Best island tour ever! - The first day sunrise tour was amazing! We started off extremely early in the morning, just to get everything in by the afternoon! This is one of the best tours I have ever gone on for two reasons. One it was Hawaii and two Andrew was extremely knowledgeable about Hawaii and about nice a guy you ever wanna meet. That one question ever went unanswered, he really knew his subject matter and you could tell he really enjoyed it and was proud to talk about it.
The tour was a long day, but well worth everything the time and the money, I would recommend it for individuals and families alike.
Great, first day excursion. This tour is gonna be hard to beat.

More than a tour — a beat, a lens, and a local’s heart - Andrew was hands-down the best guide I’ve had on any GetYourGuide tour — and I’ve done a lot of them. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and it shows in how thoughtfully he connects you to the island. Every stop felt intentional, not just scenic. I left wishing I’d booked more of his tours. If you want a local experience that actually feels personal, go with him.

So much more than just a tour! - The whole day with Andrew as our guide was spectacular from start to finish. This tour was incredible value for money and the perfect way to see a huge amount of the island in a small group. We really appreciated the photo tips too and now have so many incredible memories to treasure. Maholo!

Exceptional tour - Andrew Berkowitz was the best tour guide ever. He was friendly, a great guide and full of information. Our small group tour felt like family. He took us everywhere and I feel like I had a good taste of the island. I would highly recommend as it exceeded my expectations.

A Must-do on O‘ahu - Kurt was a very cool and fun guide. He gave us lots of helpful tips on how to take better pictures. We saw both well-known sights and some hidden gems around the island and had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island for the first time.
