A Day to Remember with Captain Vince With 1 Epic Tours
Christina D,May 4, 2026

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!
Scenic tour with picturesque views with an amazing captain!

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!

Experience the nature of Hawaii

4.00Considered 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.
Capt. Vinces Island Tour
russellgander,Mar 9, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00This 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.
