This was an economical way to get a "taste" of the island, as we did not have lots of time to explore the entire island on our own. If you like to get a true feel for places that you visit, I would suggest this tour, as it highlights the island in an efficient and economical manner.”

“Aloha MK Tour is best way to see Oahu sites. I travelled in a clean, comfortable air conditioned SUV. Ken greeted me with warm Aloha vibes. The tour is private & best for solo or small groups. First stop was a local malasada food truck on the way to Lanikai beach. Malasadas are essential! He easily took me to the entrance of Lanikai Beach which can be tough to get to with other larger tour groups. Lanikai is a must when visiting Oahu! After Lanikai we stopped at a local chocolate factory. Booking w/ Aloha MK Tours you’re supporting local businesses and the community. I had enjoyed our conversations and…”

You’ll ride in an air-conditioned vehicle from Waikiki to Oahu’s North Shore for about eight hours. Your driver may tailor the day with stops such as Waimea Valley, Waimea Bay, beaches, shopping, lunch, or turtle spotting. Pickup is available from hotels, Airbnbs, and private residences.

“I’ve requested a refund for this tour, since the tour operator did not show up or respond to several attempts at contacting them. My party waited for nearly an hour at the location arranged for pickup with no communication at all from the tour contact. Luckily we were able to find a very kind Uber driver who drove us to the North Shore and returned later in the day to take us back to Waikiki. But, it was still frustrating to have an hour wasted and our plans change because of this tour operator.”
