Oahu Day Excursion
Published on Dec, 2024
John worked around our needs and wants and planned a great adventure for the day. My entire family enjoyed seeing all the sights and learning all the history.
A Perfect Day in Paradise!
Published on Nov, 2024
We had a full day tour with John from Aina Explorer. It was wonderful! John is a great tour guide and host, as well as being kind and generous. He accommodated all our requests and spent the time as we wanted. He had great suggestions on sightseeing, shopping and food. His knowledge of Hawaii's history is impressive and I learned so much. Would recommend him whole-heartedly.
Perfect day
Published on Nov, 2024
We had a wonderful day with John. We travel a lot and do many tours with different guides but John is definitely our personal number 1, we were all sure of that straight away. John explained everything really well and in a way that was interesting for everyone, he responded to each individual with a lot of empathy and was able to inspire us all at different ages. In addition, John is a very very likeable and helpful person with whom we all had a lot of fun on this tour. John immediately recognized where there was interest and fully responded to it. At the beginning, we discussed all the options and tailored them to us and we were able to adapt them spontaneously along the way. There is no better way to do this job and we can absolutely recommend it. Many thanks John for this incomparable highlight day

This was the BEST way to tour Oahu! Our tour guide, John, was great.

Really loved it and recommend this tour and John to anyone coming to Oahu.
