An unforgettable experience! - We had a fantastic experience on this tour! It ended up being just my husband and I on the tour bus. Captain Vince went above and beyond by giving us a private, customized day instead of canceling. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. Captain Vince truly makes you feel like family. Every stop was enjoyable, and he even added a surprise visit to Kualoa Ranch, which made the day extra special. Highly recommend this tour! Captain Vince will truly make this an unforgettable experience!

Amazing tour guide I give... - Amazing tour guide I give him a 10 out of five rating. I will definitely book with him again in the future when I come back to Hawaii. He was very welcoming, funny and showed his passion for what he does. It was nothing but a stellar experience.

Capt. Vinces Island Tour - This tour was booked as a group tour, however my wife and I were the only two participating. The guide, Capt. Vince went ahead with the tour anyway, which was very much to our advantage, it had become a private tour. The tour was exceptional, Capt. Vince's local knowledge of both the Island, and the people we were dealing with first class. The tour left our hotel at 6.30am to get ahead of the crowds later in the day, and did exactly that. We found we didn't have to line up anywhere. The tour was excellent and the guide, Capt. Vince was first class.

Great way to see the island - Captain Vince was an awesome captain and tour guide showed us a lot of great spots all over the island. Tell us a little bit of the native tongue. My family and I had a great time would definitely look Captain Vince up when we come back.

Book with 1 Epic Tour Co! - Captain Vince, owner / operator of 1 Epic Tour was awesome. Very knowledgeable and an enjoyable day. He made everyone in our tour group (all total strangers) feel like family right from the start and he was known and loved at every stop. 6 stars.

This was the best... - This was the best experience! Captain Vince went above and beyond. He ensured all passengers were engaged, entertained, and having fun while experiencing true Hawaiian culture / traditions. He is SO knowledgeable and answered every question we had with enthusiasm.

See Oahu in one day! Highly recommend! - Great, comprehensive tour of Oahu. Captain Vince is knowledgeable, personable, and kept us entertained the entire 9 hours. :-) His was the only tour we could find that took us to both the Byodo-In Temple and the Waimea Falls -- they were "must-sees" for us. We highly recommend Captain Vince and this tour.

Experience the nature of Hawaii - Considered the best and biggest botanical gardens in Oahu. A must for gardeners and botanist. It's a 1.5 mile walk one way so 3 miles round trip. The main drag is paved but the side trails are often times dirt and uphill so hard for a person with a wheelchair or walker. One can pay extra for a go-cart shuttle ride to or round trip to the waterfall that leaves at certain designated times. Many of the plants are labelled. swimming in the waterfall is optional. Pool seemed smaller than I was expecting. Changing rooms, life vest for lease and towels for sale I think are available on sight. If you are doing both the gardens and swim I'd recommend at least two hours there. The pool has a little slanted cement walk down but the rocks can be slippery. If you take the shuttle round trip you breeze past through the gardens, I took the shuttle to the waterfall and then walked back. Price was like ten dollars. You get a wooden nickel for each ride as proof of fair. Friendly staff.
