About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Veronica B0 contributionsAn Amazing Paddleboarding Adventure!I had an incredible time paddleboarding! The experience was both relaxing and exhilarating, with stunning views of the surrounding water and scenery. The paddleboard was sturdy and easy to use, making it perfect for both beginners and more experienced paddlers. What I loved most was the peacefulness of being out on the water, away from the noise and distractions of daily life. It was a great way to connect with nature and enjoy a good workout at the same time. The staff were super friendly and provided helpful tips to make the experience smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to try something new or are a seasoned paddleboarder, this activity is a must. I’ll definitely be back for more adventures on the water!Written 12 January 2025
- Veronica B0 contributionsA Memorable Day for the Whole Family!Our family had an amazing experience on the Family-Friendly Private Circle Island Tour with MSH Hawaii Tour! From the moment our guide greeted us with a warm aloha, we knew we were in for a special day. They were incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating, making sure every stop and activity suited our family’s needs and interests. The tour included breathtaking locations like Diamond Head, the stunning beaches of the North Shore, and the lush Waimea Valley. The kids especially loved seeing the sea turtles and trying fresh tropical fruit at a roadside stand. Our guide shared fascinating Hawaiian history and legends, keeping both the adults and kids engaged throughout the journey. The private aspect of the tour made it so convenient and relaxing. We didn’t feel rushed, and we could spend extra time at the spots we loved most. The vehicle provided by MSH Hawaii Tour was spotless, comfortable, and stocked with water and snacks, which was such a thoughtful touch. We also got to try local delicacies like garlic shrimp and shave ice – truly a treat! The guide’s enthusiasm and genuine love for Oahu shone through, making this a day we’ll always remember. If you’re looking for a personalized, family-friendly way to explore Oahu, MSH Hawaii Tour is the way to go. We left with beautiful memories and a deeper appreciation for the island. Highly recommended!Written 12 January 2025
- sarahtessler2110 contributionsOahu friendly hiking experienceMy two teenage boys and I had an incredible time on a recent hike in Hawaii with Massimo Sport Hawaii. From the start, it felt more like an adventure with an old friend than just another guided tour. Massimo was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Hawaii. He made sure to tailor the experience to our pace and interests, making it feel personalized and special. The hike itself was stunning, with breathtaking views and lush landscapes. What really stood out was how Massimo kept the hike fun for everyone, especially our teens, while making sure we all felt at ease and comfortable the whole time. It truly felt like an adventure designed for our family. The boys had a blast, and we all walked away with amazing memories! I highly recommend Massimo Sport Hawaii for anyone looking for a friendly, low-pressure experience that’s perfect for all ages.Written 12 January 2025

- Coastal212531510520 contributionsVery patient instructors and a fun time!I bought a surfing/paddle board tour for two for my husband as a Christmas gift for our July honeymoon. Dan was our tour guide and he was phenomenal. He was extremely patient with us (especially me, who is more out of shape) and was very kind to us. He also showed us a shaved ice place on the way back to our hotel (which my husband and I tried and it was AMAZING.) The conversations to our paddle spot and during the tour were insightful and educational about life on Hawaii. Even though my arms are going to be sore tomorrow, we both had a fantastic time and look forward to booking another paddle board tour with Massimo Hawaii tours when we come back to Hawaii someday. 😀Written 21 July 2024

We really wanted our family to see the USS Arizona Memorial during our vacation on Oahu. The Park Service system for getting (cheap) tickets is a circus with very low odds of success during busy season. Although we (happily) paid a premium, Massimo was able to secure Arizona tickets for the date and time that our group of seven people needed. He was very responsive by phone, text, and email, and payment was easy via PayPal or Venmo. He emailed the pdf tickets to us the day before the tour, and our family had a great day in the Pearl Harbor & Waikiki area, which got off to a terrific start at the USS Arizona. Thank you Massimo for all your help!

When we tried to get tickets for Pearl Harbor, they were sold out. We were able to get tickets through this site. It was expensive, but it was really the only reason we were going to Honolulu, HI. We didn’t know that due to COVID restrictions they would limit the amount of visitors. Massimo arrived early, secured tickets for us. We never had to wait in line. We were able to see both museums before we got on the boat for the USS Arizona. After, he was right on time to pick us up.

The guide, Nicole, was at our hotel (Royal Hawaiian) on time; drove us to the staging area for the tour where we saw a very informative and moving film (about 1 hour) detailing the events leading to WWII and that fateful day at Pearl Harbor. We then went to the ferry that took the group to the Arizona Memorial. It is a moving and fascinating experience. The tour experience was first rate. Recommended highly.

Aloha! I had an amazing experience with MSH tour to visit Pearl Harbor. The tour was really well organized. Everything ran so smoothly. Despite the crowd we did not have to wait a second in line. Massimo took the tickets for all of us at the time we suggested and gave us all the instructions for the tour. We were leaving from Hawaii that same day and we were concerned that we would not have enough time to see everything. There were lots of people waiting in line but, thanks to Massimo's help and experience, we were just able to do all the attractions within our limited time.

We only had one day to see some highlights of Oahu. We customized a tour for 6 of us with private transposition. Nicolle picked us up at the cruise ship and took us to Pearl Harbor. We were there 2-1/2 hours and then Nicole picked us up as we were on to our next adventure. She took us on a tour of the North Shore from a local's perspective. We had lunch at Killer Taco's and it was very good. We had a great day! We arrived back at the cruise port after dark. It was a full day.

can you take out the hotel pick up and drop off if you're driving in from another location and plan to park there?
Written 15 July 2019
You wouldn’t need to do this tour if you are driving yourself there. You would be able to find your own way around Pearl harbour and there is a bus that takes you to the Battleship Missouri which is the best attraction in our opinion. The submarine is also good but we were a bit disappointed with the memorial because you couldn’t go onto it. The only problem with not doing a tour is it might be difficult to get a ticket for the memorial, not sure about that. But if you still can’t walk on it you wouldn’t be missing much. Hope that helps.

Written 7 June 2018
The tour still runs but you can not get off at the monument. However they do take you around the Arizona by boat and then a yrip past the Missouri.
