My fiancée and I took a surf lesson with Massimo. We are total beginners, and while I am not a strong swimmer or super experienced with the ocean, my fiancée grew up near the beach and was excited to learn to surf. At 8:15 in the morning we marched up Waikiki beach to a spot away from a lot of the tourists with somewhat shallow reef waters. These waters had almost constant waves. Before we got in, Massimo chatted with us and explained all the fundamentals of surfing. We practiced some poses, popping-up, and how things were going to work once we were in the water. Massimo marched us out on a stone pier and helped us every step of the way out into the water. Some surf instructors keep students close to the shore where the waves are breaking lightly and they can't go far. That's not Massimo's style. He takes you out into reaf waters where the waves can push you far. He makes sure you are comfortable and as safe as possible (surfing is inherently dangerous) the whole time. My fiancée had a blast and even started popping up and trying to really ride the waves. I was very impressed with how quickly she got it under Massimo's guidance. Admittedly, I am a little heavier and less flexible, but I still rode some waves on my stomach on the board, and even rode a wave almost all the way back to shore. Be ready for a work-out, but it's totally worth it with Massimo's surf lessons! read more

Wow, what an amazing guide! After spending the first two days in Hawaii we realized we weren't utilizing our time as good we should be. We had heard of MSH tours from a couple we met. They could not stop talking about what a great time they had with Massimo, so we thought we would give it a try. We were able to set up a kayaking tour for the following day that turned out to be so much more than we had expected. Massimo picked us up in a Ford Raptor and gave us a beautiful drive to our location. Along the way he showed us popular places to eat, swim, layout and tan, surf, wind surf, wake board, mountain bike, hike, as well as some local food favorites, historical sites, and places they are shooting film and TV shows on the island! We got to our destination quicker than expected and were ready for some kayaking. We thought we would get in the kayaks and go for a little jaunt out in front of the beautiful beach of Lanikai, and that would be that. But Massimo took us to the Islands that are right in front of Lanikai beach called the "Mokes", as one island is named Moku Nui and the other is Moku Iki. What an amazing tour it was!! My wife and I have traveled to destinations around the world and this trip to the "Mokes" with Massimo is up at the top of the list! Along the way he pointed out points of interest on land and sea. It was great because we went at OUR OWN PACE. It never felt like some kind of guided tourist trap. We felt like we were out having fun with a friend. He was helpful and informative but also professional and sensitive to our personal space. We felt independent and free to have fun, as well as safe and taken care of. He spotted some green sea turtles and helped us to get close enough for a picture while ensuring we didn't invade their space. We saw some turtles on the way out to the islands and on the way back as well. Once we got to the island we were free to walk around and explore a bit. There are gorgeous tide pools and crashing waves around the island. We stayed there for a while playing in the water and exploring the island before heading back to shore. On the way back we were treated to great views of the island. The lush green mountains surrounded by white sandy beaches is a lot to take in and enjoy. Not to mention we jumped out of the kayaks for a swim along the way as well, the water is just too inviting not to. Once back on shore we hung out for a little bit before going over to a local eatery for a quick bite to eat. After the trip was over he went out of his way to make sure we had a good view of the sunset that afternoon. This was not something he had to do by any means. It was very clear that he did it because he cares and truly enjoys what he does. After sunset we headed back to our hotel in a state of bliss from the amazing time we had with Massimo that day. One of the most helpful aspects of the trip was that after spending the time we had spent with Massimo, it made the rest of our trip easier to plan out because of the tips he had given us that day on the drive to Lanikai. We have already set aside some time next year to go back and do some more tours with Massimo Sport Hawaii!! I literally opened this yelp account in order to let people know what an amazing time one can have when booking a trip through MSH. I hope this review was helpful in making your time on Oahu more enjoyable. You will spend a lot less time in traffic and more time doing what it is you want to do! read more

We met Massimo while staying at the Sheraton Wakiki where he is a fitness instructor in the swimming pool. He was so incredibly helpful and nice. He gave us plenty of advice on which tours and adventures he recommended for my family's one week stay in Honolulu, Hawaii. He told us about his business of offering private tours for families- this was such a great offering as my dad is older and doesn't like the hustle and bustle of shuttle busses, early pick up times and late drop off times from chartered companies. Massimo took us on a private helicopter tour for my family of 6 people and arranged all our transportation. The pricing is on par with regular charter companies. Massimo also took the 6 of us on an amazing private tour of Pearl Harbor. He picked us up from our hotel at 7am and had us back in a timely fashion. He was also very informative and the car rides were always very educational. He transported us around in a Black XL Denali and the rides were always very comfortable and luxurious Massimo also took us on a beautiful, exclusive access nature tour in an off roading in a brand new, luxurious Ford pick up truck to areas that are off limits to commercial charter companies. The views, experiences , and education along the way were priceless. He was also so kind to stop and take us to the coffee plantation and Dole Pineapple plantation and was so accommodating. read more

Had a good time with the driver, very informative and helpful, generally just a good experience all around.

