What a great day with Andrew as our guide. We spent the whole day with him and he kept us entertained and informed. His knowledge and history of the island was easy to retain because of his passion to leave his guest with a great experience. If you’re able to book any tour with him I highly recommend you do.
Discover Oʻahu like never before on this immersive full-day circle island adventure, designed for travelers who want more than just a drive-by tour. What sets us apart? We combine stunning photo opportunities with authentic local experiences — all in a relaxed, small-group setting. Start your day with locally grown coffee at a Hawaiian farm, then take a refreshing swim at Waimea Valley’s waterfall, surrounded by tropical gardens. Capture iconic surf breaks on the North Shore before savoring lunch at the famous Kahuku food trucks. We’ll explore cultural gems like Byodo-In Temple and scenic marvels including Chinaman’s Hat, the Pali Lookout, Makapuʻu cliffs, and the Halona Blowhole. End the day on a sweet note with fresh malasadas from a local favorite. From waterfalls to coastlines, temples to food trucks — this is the ultimate way to experience the real Oʻahu.

Kirk is amazing! We had him as a tour guide and I’ve never been happier on a tour like this! Thank you so much Oahu photo tours! ❤️

We had an amazing day touring Oahu with Andrew. He brought us to such a variety of places. The Botanical Gardens were so beautiful with such a variety of vegetation and swimming by the waterfall was an experience I’ll never forget! The views of the many beaches and the view from Pali Road were so gorgeous. The photography hints were also much appreciated. Andrew was such a wonderful guide. He shared so much information with us. I highly recommend this tour!

This was a great tour made all the better by Andrew, our tour guide. Everything was well managed, but relaxed, with plenty of time to see the sights. Andrew was very friendly and knowledgeable and wonderful at taking pictures of us and for us, which he later shared. He also gave great tips on how to use our phones to take more interesting pictures, and places to go and things to do. I highly recommend this tour to see the sights and try the food in Oahu. I hope you’re lucky enough to get Andrew as your guide!

Our guide Andrew was both funny and very knowledgeable. I don’t believe there was anything he was not able to answer. He entertained us throughout the tour with local lore and history, but also answered any non trip related questions anyone had. He was patient with us and made sure we all had a great time. If I could, I would give home 10 stars or more. I highly, highly recommend taking one if his tours. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this tour.
