Hat-25 Lunch at Fumis-45 Waimea Valley-120 Bonus Turtle stop-20 Dole Plantation -45 Total is 340 minutes or just under 6 hours outside of the coach so it is more accurate to say you spend only 40% of your time on the tour inside the coach during the beautiful, scenic 120-mile trip around O’ahu. So you are greatly exaggerating the time spent inside the tour bus. Glad you enjoyed the delicious lunch. If you had taken Uber, I doubt the driver would have spent 10 hours on the trip and certainly would not have paid for your lunch or admissions to Waimea Valley or Byodo Temple and definitely would not have the incredible knowledge and tour guiding experience that Jojo and Kainoa have; they are both legendary tour guides. Given that 95% of the reviews for our adventure are excellent reviews; perhaps you need to ask yourself why you felt so different about the value and expert narration than almost all of your fellow travelers? Mahalo,

Aloha Scott and Diane, Mahalo Nui Loa for your great 5 star review of Kainoa and Kim and our Ultimate Circle Island Adventure with Waimea Waterfall. Glad you enjoyed the delicious shrimp lunch. Hope to see you in Hawaii again soon. All the Best,

Aloha Jill, Mahalo Nui Loa! for giving Jojo and our educational and fun adventure 5 stars. Jojo is a legendary tour guide who greatly appreciates your very kind words as does everyone working at Oahu Nature Tours. We thank you and all of your fellow travelers for choosing our company to see the beautiful island of O'ahu. With Aloha,
