Why Guided Group Tours are the Best Way to Experience Oahu

If you’re planning a trip to Oahu, why not consider touring the island in a group? Oahu group tours are often less complicated, more immersive and more engaging than solo sightseeing, and here are just a few reasons why.

Great Tour Guides

With all types of guided tours, the most important factor is almost always the tour guide. Most of the tour guides who run Oahu tours are from the area and have a wealth of local knowledge to make your tour more engaging. You’ll go off the beaten path and experience sites on the island that may not be in any guidebook. Tour guides for group tours also dedicate themselves to building personal relationships and rapport with the members of their group, so you’re likely to be on a first name basis before you head back home.

Discounted Group Rates

Popular locations like the Dole Plantation offer discounts to groups that you’d never be able to get alone. With a big tour group, your tour guide’s company can often buy discounted tickets to these attractions and pass on these discounts to you. This means that by paying for group tours around the island, you’re often getting a better overall value.

A Sense of Community

People come from around the world to experience the many wonders that Hawaii’s most populous island has to offer, so you’re likely to meet some interesting people in your tour group. Vacationing with such a diverse group of people is a great way to broaden your horizons and make new friends.

Unbeatable Access

There are some sites that are just easier to get to with a tour group. The USS Arizona tours offered at the Pearl Harbor Memorial are notoriously hard for individuals to get a hold of, but if you’re in a tour group, they’ve probably booked the tickets months in advance. Joining a tour group is a great way to make sure you don’t fly all the way to Oahu just to be closed out of your favorite attractions.
