About Oahu Half Day Tours
With over a decade in the business we at Oahu Half Day Tours have noticed that a substantial amount of visitors to Hawaii do not have the energy and attention span for a full day excursion. Most will jump on a bus with 40 other strangers for a 10 hour tour and actually visit only 6 general places. What tends to happen a lot is you’ll end up waiting on other strangers between long and frequent bathroom breaks, someone’s lunch order goes wrong, and one group usually just gets lost.
Oahu Half Day Tours is built around efficiency
Our expert guides will get you from iconic spots to beautiful beaches and hit all the cool hidden stuff in between without any hinderances or large crowded tourist buses trudging down the street holding you back.
Our private half day tours enable you to customize a days itinerary around your interests and your schedule and the freedom to enjoy so much more than those buses full of strangers in half the time. You’re not hindered by anyone else’s schedule, wants, or needs. Also we know all the secret spots you didn’t know you needed to experience yet!
Everything you need but in half the time!
