Solid knowledge of our guild. Shawn was fantastic, great time, highly recommend. Perfect day, one end of the island to the other.

Good first day tour

Susan_M, Jan 2024

Good introduction to history of Hawaii. Loved the mountains and seacoast. Friendly and accommodating driver/tour guide. Our favorite part was lunch at local food stand. Loved taro. Not so fond of poi

Great History Tour

Judith_C, Sep 2021

The Pali was spectacular and unbelievably windy. Very interesting stop at Punchbowl Cemetery. Learned a lot with our guide Travis. He treated us like Obama.

Culture tour of Oahu

Suzanne, May 2021

Loved spending the day with Sean and learning all about Oahu and its history. The sights were breathtaking even if the day was overcast. Got to try some cocoa puffs courtesy of Sean. The little extra things he did for us made the tour even more enjoyable Highly recommend this tour and guide

A wonderful and personal experience

Randall_O, Jan 2020

Lanai picked us up at our hotel in his Jeep and we spent the day on a personal adventure with him. He explained the Hawaiian culture to us, showed us many beautiful and sacred sites, and we got to sit back and let him do all the driving. Well worth the money - very reasonably priced for the private tour and personal experience. We will do other Jeep Tours in the future.

Personal tour with a native Hawaiian...how much better does it get?! Went to places only a local would know, plus Sean had excellent information about tourist spots. So what if we went in the rainy season and could not see grand vistas due to the rain and clouds...we had a great time!

Great experience - really nice to...

Rod_B, Jan 2018

Great experience - really nice to have 1:1 interaction with the tour guide. We were picked up and toured via Jeep not off road, and did not feel pressured time-wise, like you would have with a large bus load trying to stay on schedule. The driver/guide was native Hawaiian, and able to answer all our questions. Definitely worthwhile.
