Priceless and memorable

5.00We highly recommend Captain Vince if you are looking for a tour of a lifetime! He is communicative, on schedule and informative. We came to Hawai’i not only for vacation but also to learn and connect with the culture and community. This tour was exactly that and more because of Captain Vince’s beautiful and fun spirit. My favorite place of this tour was the Waimea botanical Garden connecting to the land and the beauty of mother nature and the blessing she has to offer. In addition to eating delicious foods and treats. We had great conversation too! Instantly Captain Vince felt like family “Ohana” and after the tour he became Ohana. Thank you so much for the experience! We highly recommend taking this tour.
The Captain Leads the Way

5.00If you are looking for a full circle tour then look no further than Captain Vince. The Captain only does this tour with a small bus. And that is way better than a 52 seate. And to boot, there were only 4 of us (shout out to Steve & Marie), almost 121. All along the day, The Captain kept us entettained with information about the stop, island history & culture and himself. Even had a continuous "quiz" going 😆 to keep "the family" entertained betwren stops. Even at the "purchase" stops, The Captain knew the people and easrd us into the facilitues like friends. And the banter with his fellow tour competitors was great. Be willing yo get up early and let The Captain be ahead of the pack at the stops to minimise wait times. Totally fantastic day.
Captain Vince was great!...

5.00The tour was great! Very similar to the Grand Circle Island Tour with the addition of the Waimea Botanical Gardens and Pali Lookout. The thing that really added to things was the tour guide Captain Vince. He was upbeat, made sure to fill us in on local custom/language, and just made sure to make things fun. Driving around the island in a convertible was a blast!
A Day to Remember with Captain Vince With 1 Epic Tours

5.00My best friend and I spent the day touring with Captain Vince with 1 Epic Tour and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment he greeted us in the lobby, we knew we were in for something special. He was attentive, funny, knowledgeable, and made us feel like family the entire time. We loved how he included fun games that also taught us about Hawaiian culture—it made the day even more meaningful. I would book with him again in a heartbeat. If you’re visiting Oahu, don’t miss the chance to tour with Captain Vince!

5.00We 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!
