And You Creations Island tour was a lot of fun and the food is so yummy. I highly recommend. Jason AYC was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond. Jason has good energy. Ryuki AYC was learning the ropes and killing it. Very knowledgeable for such a young man, not born on the island. He was also doing Japanese translation. He will definitely grow as a tour guide. I was a solo traveler and felt safe with this group. Thank you.
Oahu Circle Island Tours: Island & You
One of the best tours I’ve ever taken around the island our driver Bart was the most knowledgeable and nicest man you could ever expect to have on the tour never felt like he was doing anything but his best for everyone on board. The food will let me tell you don’t need anything before you go. The picture of the shrimp lunch does not do it justice. It was beyond delicious and served by Bart just the kindest nicest man who would ever want to meet. Do yourself a favor take this tour over overall others and request Bart as your driver!

Jayson “Jay” and Ryaki were the best ambassador of Hawaii. I posted this mural of a picture taken during our trip which Jay said is the best depiction of “Aloha”. Words can’t explain, express, and describe everything, you have to live it, experience it, and just be there in the moment. I only wish we had more time to visit; the entire day seems long but not enough. If you have a longer stay, book the tour first then you can plan the rest of your vacation. So much information is shared, rich culture, fun day.

Oahu Circle Island Tours: Island & You
Just finished up the “Island And You” tour around Oahu with our tour guide, Bart. This was the first thing that both, my mother, and I have experienced in Hawaii (we’re first timers - as of writing this), and It was a truly magnificent experience and could not have asked for a better day or tour guide. Would highly recommend and would absolutely do this or any of their other tours again!
Oahu Circle Island Tours: Island & You
The tour was absolutely 💯 wonderful! Very relaxing 😌 and well worth the money 💰. If you want to know the Hawaiian culture and history, Jason and Junko is your tour guides! My husband and I really enjoyed all the stops and being able to experience the Hawaiian culture through sampling different foods, coffee and sugary snacks. We would highly recommend! Not to mention Jason and Junko from ANDYOUCREATIONS (AYC) was amazing! We loved that Junko translated what Jason said in her language (Japanese). So no guest was left behind. Jason and Junko thank you for the awesome tour, the great experience, for your kindness and attentive to the guests. You made our tour memorable and definitely worth giving you guys 5 stars!