Our tours were well organized and the personnel was informative and helpful. This company really takes the time to let each and every attendee comfortable. Massimo was extremely helpful with other island activities as well. If he doesn't provide the service, he will go out if his way to get you what you need. Massimo also taught my water aerobics class at the Sheraton and it was fantastic. I loved it!! Next time I am back in Hawaii, I'll definitely call MSH. read more

My Friends and I (a party of 4) we have chosen a customize and personalized private tour with MSH Hawaii Tours. They will offer you awesome Oahu Tours By Land, Sea, and Air. We travelled on aboard an exciting Ford Raptor F150 on Friday 12th July 2013 on the Circle Island sightseeing Off-road adventure tour of Oahu. Not only does a circle island tour showed us the best of Oahu's flora and fauna. It was fantastic! Our tour guide Massimo made the day. He spoke non-stop throughout the day explaining the history of the island, interesting features and locations. There were so many highlights about the day from watching turtles come up onto the beach, the exciting adventures to discover rough terrain where most cars cannot travel, the spectacular views from the world famous beaches of North Shore, we snorkeled in the crystal clear water of the Pacific. We also saw the Pali lookout and not to mention eating the best Hawaiian specialty apple banana lumpia. Very delicious! It is best things to do oahu , if like us you have limited time and we wanted to get the most out of our vacation. If you have a free day on Oahu and want to see the best of what Oahu has to offer, you must book a spot on this great tour, it is one of the best Hawaii vacation experiences you can have. Recommended! read more

Excellent service. We booked a full day excursion with Fernando from Massimo Tours and it was great. He knows all the fantastic spots on Oahu, so once we told him what we were interested - he planned a custom trip for us. And the owner of the company, Massimo, came to see us off in the morning. We started with a great hike and gorgeous jungle views at Manoa Falls. We then hit the North Shore for great seafood at the food trucks, incredible snorkeling at Shark's Cove and a swim with Sea Turtles at Turtle beach. Knowledgeable and friendly (and pretty good price - $125 an hour for a group of 6 people), it was well worth it. read more

We took the North Shore tour with Max yesterday and it was more than we expected. Beautiful views of the ocean and mountains, yes, but we also had the opportunity to see whales off shore and when we stopped to get out of the vehicle at a small private cove, we saw this stunning girl sunning herself! Just an altogether breathtaking experience! Money well spent and we will definitely be calling MSH Hawaii Tours the next time we come back to Hawaii! read more

We toured the island..having the best fish tacos...the turtles...Turtle Bay....coffee... sugar all in 6 hours....My only regret is that we did not have more time to go deeper into the island.. all this with a guide that did his best handling us. instant friendship. See you in Sicily read more

Just finished a heavenly stay at Sheraton Waikiki, where husby and i LOVED the daily beach body yogaquatics class, taught by Maximus every day in the Sheraton's fabulous Edge pool! Max is an engaging, encouraging instructor who really made these daily workouts fun. We only missed one day, and instantly regretted it:( Now back home, I just purchased two 6" diameter rubberized noodles from Costco, and husby and i will be enjoying this amazing workout in our own home pool....until we can get back to see Max, hopefully soon;) If you're wondering where to stay in Honolulu, you should know Sheraton Waikiki is the ABSOULUTE BEST and Max gives a wonderful, fun workout that eases every ache and pain you've ever had, and creates a beautiful start to every amazing Hawaiian day. Thanks so much Max!! read more

Water yoga with Max at the Sheraton was really fun. I did it with my daughter in the adult pool. I usually don't do yoga but this was great.

Nicolle was out of this world. Each time I travel I yearn for a local's experience and MSH delivered just that. It was personal, exhilarating and catered to our precise desires for a great vacation on Oahu. 5 out of 5, would recommend and use again! read more

Wife and I were staying at Sheraton Waikiki and decided try the daily aqua yoga with Max. Great class. Little bit of strength work combined with aerobics and stretch. Very nice way to start the day. Took a second class two days later with Massimo. Same format but with completely different exercises. I'm guessing you could take a class everyday and not get bored. read more

Daily water yoga at Sheraton Waikiki. Easy and fun and a good reason to get off that lawn chair.

Absolutely fabulous! We met Massimo while staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, he teaches the yoga and water aerobics class every morning. He really makes the class fun and engaging! We then signed up for the Kayaking adventure -- again another amazing experience. It was personalized, they picked us up and provided all the gear. We were new to kayaking and Massimo was so patience and informative on what to do and how to do it. I can't wait to get back to Oahu next year to do another adventure with him!. Highly recommend trying it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Just completed a great water workout with Brani (sp) at Sheraton Waikiki. He was personable, and got everyone involved in fun, but heart increasing workout. Not here long enough for tour, but he would be great as a guide. If you are at Sheraton, get down to pool by 930am for some fun in the sun. read more

Very enjoyable water workout at Sheraton Waikiki pool with Ben ... Looking forward to a personalized tour of the islands later in the week.

Enjoyed a great water aerobics class by Ben at the Sheraton Waikiki's infinity pool. So much fun!

Massimo Sports Hawaii is many cuts above the usual mass tour operators. We met him at the Sheraton daily 9am Yoga-Aquatics. He provided very customized private strengthening and stretching yoga sessions for us with amazing quick results; and then a memorable 4-wheel excursion to the marvelous, remote Kaena Park, where we witnessed a rare colony of protected Albatross, and a very active family of huge Monk Seals...unbelievably special place. read more

My family and I booked the Pearl Harbor personalized tour, and it was great! Booking through Massimo is the best way to go as he does all the hard work, no lines, no worries, no hassle! He was a great tour guide and took care of my family. I recommend having him pick-up and drop-off, as it makes it much less of a hassle of trying to coordinate your own ride, he does it all! Thank you! read more

Great water yoga aerobics workout! Briani is great even if he doesn't get in the water! We would have loved to book a tour as they seem like they know their way around the island!
