Let Us Know About Your Dietary Needs
Tell us about any food allergies, dietary restrictions, or food preferences when planning your private Oʻahu food experience. We can take your needs into consideration when shaping and reviewing the itinerary, including the types of food stops and experiences that may be suitable for your group.
Whether you avoid certain ingredients, follow a specific diet, or simply have foods you prefer to enjoy—or avoid—sharing this information in advance helps us plan with your group in mind.
Important: Food allergies and dietary requirements require direct confirmation with each food provider. Menus, ingredients, preparation methods, cross-contact practices, and vendors may change without notice. Guests should always communicate their requirements directly to the food provider and confirm that a particular dish is suitable before consuming it. We cannot guarantee that any food stop or menu item will be free from a specific allergen or meet a particular dietary requirement.

Koasta planned 8 days for 9 people and three islands with daily activities. He planned transportation to each activity , from/to each island and hotel. It went flawlessly. I know It was a lot to plan and organize with 9 opinions on everything but he was excellent. Our trip was perfect!! If we come back to Hawai’i ,I would definitely use Koasta.Posted on Google![]()

Booked a Private North shore tour of Oahu and it was amazing. Our guide took us hiking at the sunset pillbox and showed us one of the best views on the north shore. We also went cliff jumping at Waimea and hit up some local food trucks in Haleiwa. Super fun day packed with lots of adventures🤙🏽Posted on Google![]()

My cousin and I came to Hawaii to try something new and have fallen in love with the islands. Our tour guide Koasta helped feel connected to the people and the culture. Something he said that stuck with me is that Hawaii needs healthy tourism where people learn about the culture and its people in a sustainable way. Thank you for showing us Hawaii the right way.Posted on Google![]()

Koasta did an amazing job helping us plan our first Hawaiian vacation. He listened to what we wanted to do and how long we wanted to go. And he created the most amazing 2 week vacation in which we got to visit 4 islands. It couldn't have been any more perfect. It was also very easy to communicate with him both before and during our trip. If we had any questions while on the trip he would get back to us very quickly to answer them. And lastly, he reached out to us afterwards to see how everything went. My family highly recommends working with Koasta if you want a fabulous Hawaiian vacation.Posted on Google![]()

So much fun on our Oahu private tour!!! I felt like I was laughing the entire day. Loved being able to see Pearl Harbor and being able to kayak all in the same day. Our guide was amazing and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun day.Posted on Google![]()

Loved this private tour! We wanted to go beach hopping and see more hidden areas on our tour of Oahu and it’s exactly what we got. Our guide took us through the North shore and showed us Kewala Bay. He told us that this is where lots of movies had been filmed. He took us paddleboarding in Halewia to finish off the day and we even saw a few sea turtles. Thank you for making our day special!Posted on Google![]()

Seeing all the hidden sights on our Oahu private tour was the best way to spend one of our days in Hawaii. Our guide was very kind and funny. He has a deep passion for the Hawaiian culture and we could really feel that as he shared about Hawaii. We had a blast with him all day!Posted on Google![]()

We found the best local food on our Oahu Private tour. Our guide took us to the food trucks on the north shore and it was the best meal we had our whole trip. Our guide recommended Da bald guy and it did not disappoint. Any sort of recommendation we needed he provided and they all ended up being major hits. Locally Hawaii definitely know their stuff!!!Posted on Google![]()

We booked an Interisland tour from Kauai and loved it. We wanted to see Pearl Harbor even though we were staying on a different island and this gave us the perfect way to do it. We flew over in the morning, did our private tour and then flew back all in the same day. Everything was perfectly planned and made the whole thing stress free.Posted on Google![]()

Had an awesome day with Locally Hawaii on our Big Island Private tour. We flew over from Oahu to see the volcano and it was a cool experience. Flying between the islands only took us like 45 minutes so it was easy to hop over for the day. The tour was super chill and we got to see a huge water fall and the active volcano. It was nice not having to worry about planning everything ourselves and just being able to enjoy the day.
Oahu Foodie Private Tour FAQs
What is an Oahu Foodie Private Tour?
It is a fully private, full-day food experience on Oahu built around local flavors, Hawaiian culinary traditions, and the places your group wants to taste. You travel only with your own group in a private vehicle with a local guide. The itinerary is shaped around your interests rather than a fixed group schedule.
How much does the Oahu Foodie Private Tour cost?
Tours start at $899 per private vehicle. Larger groups of 14 or more can request a custom quote. The price includes private transportation, a local guide, hotel pickup and drop-off from Waikīkī and select locations, bottled water, and phone chargers. Food and beverage costs depend on the specific itinerary and are confirmed at booking.
Is food included in the tour price?
Food and beverage inclusions depend on the specific itinerary and booking. Your confirmation will clearly state what is included and what, if anything, is purchased separately. Where food is not included, guests purchase items directly from the restaurants, vendors, or other food providers they visit
How long is the Oahu Foodie Private Tour?
The standard experience is a full day of approximately 8 hours. Exact timing can flex with traffic, weather, food-stop operating hours, and your group’s preferred pace. We design the itinerary to give you time to enjoy each experience without feeling rushed.
Can the tour accommodate dietary restrictions or food allergies?
Yes. Tell us about food allergies, dietary restrictions, or food preferences when planning your experience. We can take those needs into consideration when shaping the itinerary. Because ingredients, menus, preparation methods, and cross-contact practices can change, guests should always confirm directly with each food provider before consuming food.
Is the Oahu Foodie Private Tour completely private?
Yes. The experience is exclusively for your group, with no other guests joining your vehicle or tour. A private format gives you greater flexibility over the pace, food stops, itinerary, and conversation with your local guide.
Can we customize the food stops and itinerary?
Yes. Share your food interests, must-try dishes, preferred areas, or specific vendors when planning your tour. We shape the day around your group’s priorities where possible, while taking operating hours, availability, reservations, traffic, and travel time into account.
What’s the difference between the Foodie Private Tour and your other private tours?
The Oahu Foodie Private Tour is centered on food, flavors, and culinary experiences. The Custom Oahu Private Tour is designed for broader interests and multi-stop itineraries, while the North Shore Private Tour focuses specifically on the North Shore. Choose the Foodie tour when local food is the main focus of your day.
Where does pickup take place?
Hotel pickup and drop-off are available from Waikīkī and select locations across Oʻahu. Provide your accommodation details when booking, and we will confirm the exact pickup location and time for your experience.
How far in advance should we book the Oahu Foodie Private Tour?
Advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly during peak travel periods or when your group has specific food experiences or dietary requirements in mind. Booking early gives us more flexibility to plan around preferred vendors, operating hours, reservations, and your group’s priorities.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel your tour free of charge up to 48 hours before the scheduled start time. If you need to cancel within 48 hours, the applicable cancellation terms will depend on your booking. Review the cancellation policy provided with your reservation before confirming.

The Best Way to Experience Oahu Is Through Its Food

Food in Hawaii is never just a dish. It carries Native Hawaiian traditions, waves of immigration, agriculture, the ocean, family, and community. Your private local guide connects every bite to the places, people, and history behind it — turning a meal into a deeper understanding of the island.
