Right Place, Right Time - Oahu, Hawaii

Before Covid-19 shut down tourism,  Custom Island Tours’  Carey Johnson already allowed guests to create their own tours on his five and ten passenger luxury vans. “Now our customized options are critical for a lot of people who want to tour Oahu with just their traveling party, for obvious reasons,” says Johnson. “But this isn’t something we just created for post Covid-19 travel, we’ve been operating our business this way for over eight years.”

Guests who reserve a custom island tour can select their “must stops”, choosing from Hawaiian cultural sites, geological areas, popular attractions and remote beaches. If you choose to snorkel “we provide the gear.”

“The City Lights Tour starts with our famous sunset views,” says Johnson. “We walk the grounds of a lit up Iolani Palace, and check out other significant landmarks like Aloha Tower and Chinatown. The night culminates with the spectacular Honolulu skyline from Tantalus Lookout!”

 “What is most surprising to our guests is how economical we are compared to large bus tours. We not only provide a more personal experience, but an affordable one as well.”

Even without the need to social distance, Custom Island Tours is an excellent choice for Oahu explorers.
