Traveler Reviews

We had an awesome experience with John! He is a wonderful guide and photographer. The sunset photo tour was the highlight of our trip!

John was really amazing - very knowledgeable, charismatic and accomodating. He shared a lot of beautiful stories about hawaii’s history and its people. We will sure book another tour with him in our next trip to hawaii. Mahalo nui loa John, our ohana.

I’ve been to Hawaii many many times and this was by far one of the best trips ever because of this tour!!! John was able to show us all the amazing spots and took the most beautiful iPhone and professional photos. It felt like a whole different experience, like nothing I have ever experienced before(: John makes you feel extremely comfortable and knows just about everything there is to know about Hawaii. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely made us feel like Ohana!!! WOULD 1000000% RECOMMEND!! Do not hesitate to book this tour. Well worth the money. Thank you so much John!!

If you want to do something special with your family, friends or significant other while in Honolulu you should take this tour. Not only is the tour customizable but they do everything possible to make sure that your every expectation is met. You will get amazing photos at places you would likely never see if you did the commercial tours. Add that to your own personal photographer and the experience is incredible. Datesnap helped me to not only propose to my fiancée and find the perfect spot but also gave us both an amazing photo journey of our engagement day that we will never forget. Thank you Datesnap!!!!!!

Get away from Waikiki and experience the natural beauty of this amazing island. We experienced many stunning places during our journey that we would otherwise have not seen. John's knowledge of the island together with his photography of us was the icing on the cake. Thank you John for a most enjoyable and memorable day.
