Itinerary
Wake up with locally grown coffee and the smell of the roasting beans.
Cruise through the charming surf town of Haleiwa, known for its colorful storefronts, laid-back vibe, and ties to Oahu’s North Shore surf culture. We’ll point out local favorites, historic buildings, and spots worth coming back to after the tour.
Capture breathtaking images of the fauna of this valley. We will take our time walking out, allowing you to enjoy this beautiful area. Timed just right, we will be the first people at the waterfall.
We take you up to these falls before anyone else arrives. Be the first to capture this popular waterfall and then jump in to feel its refreshing waters.
Driving along the famous North Shore, look for surfers and the bigs waves as we pass by Banzai Pipeline and Sunset Beach.
Stop at the famous Kahuku food trucks, where you’ll have time to grab a bite from local favorites like garlic shrimp, poke bowls, or fresh fruit smoothies — a must-try North Shore experience.
Enjoy a scenic drive down Oahu’s stunning Windward Coast, with breathtaking views of turquoise waters, lush mountains, and dramatic cliffs. We'll pass by iconic spots like Chinaman’s Hat, Kualoa Ranch, and the Koʻolau mountain range — perfect for photos and soaking in the beauty of the island.
The iconic Chinamans Hat with views of the Jurrasic park mountains
Enjoy a relaxing stop at a local macadamia nut farm, where you can sample Hawaiian coffee and fresh mac nuts beneath a canopy of towering monkey pod trees.
A fantastic view of the entire view of windward side of Oahu.
The most beautiful location to see the mountains meat the ocean. The color here will blow you away.
This famous lookout will be one of the highlights. You can see whales in the winter and the powerful spouting of the Halona Blow Hole
We will end the day off with a delicious treat. We will give you a Malasada from the famous Leonards.
Drive through the upscale neighborhood of Kahala, known for its luxury homes, swaying palm-lined streets, and beachfront estates — a glimpse into one of Oahu’s most exclusive residential areas.
Drop-off: Time to say aloha for now. After a full day of exploring the island’s highlights, we’ll get you back just in time to kick back with a well-earned happy hour drink and reflect on your adventure.

Great tour around Oahu. The food trucks in Hale’iwa town were a great choice for lunch! Our guide/driver Chris was the BEST!
Chris Boily was an excellent tour guide. Most of all, he's a real "people person" and made it a fun experience. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of our itinerary and quick to answer questions. There was a good variety of locations and experiences that made the whole day most enjoyable.
So much to see! Every stop was great! Highly recommend this tour! Chris was great and very informative.. A few places I wouldn’t mind going back to check out while still vacationing. 👌
Chris was a great tour guide and did a good job keeping us on schedule.
Honestly one of the best day tours I’ve been on, got to see so many beautiful sights, try lots of good food, I couldn’t recommend more! Our tour guide Chris was fantastic, really knowledgeable, friendly and fun!
Chris was our tour guide and he was great. Mentioned all the great spots. 10/10 recommend!
Chris was absolutely phenomenal! He made everything so fun and informative. The day went very smoothly and exciting!
Awesome tour guide super nice, learned a lot about the Island
I did the circle island tour with the Waimea waterfall with guide Chris (aka Gladiator!). After a quick breakfast/coffee stop, the tour starts of with the highlight of the day at the Waimea waterfall and gardens. Chris suggested that we head straight to the falls if we wanted to swim and that was really great advice. We were the first people at the swimming area and were able to enjoy it all to ourselves for a while. Even with 1.5 hours, this was the one stop I would have liked just a little more time at to explore more of the gardens. I guess I could have skipped swimming, but I really wanted to do that too. The rest of the stops throughout the day were a good balance of photo stops and local food/craft locations, although we did end up skipping a lookout near the end due to a rain storm moving through. Chris did a great job balancing between Hawaiian facts and humor and downtime. Overall, this is a great one day overview of Oahu that I would definitely consider taking again in the future.
Kurt made the entire experience highly enjoyable. No one mentioned that a comedian would be part of the package, yet he kept us laughing throughout the trip. He guided us to remarkable spots, engaged everyone personally, and made sure we all had fun. He offered free photography lessons and helped capture excellent personal pictures. He was also well informed about the culture and history of Oahu and its people. Overall, it was a great experience. He celebrated us as honeymooners and brought us the most delicious donuts. He helped create a wonderful memory.
