Frequent Questions

About 9-Hour Oahu Specialty Tours

The possibilities for a private 9-hour Specialty Tour are endless. Guests often ask what’s included, which sights they’ll see, and whether adventures like ATV rides, helicopter flights, snorkeling, or cultural experiences can be added.

The possibilities are nearly endless. You can design your day around almost any excursion or coordinate your route with a special event that brought you to the islands. We can position photographers at the perfect spots and timing. Plus Blue Hawaii fans will find plenty to love with Your Private Tours.

All admissions, tickets, and activity fees are a la carte. So you can book them independently or let us handle the advance logistics for a seamless experience. While there are far too many themes and activities to list, here are a few of the most popular options:

When it comes to pickup and drop-off, it’s easier to list where we don’t pick up. As long as the area is safe and accessible for our vehicle, we can pick up guests from nearly any legal location. If you’re a Hawaii resident, we might even be able to provide transportation to and from your home, depending on your neighborhood and event.  But hereʻs an easy reference:

We offer simple, flat-rate group pricing for private custom tours, designed to give you maximum value and complete flexibility. Our tours are fully customizable and priced à la carte, so you only pay for the experiences you truly want. Go big with all the bells and whistles, or keep it relaxed and minimal; it’s your trip, your way.

Oahu has way too much to explore to squeeze into one standard package, and we wouldn’t want to limit your experience. That’s why our custom tours are designed with flexibility in mind. Optional add-ons are entirely up to you, so you can adjust plans based on weather, traffic, energy levels, or (let’s be honest) how much fun the kids are having.

This approach also means no hidden fees or surprise markups, just clear, upfront pricing with no commissions driving the agenda. It keeps things simple, stress-free, and all about you.

Besides the unforgettable memories and nonstop fun? That’s entirely up to you. Every tour is custom-built around your interests, pace, and travel style, so no two experiences are ever the same.

Whether you’re chasing adventure, culture, relaxation, or all of the above, we’ll help shape the perfect trip for you and your crew. But to give you a head start on planning, here’s a quick snapshot of what to expect:

While our vehicles don’t have wheelchair lifts, we do our best to make tours as accessible and comfortable as possible. Guests need to be able to enter and exit the vehicle independently, but beyond that, we’re happy to work with you to explore alternative solutions that support your mobility needs.

In addition, please be aware some activities may have accessibility limitations so please reach out in advance.

We may even be able to store the device between tours. So please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly and help ensure the best experience possible.  But hereʻs an easy recap:

Our private tours are designed to delight guests of all ages. We can customize routes and activities to fit nearly any request, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone.

Most outdoor activities are suitable for children 6 and older. Certain adventures, such as horseback riding or zip-lining, may have age, height, or ability restrictions, so we’ll help you select the best options for your group.

However, please bring whatever you need to stay comfortable and have a fantastic time, within reason, of course. You’re good to go as long as it’s safe, legal, and fits in the vehicle! Just give us a heads-up about any larger items or special gear so we can plan space accordingly.

Please note: Alcohol and tobacco are not permitted in the vehicle or at certain stops, including public beach parks, trails, and select private properties.

But here are a few things you might want to pack:

Every tour is unique, your itinerary, group size, and destinations all play a part. You agree to a few crucial things when booking with us. We’re not into fine print or last-minute surprises (unless they’re fun), so we like to keep things clear and upfront from the start.

Here are a few key details to know before you hit the road:

Tickets and entry fees aren’t included, but we’ll coordinate timing and logistics so your day flows effortlessly. Booking in advance is recommended for the best experience.
