BEST TOUR! Thanks Kurt - you're considering booking this tour, do it! It was hands down one of the highlights of my trip and the best tour I could have asked for. The tour lasts about 10 hours, but the day flies by because there's so much to see and experience. We traveled all around the island, stopping at incredible viewpoints, scenic locations, and places that I probably never would have found on my own. It was the perfect way to experience the island in a single day without feeling rushed. Our guide, Kurt, truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we started, he kept the atmosphere fun, energetic, and welcoming. He was incredibly accommodating to everyone in the group and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. What impressed me most was his knowledge—not only about the island's history and culture, but also about local businesses and hidden gems. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and takes pride in sharing the island with visitors. He also took fantastic photos for us, which was a huge bonus and gave us memories we'll always have. One thing I really appreciated was the small group size. There were only six people on my tour, which made the experience feel much more personal. Everyone had the opportunity to ask questions, get to know one another, and enjoy each stop without feeling crowded. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxed, and positive from beginning to end. I would especially recommend this tour for couples, solo travelers, and families with older children or young adults. Whether it's your first visit or you're returning to the island, this tour offers an amazing overview while also introducing you to places and stories you might otherwise miss. Overall, I can't recommend this tour enough. It was worth every penny, and I'd give it a 10/10. You'll see the beauty of the entire island, learn about its history and culture, support a veteran-owned local business, and create unforgettable memories along the way. I would happily book this tour again.

Great Tour - From the picking up to the end, the experience was great. Andrew was our tour guide and he was magnificent. He is informative about the island, food spots, and taking great photos. I have learned a lot about photography/how to take great photo with IPhone and Android. I am so happy I booked this tour and Andrew was our tour guide. I am leaving Hawaii with great photos and I am happy I didn’t have to pay a fortune for the photographer or location. Don’t hesitate in booking, you will not regret it.

Unprofessional tour organization - do not book - I was told to originally meet the tour person at 4:45 @ the confirmed location. I waited 20 minutes and no one showed. I texted the tour person through the app (which I was advised to do by that person), with no response. After waiting 20 min, I went back to my condo, called Viator and asked for a refund. It turns out Viator was not notified of the change in time. As I was on the phone with Viator, I received a text from the tour person that he/she was there to pick me up. I stated I was not interested in spending 10 hours on a tour when treated that way amd will request a refund. The tour person texted "my boss will not like that" and would refuse a refund. Viator said they would do a preliminary investigation and let me know the outcome. I received an email today stating that Viator received a response that the company would not give me a refund since I wasn't there when the tour bus waa there and knew I needed to call them with any questions. This was all new to me!! I called Viator back and they are escalating the complaint. Although I don't expect a positive outcome, since they seem to favor their clients. The audacity of Oahu Photography tours is unbelievable. I hope you all reconsider booking with them. Their attitude and unprofessionalism is unbelievable. In my opinion, they just want your money.
