Traveler Reviews

What an amazing experience. My wife and I both felt that the tour was the highlight of our trip to Oahu. We were wore out with Honolulu...but John revived us with many majestic sites. The tour was custom - John offered flexibility to spend time as we chose. His knowledge was extensive - we learned so much about Hawaiian culture. The photos that John created were magical. This is a "must do" tour!

We had a great time with John taking us to some exclusive places that only Hawaii locals would know about. He made us feel comfortable about the positions he wanted us to take photos in these locations with great views. All of the photos came out great and would HIGHLY...HIGHLY recommend him to do a private tour as well as photos at the same time. The best of both worlds wrapped into one. Again, thanks for the memories for me and my wife's 20th Anniversary photos.

The beautiful places I was able to see and photograph. John was an excellent tour guide. He talked of history and gave tips of restaurants just wonderful experience.

An excellent experience. John was excellent and so knowledgeable and informative. I got the most gorgeous pictures and had an excellent time. I have taken tours all over Europe and this one was a five star adventure.

What a treat! It was like traveling with a personal photographer and tour guide. John is professional photographer and very knowledgeable about beautiful spots in South Oahu. We had to cut off tour because we had to check out so really missed opportunity to see more. Price is reasonable too. He sent us our photos and came out great.
