E Noa Tours and Waikiki Trolley | Corporate Office — Attraction in Honolulu

We had an incredible time on the Circle Island Tour with E Noa Tours, and our guide, Kumu, was the best! His storytelling, humor, and personal insights really brought the tour to life. It was like traveling with a local friend who had lots of stories to share, making the experience educational and fun.

The convenience of being picked up right from our hotel was a big plus. The tour itself is perfect if you want to see a lot in one day, though you don’t get to spend too much time at any one spot. I think it's a great way to decide where you might want to revisit later in your trip, like the Dole Plantation. You don’t get the whole tour on this trip, but you get a little taste if that’s all you need.

The day was long but not too tiring. The drive is broken up with lots of things to see along the way, so it never felt boring or like we were sitting in the van for too long. I would have loved for the tour to be longer honestly, maybe extending into dinner, and I’d gladly have paid more for that! Our group size was perfect at around 10 people (3 parties), which gave it a more personal vibe. Kumu treated us like friends, and it made the experience so much more enjoyable.

A word of advice- bring cash! We did not and felt bad not being able to tip our waitress at lunch or Kumu, who absolutely deserved a generous tip. A Venmo option would be a great addition for the guide. There’s also a cash-only store at the waterfall stop, so plan ahead.

Overall, I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get a taste of Oahu. It’s a wonderful way to see a lot in a short time, with the option to dive deeper into your favorite...

While I did not book a tour with this company, I had an unpleasant experience interacting with a tour guide named Steve who drove this tour bus attached in the picture on Dec 2, 2023 at 9AM. I admit that I was not parking in the correct spot as I was waiting for my partner to escort our elderly parents to the shuttle stop at Fort Island. Steve came up to me THREE consecutive times to harass me about where I was parking. The first time he did it in front of his tour group and the next two times he came up to me aggressively. I did not want to interact with him as he was being EXTREMELY rude to me, screaming at me before I could even respond. In the third and final encounter, he asked me IF I COULD SPEAK AND READ ENGLISH, while repeatedly gesturing at the parking signs. (You can observe the obvious.) This was where I draw the line to come here to express my frustration and review of my thoughts of this company. Oahu gets A TON of international travelers from all over the world. A tour guide represents the company they work for and must treat their customers and all people with respect. If they cannot speak to people with decency, they should not be working for a tour company. I know this company has glowing reviews but this person should not be working for this highly rated company if they cannot speak to people...

My wife and I went to Oahu to visit our son, a US Navy sailor while he was on leave. We thought it would be fun to do a bunch of tourist things with him as it was our first time in Hawaii. I chose to use E Noa because of good things I'd read...and when I booked the Majestic Circle Island tour, I thought to get my Waikiki Trolley tickets too. Sadly, I messed up the date on the trolley tickets. They refunded that without issue. So I booked the Salute to Pearl Harbor tour through them as well. I am SO GLAD I DID. Both were exceptional. Our circle Island tour guide, Keoki was wonderful, full of charm and wit...and knowledge. And it was a ton of fun! The stops were just enough to enjoy without overstaying. Even a little rain just made the trip more adventureous. Mahalo Keoki! You rule! It was a great day! Our Pearl Harbor tour with Noni Popolo, was also excellent. He gave us great advice, kept us going, and in an oddly quiet and dignified way (you have to meet him to know why I might think his normal mode is not quiet) made our tour of Pearl an interesting and enjoyable experience. And I dig his spotify list! E Noa helped make our trip a fantastic memory! And the Waikiki Trolleys go EVERYWHERE, or so it seems. I cannot recommend...
