    Oahu Grand Circle Tour
    The Oahu Grand Circle Tour was amazing with Johnny! His knowledge, humor, and experience in conducting tours of this nature are exceptional and world-class. He engages everyone with so much ease and ensures his group is treated like family/ohana. A main pipe burst in one of our stops and had to restrategize the whole. We ended up with the best views, the best games, and the best time. I highly recommend this tour with Johnny. Thank you so much!

    Very enjoyable day
    Cousin Johnny was a great tour guide. He made the trip very enjoyable with lots of interesting information, educational and fun. My daughter saw a turtle when snorkelling. I would highly recommend this tour as a way to get to know the island.

    Great day trip to get an ‘over view’ of the island
    Great day out exploring the island, but the real star of the day was Cousin Johnny. Driver and guide, Johnny kept us entertained all day as well as being a wealth of knowledge. He taught us some Hawaiian phrases and so many facts about the state and places we visited. 5 stars to Johnny, thank you for sharing your day with us and being such a lovely person. And keeping us safe. A good taste of the island, but if you want to explore some of the famous beaches this isn’t a trip for you as tour buses aren’t allowed to stop at most of them. Wes spent some time at Sunset Beach which was nice but was part of the Ritz Carlton so was quite crowded.

    Had a great time with Cousin Johnny! Learned a lot too!
    Just wrapped up a tour led by Cousin Johnny. We honestly didn’t know what to expect this morning, with a storm in today’s weather forecast. ‘Glad we went anyway because we had a great time and learned a lot about Hawaiian culture, language and history. Mahalo, Johnny! We are ohana, for sure!

    Ask for Cousin Johnny for Ci cle Island Tour!
    Johnny is funny, entertaining, very knowledgeable about the history of Oahu. I recommend asking for Johnny as your driver for your circle island tour. He made the whole group of passengers feel as a part of his family. His amazing inside knowledge of Elvis Presley will surprise you!

    A Grand Tour of Hawaii
    The tour was fun with our guie: AlaPai Nui, "uncle Johnny." Johnny entertained us, gave us common Hawaiian words, and provided lessons about Hawiii's customs and history. Tour was a great composition for a tour of the island. We had plenty of time at the stops. Highly reccomend this tour.

Went on the Oahu ultimate circle tour in October 2023 with my family. Our bus driver/tour guide was Johnny Alapai. He was funny, knows a lot about Oahu and a lot of things in general. He told a lot of stories about his life and Hawaiin traditions (maybe a little too much sometimes but maybe it’s just me I want to hear more about Hawaii or Oahu history) he gave us pineapple jelly which I love, plenty of water and a nice 2024 Calendar which was from him personally so that was awesome! Johnny gave us plenty of time at some stops and he even paused the bus on some of the drive by stops so we can take pictures from the bus! I recommend this tour if you’re going to be in Hawaii for a few days as the price was good and watch out for discounts online and in the brochure you can find around the city as it was originally $105 online sale $85 and from brochure it became $65! Good price for an all day tour!

Let me tell you! DJ Ray Ray is the absolute best! I had the most incredible experience with DJ Ray Ray on the Hawaiian tour! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure that we had an unforgettable journey through the beautiful island of Hawaii.

Her extensive knowledge of Hawaiian history, culture, and traditions was truly impressive. Every step of the way, she shared fascinating insights and stories that enriched our understanding of the places we visited. It felt like we were getting an authentic, insider's perspective on the island.

What truly set DJ Ray Ray apart was her engaging and charismatic personality. She effortlessly kept the entire group entertained and involved throughout the tour. Her passion for the island and its people was infectious, and it made us feel more connected to the Hawaiian culture.

The tour was well-organized, and she managed our time efficiently, allowing us to visit numerous iconic landmarks and hidden gems without feeling rushed. She also showed flexibility by adapting the itinerary to cater to the interests of the group, making each moment even more enjoyable.

Safety was clearly a top priority for our guide. She provided clear instructions at every location and ensured that everyone was comfortable and secure during the activities.

Her professionalism was evident in every aspect of the tour. They were respectful, courteous, and patient, handling all inquiries with a smile and genuine warmth.

Thanks to this fantastic tour guide, our Hawaiian vacation became an unforgettable adventure filled with cherished memories. I would highly recommend DJ Ray Ray services to anyone seeking an authentic, insightful, and delightful tour of the beautiful Hawaiian islands. Mahalo for an amazing experience!

Cousin Johnny made this an incredible Circle Island Tour. He was educational, entertaining and kept the entire bus engaged as we circled around O'ahu visiting 17 locations!

I highly recommend doing this tour early in your trip so you can get a feel for the island.

Outstanding Review for Uncle Johnny - A True Master of Warmth and Wisdom

If you’re considering booking a tour with Ultimate Circle Island Tours, let me save you the time: do it! And if you’re lucky enough to have Uncle Johnny as your guide, prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience.

Uncle Johnny is not just a tour guide; he’s a storyteller, a historian, and the warm heart of this incredible journey. From the moment we stepped on the bus, he made every single one of us feel like family. There was a unique magic in how he welcomed us—not as strangers but as part of a collective ohana for the day.

His kindness is unmatched. Every word, every story, every moment of care felt genuine and heartfelt. Whether it was helping passengers get comfortable, taking time to answer our questions, or ensuring everyone had what they needed to enjoy the tour, Uncle Johnny went above and beyond. It’s rare to meet someone who can make you feel so seen and valued

Kapono is the greatest tour guide. He entertained our whole bus family. He brought us all together for an engaging tour; asking us trivia questions, telling us corny jokes, and uniting the different groups in laughter and fun. At the end of the tour we were celebrating our cousins’ birthday by everyone on the bus singing Happy Birthday. The whole trip was an experience that my family and I will remember for many years to come. I will encourage friends and other family members to take the tour and ask for Kapono. He’s the best. And if you’re good at trivia maybe you too will walk away with an original painting by this great guide. Lucky for me, I was excellent at trivia and left with a painting that will hang on my walls for years. As long as one of my sisters or nephews or great nieces don’t abscond with my painting before our vacation is over. Thanks for a great experience Kapono! You made my families Christmas vacation here in O’ahu the best.

During my trip to Honolulu, Hawaii, the tour guide was an absolute delight, infusing each moment with infectious enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge. Their lively personality transformed mundane facts into captivating anecdotes, making the tour not only educational but also incredibly fun. Whether recounting the island's rich history or pointing out hidden gems along the way, their passion for the culture and beauty of Honolulu was palpable. With a knack for storytelling and a charming sense of humor, the tour guide kept us engaged and entertained throughout the excursion, leaving us with unforgettable memories of our time in paradise.

Johnny was an awesome tour guide! He learned everyone's state/country and did a trivia contest as we drove to each stop. I ended up winning and he had a little award ceremony for me at the end with some souvenirs! He's so friendly and knowledgeable, very resourceful too! He told us a few stops before lunch that if we all used cash, he could call in our order and pay once there at a special window instead of waiting in line. Johnny was very attentive and kept us entertained the whole way with jokes, trivia, and overall conversation with the tour of about 20 people.
