Great day - The tour was great for our family. We hit all of the top spots and got additional suggestions on other places to go exploring at. This was our third experience with this company and would highly recommended them for this kind of tour or their photography tours. Great knowledgeable staff

Oahu Photography Tours Complete Island Tour and Waterfall Photo Experience - Today we took the Oahu Photography Tours Complete Island Tour and Waterfall Photo Experience. Our tour guide/driver Andrew was outstanding, and the day was amazing and filled with great sites, experiences, and information. Started at a coffee farm where everyone could get a little pastry and coffee for breakfast. Then we headed to Waimea Waterfall, where we got the chance to swim. The water was refreshing. Then, we spent the other part of our two hours in Waimea exploring the gorgeous arboretum and botanical gardens. On the way to Kahuku Farms, we saw the North Shore. Stopping for lunch at Kahuku Farms, there was a huge selection of delicious food trucks. Andrew had excellent recommendations! The next stops had beautiful views, and Andrew helped us get wonderful shots, giving us photography tips. We also stopped at Byodo-In Temple, where I loved feeding birds out of my hand. One of my favorite views was that of Eternity Beach, where the water had the most stunning shades of blue. Our last stop was for malasadas from Leonard's Bakery- fresh, warm, and mouth-wateringly delicious. While it rained for parts of the tour, it didn't take away from seeing the beauty of the island. Since we experienced all sorts of weather throughout the day, we suggest bringing a light raincoat, rain poncho, or umbrella, just in case. The van held 8 guests very comfortably and had ports to charge our devices, which was helpful. The tour was money well-spent, and Andrew gave us tons of great recommendations to extend our enjoyment of Oahu! Can't recommend this tour enough!

Oahu Circle photography tour with Kurt - Kurt was our guide, kept it loose, provided great tips & information on the sites visited & Hawai’i in general. When he learned I was an avid birdwatcher he informed me which birds to keep an eye out for on our circle tour. I was shooting with a DSLR & my wife her cell phone and we both got the shots we wanted. We had a great time!!! The gardens at Waimea waterfall was our favorite attraction.

The BEST for a reason! - Booked this trip as a belated birthday present for my mom and it is easily one of the best tours I’ve had the pleasure of being on. Here’s the review I wrote on Google: We had a great time on the “Complete Island Adventure with Waterfall” tour! We were lucky enough to have both Andrew and Emily as our guided throughout the whole day. They were awesome! Both were very knowledgeable, kind, funny, and accommodating the entire trip. They went out of their way to ensure everyone’s comfort throughout the long day, and we got some great shots we wouldn’t have been able to get without their helpful tips. I’d highly recommend them to anybody visiting especially as a first timer. My only personal tip for the trip is to consider bringing water shoes in addition to the recommended close-toed tennis/walking shoes for the day if you’re planning to swim in the waterfall (also highly recommend!) to help avoid a wet sock fiasco and make things easier on your feet when climbing down and stepping on the smaller pebbles and rocks to get to the water. If you’re on the fence about it and it’s not in your comfort zone: life-vests are included and required so that was a big plus for us, too! This tour is a can’t miss! Thanks again Andrew and Emily😊🤙🏽