The tour with Mila, our guide, was incredibly fascinating. Her stories during the drive were very interesting. Mila's commitment went far beyond just doing her job. It was clear that she was professionally prepared, yet the atmosphere remained very casual and comfortable for everyone.
Amazing day with Mila! 🌺 Not only did she show us all the beautiful places included in the tour, but she also shared fascinating insights into Hawaiian history and answered all of our questions. The atmosphere was wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. As an added bonus, Mila took amazing photos of us throughout the day, which made the trip even more special and allowed us to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures ourselves. I highly recommend a tour with Mila. It was an unforgettable day! ❤️🌴☀️📸
Mila was great as a guide and driver. She told us so much about Hawaii and the island of Oahu. She was fun, easy going and gave us the best experience.
Great tour, exactly as advertised! Everything was well organized, on time, and went smoothly. Chris was an excellent guide, and the whole experience was absolutely worth the money. Great value for the price. Highly recommended!
Very good experience with tour in general
Chris was entertaining and knowledgeable (so knowledgeable he called exactly when the rain was going to hit). Made funny jokes through the tour and told us interesting facts.
Chris made the experience great! A full day that went by fast with fun stops.
Great conversation and we saw a bit of everything ! Chris was so fun
This is a very fun and informative tour. We hit multiple sites off the beaten path as we looped around Oahu with many great photo opportunities. Our guide, Kurt, taught me many short cuts and tips for improving my photos on my iPhone. This alone made the tour worth it. Kurt was prompt and professional in running the program and pointing out and describing all the sites we passed or visited.
Enthousiastic guide Emily, she was so nice and we were extra lucky since Mila went with us as well. Super positive energy, beautiful environment, really nice way to view the island. Emily is very knowlegable and makes a lot of photo's.
Amazing experience. Relaxing and informative. Appreciated the smaller group size. Mac was funny and attentive. 10/10 recommend.
Had a fantastic time with Andre and Mila. They were both great to speak with and learn from, very down to earth and knowledgeable about Oahu. Every spot was worth the visit and had a suitable amount of time spent dedicated to each. The highlights were swimming in Waimea Falls (which was magical going early enough in the morning to beat the crowds), the food trucks and the Windward Coast; not to mention the masalada enjoyed at the end (Li Hing flavour is one of the best doughnuts I've ever had). Worth every cent for seeing the island with attentive guides, in a small group in a comfortable van. Mahalo to you both for a great day; and screaming into the wind!
Tour was more than Awesome! Chris, our driver and tour guide was Incredible. He went out of his way to assure our entire group (6 adults and 2 boys) were informed at every turn. Chris even adjusted his itinerary to assure we had good weather (Stayed ahead of the clouds) at a couple of key lookouts and still got us to all stops in a timely manner and gave us ample time at every stop. His suggestions at the food stops were spot on. He was more than happy to take multiple photos of my wife and I and the others when they asked, and his photos were excellent. We were extremely happy with the itinerary as we were able to see the most beautiful areas of Oahu we would have never seen, away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu with the best guide on the Island. If you book this adventure be sure to request Chris. Worth every penny we spent!
Chris knows the island and how the weather can affect one side of the island vs the other side of the island. His knowledge to adjust the itinerary accordingly to the weather ensured we had a wonderful time!
A great tour of the island. Comfortable van with some great stops and views. Mac was a fun tour guide and answered all our questions. He also took and shared some great pictures for the group.
Mac was amazing! We had an amazing group
We had the best day! We saw how beautiful Oahu is, heard fantastic tidbits and history, and rode around in the comfort of a Mercedes. Our guide, Emily, was hilarious and taught us how to make the most of our photos. The food was fantastic too. All around, a top notch day!
Fabulous trip. Emily made it a fun day with plenty of information.
Emily was a Fantastic tour guide, the best I’ve had in a long time. She is knowledgeable, attentive to her guests, and very friendly and professional. She kept our attention during the tour with great historical information and anecdotal insight.
Emily was great. The day was a beautiful experience of beaches, mountains and waterfalls. You see the whole island which was great.
