We really enjoyed our tour with Mac, definitely one of the best guides we’ve had. We would recommend this to everyone!

A fantastic trip! You’ll have a great time!

Catherine_E, Aug 2022

To be sure that you get picked up, get in touch the actual tour company beforehand - not Viator. Luckily, Mac, the tour guide messaged me in the morning to say he was on his way ……… to a different hotel. Anyway, it was quickly sorted and we had a wonderful day. Mac was excellent, and what made it even better was the fact our group only had 7 people. The mini van was very clean and had AC. Mac was very interesting and a good laugh. He took us for breakfast which was delicious. We saw so many amazing sights, from the sunrise, to gorgeous beaches, shave ice and turtles on the north shore. The temple was an amazing experience and we really enjoyed the Jurassic park music that he played as we drove past the spectacular mountains towards the ‘china man’s hat’. We also stopped for a cappuccino freeze on the way home. Delicious!! Absolutely fantastic trip. So glad we picked this one.

Amazing tour and...

Amazing tour and excellent guide! I will definitely do it again! Thank you for this incredible experience!

Great tour

Philippa_W, May 2022

After a slight mix up with timings and pick ups the tour got going and wow! It was a really great tour. Chris our guide was informative and helpful. We had a lovely group of 8 of us which was great. We missed the busy times of the tourist attractions and visited places to eat that other tour groups wouldn't know about

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Josephine_M, Jan 2022

I got to capture the most stunning pictures I have ever taken on this tour. My absolute favorite view was from Makapu'u Beach. The sunrise spot was gorgeous, and the mountains were beautiful throughout the tour. We also spotted turtles and whales! All of the food stops were delicious as well. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to fill their day with the best views of Oahu!

A truly amazing experience!

Sofiya_K, Dec 2021

The Complete Island Tour and Sunrise Photo Experience was absolutely amazing! We went on the day after a huge storm hit Hawaii, and half the day was still overcast and rainy. It was a wonderful way to spend a day that couldn’t be spent at the beach, and we got so many gorgeous photographs. Alex took us to some really great spots and helped us with some tips on how to get the best shots. I used my iPhone 12pro as a camera and Alex was able to show me a few tricks I didn’t know to enhance the quality of iPhone photos. Alex was also great about offering my husband and I to take pictures of us together, which is great. It was a long day with an early start but it was well worth it, and next time I’m on Oahu I fully intend to do more tours with this company.

Spectacular

Misty_S, Nov 2021

This tour was absolutely the best! We saw so many places on the Island! We learned a lot too! I highly recommend this tour.

We had a great experience Mak the tourist guide was so funny and acknowledged. We highly recommend this tour

It was incredible!

Natalia_A, Mar 2020

Fantastic day, so happy we booked with them! My daughter and I enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide was De-jay, what a great personality, very knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. He is that kind of person you wish you had with you if you get lost in the woods - knows stuff, and super upbeat positive personality. We visited very beautiful places, and pictures came out amazing, I can’t believe I had iPhone for years and never knew some tricks for the pics to come out great, I learned all that yesterday on the tour, the pics came out looking like they were taken with a pro camera. I really liked that there are only 7 people on the tour, it’s perfect since everyone can ask questions and get personalized attention. I also want to say, this tour is perfect for any age group, I am 36 and my daughter is 16, and our group had people of very different ages and we all had an amazing time. The whole experience exceeded my expectations.

Great Tour

William_R, Jan 2020

This was the first thing that we did in Hawaii and we are so pleased that it was. We got a great overview of the entire island and a lot of beautiful photos to memorialize our visit. What made this tour so great was our guide Alex. We had a Nikon D7100, a GoPro, and a couple of iPhones and Alex was very knowledgeable on all of them. He was able to show us things on these devices that we were unaware they were capable of. Alex was also very knowledgeable on all the sites we visited and up on all the history of the island. He seemed to know everyone on the island. Will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family who visit in the future.

Worth the early start

Susanna L, Sept 2019

This was one of the best tours I've ever done and I now have some brilliant photos that I have hanging up in my home. We had Mac as our tour guide who was very proficient with the iPhone and showed me a number of tricks and tips to give great photos. The beaches were beautiful during the 'golden hour' before sunrise and provided a wonderful opportunity for excellent photos. I also used my 'point and shoot' camera which Mac was also able to assist with.

Amazing tour! Guide was super fun...

Andrew W, May 2016

Amazing tour! Guide was super fun and extremely helpful with the photography. He had amazing spots chosen for us. If you're going alone though, some of your shots will be a bit boring. Nice to have a person wandering the beaches or posing in your pictures, since 100 photos of just a beach will get boring.

Bruce R, May 2016

It exceeded my expectations. Guide Alex, was knowledgable, articulate, personable and highly entertaining. He works hard, respects and truly desires to become one with the culture and history of Hawaii. He offered a lot of great photo/camera tips. Made me feel great that I decide at the last minute to pack my bulky Nikon D200. I felt like a photographer. Not just out there to get the point n' shoot selfies. Just when I thought I'd had my fill of Oahu this being my 7th visit, I discovered new things and new perspectives on things previously visited. The photos captured are stunning and gratifying. Some typical tourist compositions. But more so, great off the beaten trail, shots that pop. So many wonderful memories. Just a few hours into the tour, I was thinking, if the tour ended now, I'd leave immensely satisfied. Fortunately, the intense photo ops kept coming throughout the 10-hour tour.

Lawrence C, Mar 2016

Excellent guide/driver. He was familiar with each of the 8 different cameras people on the van were carrying and was able to provide individual guidance. I learned more about my camera in that one day than I had in the previous year that I'd owned it. Made numerous stops to shoot pictures and he was available to help whenever needed. Great group on the tour and a very good day. Pickups in the am could have been staggered better was up very early to meet the van at the appointed time and it didn't arrive until considerably later. Scheduler should have assigned different pickup times based on the hotels it was stopping at.
