BEST TOUR IN HAWAII REVIEWS
“We had Mac as our tour guide. Honestly he was so much fun and the best host ever!!! He made sure we were all happy the entire day. He was so informative about all the locations we visited down to the mountains, plants, and history. Kept us engaged and laughing the entire day too! He loves what he does and it shows! He took the most amazing pictures and shared them with us all before we were dropped off at the end of the day. The entire day was perfect and we owe it all to Mac! If you want an absolutely perfect and amazing day, book this tour! The highlight of our day was swimming in the waterfall! What an amazing treat! This was by far our most favorite excursion we did on our vacation. With memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Mac! You totally ROCK!

Had an amazing experience from purchasing the tickets, timely pickup, friendly staff to photo tour guides. Our photo guides Mack and Kurt were professional and extremely knowledgeable about photography. They explained some of the photo scenes and the best ways to capture them using an iPhone or DSLR. They gave us tips and tricks on how to use our devices at an optimal level to capture amazing photos. Hands down the best tour! Highly recommended and will be returning for other tours as well.

At the beginning of the tour in the wee hours of the morning we were met by our tour guide Mac, who was full of energy and personality. He made us feel welcomed and comfortable and excited for the day ahead. Mac was very personable, relatable, and knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to be a party of a very small group so that made it feel even more special and exclusive. We were able to take our time at each stop which was nice. Mac took pictures of us and the beautiful scenery throughout the day and sent all pictures to us at the end of the tour, which was a nice keepsake to have to remember such a great tour! I’d definitely recommend this tour/company if you’re looking to check out the mountains, oceans, and local spots while having a fun and enjoyable time. Highly recommend Mac as a tour guide because he helped make the tour fun and interesting and had us laughing the whole time. Book now!

Doing the sunrise photography tour in O'ahu was such an amazing experience! Sure, I had to wake up at 4 a.m., but it was totally worth it. Our guide (Malcolm) was super friendly and had a great sense of humor, so he made the early start a lot more fun. He took us to some incredible spots and knew exactly where to set up to get the best shots. In the end, it was a morning full of laughs, great advice, and tons of photos that are definitely going on my socials. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone!

Today was my second excursion with OPT in two years, and it was fantastic! Our guide, Andrew, was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the island. He gave us a number of cool photo tips and took us to spots that most tourists don't know about. Between the various shorelines, the flora, and the wildlife, we came away with some amazing pics. Andrew also stopped at great local places for us to eat at throughout the day. As you can see, I gave OPT 5 stars for this tour, "Complete Island Adventure with Sunrise," but if I could have, I'd have given them 10. Thanks again Oahu Photography Tours and Andrew for an absolutely stellar experience

Andrew was an awesome guide!! He was super welcoming and knowledgeable, he had so many great points during the drive to keep us engaged. I don’t think any of the people in our group were proper photographers, but he had some great tips for leveling up our phone pics. Every stop was more and more beautiful, and you have to take a dip in the waterfall if you get the chance!! You have to wear a lifevest to go in, and I’d recommend wearing sandals since it’s a little rocky (teva’s were perfect). There are changing stalls right by the waterfall, so you can pack your suit and wear regular comfy clothes. The day is 10 hours, but it is filled with great stops/snacks/food/views, I highly recommend this tour to get a quick introduction to the island! (And Andrew, again, was 10/10!!)