This was a great tour and the memories will last forever. We got picked up on time by a very pleasant young man. Right from the beginning he made me feel like he was delighted to be our tour guide. He introduced himself as Mac and had all of us laughing within the first 5 minutes. It’s was none stop action after that. I had the best time at the Waterfalls but I enjoyed the whole tour. I will be recommending this tour to my family and friends. Of course I know if they get Mac as their tour guide they will also have a great time. Mahalo Cynthia McGhee
It was the absolute best. Chris is amazing and made our tour totally enjoyable. Not only was he the perfect person to be a tour guide, Chris was an excellent driver and very courteous to other drivers. At each stop we were given an adequate amount of time and absolutely appreciated going to the waterfall early before the crowds. Also liked that it was small group. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see beautiful Oahu and hopefully Chris will be your guide. You won’t be disappointed!!!
The Oahu Day Tour to the Waterfall, Food Trucks, and Look out points was amazing!!! Our tour guide Chris very knowledgeable, friendly, and kept the whole bus laughing all day. The waterfall and view spots were absolutely beautiful. It definitely worth the price. I would 100% recommend this tour with Oahu Photography Tours, and I can’t wait to book with them again. Mahalo 🌺
Chis was an Amazing tour guide Best day of our whole vacation hands down. Highly recommended
chris was fantastic! very funny & knowledgeable. food trucks were 11/10!!!
Great tour and Malcolm the tour guide did an amazing job the whole time! Definitely would recommend the tour and Malcolm as a guide to anyone traveling to Hawaii.
Andrew our guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable of all the island with lots of interesting information. It was a fantastic day. Walking in the rainforest he had lots of info about the plants, animals and birds. Take swim shoes if your going for a swim in the waterfall pool. Andrew took an interest in everyone and was a kind and interesting guy. Top marks
At first I was apprehensive about a ten hour tour but this experience was awesome from beginning to end. Andrew and Mila were so accommodating and great guides. I love that the tour operates differently from most other island circle tours which really makes it stand out. I highly recommend this tour.
A wonderful one-day trip to discover O’hau! Our fantastic guide Chris made the tour even more enjoyable! I highly recommend it to anyone who, like us, didn’t have much time to see the island!
Chris was awesome! This tour is worth the day. You get to swim at a waterfall, and see most of Oahu. There are plenty of stops, and a lot of great views. The best part of this tour was the awesome tour guide, Chris. It’s like having a friend from the islands showing you all the best spots. If you want to see what Oahu has to offer, this is a great choice.
Andrew was an excellent tour guide, we had an amazing day! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting O’ahu!
My tour guide Andrew was excellent! His energy, and knowledge of the scenic locations was outstanding. He was friendly and helpful with our photo opportunities. Kept the whole group engaged and ready for the next stop! I saw as much of Oahu as one could in our day a huge Mahalo to y’all keep up the great job 🤠🤙🏻 Billy
The tour was brilliant, had a really a good time, got to see some amazing views of the island and had some amazing experiences on the island. Our tour guide Andrew was fantastic made the whole experience even better, would highly recommend.
WHAT A DAY!!! Andrew was the best tour guide ever! He was accommodating, welcoming and full of so much knowledge. The day tour in itself is jam packed with so many great stops around Oahu. We loved the fact that we were at Waimea falls earlier on in the day, we pretty much had the waterfall all to ourself 😍 I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. Andrew, you really are a credit to Oahu Photo Tours. We wish you all the best. Thanks for the most unforgettable day☺️
Tour was as advertised and more! Kurt was a great guide and so welcoming! The ride to all the sites was comfortable and Kurt was super attentive and knowledgeable of the island and its history. The highlights of the trip were definitely the waterfall and visiting the nut farm! Kurt captured amazing memories I will cherish forever! Book it!
This was an amazing tour and our guide and new friend Kurt was a blast! Papa Merc took good care of us all day. The stops were authentic and we appreciated all the photos throughout the day. Great way to see Oahu!
We had a great day with Kurt. He took us to the best places to fully see Oahu. The waterfalls were beautiful and the look outs were spectacular. The best part was the 100+ photos he shared at the end of our day together. Definitely suggest this full day experience!!
We had such a fantastic tour with Chris and Mila. They were such a happy duo and made the tour so interactive I would recommend both Chris and Mila to our family and friends
What a great way to experience So many of the most beautiful spots on Oahu with such an incredible guide! Emily was wonderful - very knowledgeable, energetic and just a pleasure to spend the day with! She truly made this the best experience of our trip to Oahu!
