Itinerary

To make the most of the morning light, your North Shore photo tour begins with early morning pickup at your hotel. Climb into your tour vehicle with your photo guide and group of fellow photography aficionados and take off for the North Shore. 

Get your day started with a visit to Green wWorld Coffee Farm. Producing 100% Hawaiian coffee, this small farm is known for its excellent products. You'll have the opportunity to try some (own expense), before heading for Waimea waterfall and botanical garden.

Photograph the sights in the forest while enjoying the valley's cool breeze and peaceful vibes. Depending on the time of year, you will also explore various locations featuring green sea turtles, pristine beaches, pounding surf breaks, and azure waves.   Midday, stop in the historic Hale'iwa town to taste some grub at the local food trucks. Stroll through the town to peruse the art galleries and surf shops that some say reflect what Hawaii was like decades ago. 

Return to your Waikiki hotel for drop-off at the end of the day.

I loved this tour! We saw so many beautiful sites and breathtaking views around the island. Mac was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, a great historian, and wonderful at sharing anecdotes. He was personable, engaging, and quick-witted, which made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this tour. As a nice bonus, he also gave us the photos he took of us at the end!

Great tour around Oahu....

Howard_Y, Nov 2026
Great tour around Oahu. The food trucks in Hale’iwa town were a great choice for lunch! Our guide/driver Chris was the BEST!

Amazing experience....

Kim_K, Oct 2026
Amazing experience. Relaxing and informative. Appreciated the smaller group size. Mac was funny and attentive. 10/10 recommend.

Awsome Tour

Gary_C, Oct 2026
Tour was more than Awesome! Chris, our driver and tour guide was Incredible. He went out of his way to assure our entire group (6 adults and 2 boys) were informed at every turn. Chris even adjusted his itinerary to assure we had good weather (Stayed ahead of the clouds) at a couple of key lookouts and still got us to all stops in a timely manner and gave us ample time at every stop. His suggestions at the food stops were spot on. He was more than happy to take multiple photos of my wife and I and the others when they asked, and his photos were excellent. We were extremely happy with the itinerary as we were able to see the most beautiful areas of Oahu we would have never seen, away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu with the best guide on the Island. If you book this adventure be sure to request Chris. Worth every penny we spent!

Chris knows the island...

Rita_H, Oct 2026
Chris knows the island and how the weather can affect one side of the island vs the other side of the island. His knowledge to adjust the itinerary accordingly to the weather ensured we had a wonderful time!

Good Fun

First Tour to Plan

Jeanne_S, Oct 2026
Excellent tour to start your trip it gives you many ideas for the rest of your stay. Tour guide Andrew was very thorough and was able to answer questions about the island.

Oahu at it’s finest

Julie_P, Oct 2026
This was an amazing tour! Communication was excellent, itinerary was as stated, small group as promised, & scenery was beautiful! Andrew went out of his way to make sure everyone enjoyed the tour! We had a diverse group that he had comfortable with each other within minutes. Never felt rushed, but also enjoyed Andrew’s knowledge of the island and his helpful photography tips…not to mention his sense of humor. Would recommend this tour to anyone!!!

Great Tour

Memory maker

April_J, Sep 2026
Chris was a fabulous guide. The trip was fun, the group had many laughs together. Chris made sure everyone was comfortable. He even made an extra stop, so I could have my first maunapua in 37 years! I would recommend taking this tour.

Fantastic First Day on the Island!

Leeanne_L, Sep 2026
I highly recommend this all day tour! Emily was an amazing tour guide and she did a great job sharing interesting facts about the island. We took this tour on our first day in Oahu and went back to many of the places that she took and some others that she told us about during our drive. One tip I have for people is to take water shoes to put on at the waterfall. The rocks that you have to walk on to climb into the waterfall aren't super comfortable with bare feet.

Wonderful overview of the island

Rob_S, Sep 2026
A very well paced tour giving a good overall feel for the island. Andrew, our guide, was informative, helpful and attentive throughout the day and assisted in taking some wonderful photos. Perfect times stop at coffee plantation for coffee and a snack to kick start the morning. Waimea Valley for a picturesque swim with waterfall as a backdrop was very memorable. Food truck stop food was excellent. Overall a great trip and highly recommended

This was an amazing tour. Andrew our guide was awesome and very knowledgeable about the island. Took us to all the hot spots and great food trucks.

Great tour!

Steven_C, Jul 2026
The tour definitely makes for a very long day but was worth it! We were able to see the entire island and go to places we wouldn't have otherwise found or knew about on our own. Emily was a great tour guide and was able to share a lot of her local knowledge, which helped us learn a lot. Would definitely recommend again.

Emily was a phenomenal guide! She shared her knowledge of the island and she taught us some island history, overall the tour was a calm and comfortable experience (Emily also takes amazing photos!) The views are absolutely breathtaking. From the beaches, mountains, the stunning hike up the waterfall, to the incredible lookout points of the ocean, and it was perfect to end the day with delicious malassada’s from Leonards. Would definitely book the tour again!

Mac!

Vish_N, Jun 2026
This tour was well worth it! Mac, our tour guide was out of this world friendly, and accommodating to everyone! He knew all the best spots and pointed additional things out along the way. Very knowledgeable about the island and the right places and times to visit any questions we had! This had everything, foods, sights, and the Mac was engaging and we definitely not bored at all!

Viator dropped the ball and refused to refund or give any reasonable response to their mistake

Justine_G, Apr 2026
I cannot speak on this experience but am speaking about how Viator handled this booking . I clicked on book now pay later option when checking out Oahu tours months ago. This particular tour looked good . I never received any confirmation on my app, email or bank account that this plan went through . My plans were still up in air so figured it was fine if I didn’t book any tours yet. My travel plans changed and I knew I no longer needed this tour . Again checked email and app with no confirmation that I was confirmed. 24 hours from the tour start time I received a text stating that tour was tomorrow. I called immediately and spoke with customer service explaining that I did not know I was registered as it was never confirmed. I asked them to please cancel and refund me. They stated they could not . Several back and forth emails later they wouldn’t offer me any credit for a future booking either. They never cancelled with local company either so they were waiting for me to show up on tour. Very disappointed in this. I have used this company in past for bookings all over the world but will no longer be using this service.
