5.00John is a font of knowledge, intimately aware of how Hawaii came to be and exists, and has an intricate knowledge of plant life. He is courteous, respectful, attentive, well organized and agile always seeking a pleasant outcome for his clients. That he is also an accomplished photographer with professional equipment was a blessing which helped secure great memories from a most memorable day with John humbly showing off Oahu.
Pleasant way to spend a warm day

5.00Our family of three enjoyed a leisurely, pleasant 6-hour tour of East Oahu plus the Byodo In Temple. Driver and tour guide John was very friendly, offered a lot of historical information, and pointed out interesting botany along the way. The minivan was comfortable and impeccably clean. Very familiar with traffic patterns so we did not hit any congestion on the road.
Best tour!!!

5.00We were able to customize our tour to fit our needs/wants. John was an incredible guide with knowledge about Hawaiian culture and history as well as the local wildlife. He took us around the island in comfort, and we got to explore all there is to offer on Oahu. John was incredible interacting with my son as well.
