Absolutely Welcoming & Accommodating to the North Shore/Locale - Mahalo, is an understatement when Seamus and Sandy accommodate you around the North Shore, and locales in Oahu. Seamus’ approach and knowledge of the area, locals, and agenda is all about your journey and having a wonderful time. He remembers everything to make your trip enjoyable and memorable. What a wonderful way to see the north shore of the island. Seamus and his sidekick Sandy were very knowledgeable and catered the day to what my husband and I wanted to do. Lunch at the food truck was great. The hike to the water fall was filled with information about native and nonnative species of plants and animals. The waterfall was so beautiful and the water was refreshing after hike to get there. At the beach we were able to see sea turtles which was amazing and so fun. Seamus made stops along the way when we requested. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a lowkey but fun day. We would definitely reach back out when we come back to the island.

Perfect mix of “tour guide” and privacy to explore! - This tour was one of our favorite tours ever! It was private; with a plan, but plenty of flexibility built in. Seamus is very knowledgeable; friendly and a good driver. Good mix of “leading” and then privacy to enjoy and explore. Especially good at the Waimea Falls and botanical tour! Enjoyed every minute with Seamus - I will request him (and Sandy🐾) and his company next time for sure.

Fantastic - Absolutely loved the tour. It was perfect starting at 9 AM. It did not have an early wake up which made it perfect for a vacation schedule. The guide was the absolute best and gave us a lot of insight into the Hawaiian culture. He was very knowledgeable about flowers and plants and Hawaiian history. The tour is geared to your personal preferences and moves at your pace. The stop at the shrimp trucks was very enjoyable. This was my first experience with the shrimp truck and I definitely would go back. Sheamus made the tour very interesting. I would definitely book another with him. We have been coming to Honolulu for several years and I feel like I learned so much just from this one day tour. We saw turtles, a beautiful waterfall and botanical gardens. Sheamus Made it a wonderful day.

Amazing Private Tour! - We had a fabulous day with Seamus and Sandy Girl. Seamus was highly organised, informative and very accommodating - happy to tailor make the tour to suit our interests. We got to see everywhere on our list and more! The whole day we avoided the crowds - stopping at local spots and enjoying the views. Seamus knew just where to go and when to get there! So many highlights on the day, including a fabulous shrimp food van for lunch. Thanks so much Seamus and Sandy!

Great experience - Great experience. The tour guide, although not a native, but has been here for quite some time was very knowledgeable about the island and the customs. He provided quite a bit of information. We were also fortunate that since we were the only group booked for that time, he was very kind and tailored the itinerary and experience to our specific requests with an extra stop along the way.
