Tour guide extraordinaire Jeffrey

Maria_R, Feb 2024

We enjoyed everything from the moment Jeffrey greeted us to dropping us off 6 hours later. He was engaging; fun; and very accommodating. He had a mastery of all the places of interest not only on the North Shore but of the island. Thank you Jeffrey for a memorable day!!

Driver took us where we asked.

Marian_B, Jan 2024

Our Guide was amenable. Safe driver. Although he said he was born and raised on the island, he had little knowledge of the culture or history. Yet He jabbered on. He took us where we asked, to the North Shore. And a surf shop. And a Target store. He Found us a good lunch spot. We were looking for an enriching experience; instead we got a talkative driver.

Wonderful day on the North Shore! Yay Jeffrey!

Jack_t, Jan 2024

Jeffrey is a fabulous guide! He was super friendly and accommodating, found out what we were looking for and provided it all!!! Big Waves, turtles and beautiful beaches. I tried to upload pictures, but could not, so I replied to the message on my phone and sent pictures, hope you got them, A Day to remember! Jacks wish in his 80th birthday was to hang on a beach and see the Big Surf! Mission accomplished

A great taste of the north shore

Rebecca_W, Jan 2024

We are so pleased we booked this tour. We had Jeffery who was down to earth from the moment he picked us from our hotel. Nice and spacious car for the four of us we could tailor the morning to what we wanted to see. Only one of us had seen the north shore before so this was a great guided tour out there without the hassle of driving. Thanks so much for an amazing morning.

Memorable & fun!

Jessica_H, Nov 2023

We had a terrific time with Jeff on the private tour of the North Shore! The tour includes lots of stops and drive bys, and we learned a lot!

Hawaiian North Shore Tour

Stephen_L, Oct 2023

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Jeffrey! He was a delight from the moment we met him at 8 am in the morning. He was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to us! He went above and beyond to make our tour experience the best that it could be! He is an asset to your company and his supervisor Dan Scroggins should know he has a gem of an employee! Thank you Jeffrey!

An excellent experience

BRIAN_O, Aug 2023

Very enjoyable. We were able to tailor the tour to see the sights we wanted and our guide, Jeffrey, suggested some other locations. Jeffrey was extremely knowledgeable and personable and showed us the side of Oahu everyone should see

Stunning views

Michaela_D, Aug 2023

Seeing the natural beauty of all the different beaches , and a great outdoor lunch gem a shrimp truck , our guide Jeffrey was very knowledgeable and fun

Amazing trip to North Shore!

Jennifer_L, Aug 2023

We had an amazing day with our driver and tour guide Jeffrey! He was very knowledgeable about the island and took us to wonderful locations. The best part was it was a private tour and he took into account our interests. We saw breathtaking views, stunning beaches, sea turtles, and some more much more! You won’t be disappointed with this tour!

Like getting a tour from family

Maria_M, Jul 2023

Even prior to our tour, communication with them was wonderful. Daniel answered all my questions and was very helpful. Our tour guide, Jeffrey,was a wealth-full of knowledge. The tour was definitely catered to us. He asked what we wanted to see/experience and HE MADE IT HAPPEN! It was like being shown around by a family that you are visiting. I could go on, but I you just need to experience it to know what I’m talking about. I would definitely yptake a tour from them again!

Fabulous custom tour with a great guide

Elizabeth_S, Jun 2023

Wonderful experience. It is so nice to be able to focus on exactly what you are interested in. Our guide Jeffrey was so accommodating, engaging and knowledgeable. Funny too. He reached out before the tour to see what we especially wanted to see and tailored a great day for us. He even found a local carving artist for us because we really wanted an authentic Koa wood carving. Would do this again in a minute.

The best experience

Lidia_M, Jun 2023

Awesome private tour, Jeffrey our guide did an excellent job taking us to see beautiful places like the Manoa Falls, the Dole Plantation, he made us feel special, he’s a very nice person.

Amazing day on the North Shore

Tiffany_R, May 2023

Jeffery was amazing! He picked us up right on time, was super energetic and friendly, answered all of our questions and personalized the tour based on things we wanted to see most. He was extremely nice and patient and let us spend a good amount of time at each stop. We really enjoyed him!

Awesome personalized experience!

Tony_D, Mar 2023

Jeffrey, our driver and guide, was fun and informative and tailor-made our tour for a wonderful day. We’ve been coming to O’ahu for years and loved being able to see and learn about a few surprisingly delightful new things (lava tube!). Highly recommend!

Jeffrey was fantastic. ...

Brenda_M, Feb 2023

Jeffrey was fantastic. The tour was all we wanted it to be even in the rain. Jeffrey met all our requests and then some.

Highly recommend

Felicia_R, Jan 2023

Jeffrey did a wonderful job selecting & describing the highlights. He even found a perfect local place for a vegetarian lunch

Above & beyond

MariaMilagros_F, Aug 2022

We had a great & memorable tour with our guide, Jeffrey. He went above & beyond. He was very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and kind. We truly enjoyed our hikes at Hanauma Bay and tunel lava cave. We saw a lot of different amazing sites. I just wish we had more time at North Shore but traffic can't be helped. I truly recommend this tour to anyone, especially those who are first time in Hawaii.

Worthwhile

Darren_S, Jun 2022

Great tour. Our guide Jeff was passionate and informative of his home. Recommend this tour for a close and different perspective of the North Shore. The tour is designed around your personal interests and is very flexible to change.

Worth the money and time!

Sam_P, Mar 2022

When we were picked up we were pleasantly surprised that my wife and I were the only two on a private tour in the van. Our tour guide Patrick was awesome to say the very least. He was very knowledgeable with the Island and the history and culture. He took us to places that were mostly visited by local residents and without his knowledge on where they were we would of missed out on some incredible beaches and scenery. In addition, Patrick was very patient and didn’t rush us at our stops. I do recommend that you are sure which tour you are taking since there is a northern and southern tour of the island. We were excited to see Diamond Head but were told that was the southern tour and we missed out on it. This may have been our error were we registered Burt did not verify.
