Great time

Reviewed by: Cody B, 2024/02/28

My wife and I had a great time with this tour and it was super convenient being picked up for this tour. I can't say enough good things about our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and seemed to have many local connections in the area. He knew alot about more than just the Hawaii 5-0 show but alot of history around the island as well. He bleeds the Aloha spirit and was one of the best tour guides we had during our stay. Meeting cousin flippa was great, he answered many questions about the show and was just a very down to earth guy. Getting to see the house and know the history along the way was great. If you haven't done this tour and are a fan of the show I recommend it.

Good tour to a view points of Hawai-5-O

Reviewed by: Karen, 2024/01/31

Our guide had a lot of interesting information about the film industry of Hawaii, not only about Hawai-5-O. We could go into Mc Garrets house and meet and talk to the character Flippa. The Lunch was only a sandwich and some chips and a soft drink. But it was good. We spent plenty of time in the garden of that house. The other places could not to be visited. We had only 2 more foto stops: one at Danu‘s thinking point and one at the headquarter. But it was ok for us.
If the price was it worth? Not sure, but we had a good time.

Entertaining, fun, and tons of island and show knowledge

Reviewed by: Amy , 2024/01/12

Our guide Sean really made the tour with his local knowledge and details. He has so much information and insights to share and was really the best tour guide out of all the tours I've ever done on the islands. We spent a lot of time at the McGarrett house, and also met Shawn, "Cousin Flippa" who was really kind and spent time with us answering questions. Everyone was hospitable and made the day fun. Even though the show was filmed on many parts of the island, and it'd take a full day to see more locations, this did hit the highlights like Danno's thinking spot, the highlight was McGarrett's house, and also 5-0 headquarters. It was fun to talk about the show with other fans!

A Fantastic Day

Reviewed by: Denise, 2023/01/16

Extremely interesting and comfortable, Lunch at McGarretts was fantastic! The cast member we met, Shawn Mokuahi Garnett, was very generous with his time and patience, posing for photos many times with group members and answering questions. The van picked us up on time right in front of our hotel, we saw and heard a lot of history not just from the show but from the area in general. Thank you to everyone for making our day so special.

Hawaii Five 0 Tour

Reviewed by: Joanne & Dan Downey, 2022/12/14

Astounding! My husband and I looked forward to this tour for three years. Covid decided to interrupt. It was well worth the wait and then some. Huge fans of the show. McGarret’s house was surreal. Actually being there blew us away.
More importantly, Sean (not Flippa) was sensational. Cannot say enough about him. Here goes: Professional, personable, polite, informative, thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient. Kind and went above and beyond. By far the best tour guide we’ve had on all our trips to Hawaii. Just pleasant to be around and always accommodating and ready to answer any questions we had whether it by about Five 0 or just Hawaii in general. Hawaii Five 0 fans shouldn’t miss this tour,
Only downfall was not meeting Flippa.

  • Our wonderful guide, Sean. Top notch!

  • In the legendary chairs. Thrilling!

  • Danno’s lookout.

Shaun our Tour Guide for The Hawaii 5 0 experience wad fantastic, pick up from our Waikiki Hotel was perfect and on time, the air conditioning vehicle was very clean and spacious. Straight away Shaun explained the day ahead and what to expect and this what was we were hoping for and more.
Within minutes we were at the first view point where Danno used to sit and contemplate live and Shaun wad mire than happy to take photos and to get the best shots. Driving around Shaun would also explain facts about Hawaii and not just 5 0 which was very interesting and helpful. Again the visit to the house was perfect and fantastic to be sat in the chairs having our photos taken just perfect. I would certainly recommend this tour outstandingly brilliant

This tour was incredible and truly a dream come true. Our tour guide Sean was a wealth of knowledge not only about the show but about the island in general. Having lunch at The Bayer Estate was so fun and we loved keeping Shawn that played Flippa on the show. Definitely will do it again if we ever make it back here.

Must do for Hawaii 5-0 fans

Reviewed by: Mary , 2022/05/13

Sean was a fantastic guide! He made us comfortable, confirming vaccination statuses. He provided a lot of information about 5-0 filming sites, production and trivia. He took photos of us at Danno's overlook and the "McGarrett" house. He went out of his way to get me a new sandwich after he learned my food allergy had not been communicated. Shawn Mokuahi Garnett (Flippa) was at the house to share some stories, an unexpected pleasure. The tour was well organized and took us through many places of interest in Honolulu and the Hawaii 5-0 fandom. Thank you, Sean for a great day.

We had a nice group.

Sean paid a lot of attention to safe Covid rules like a small group, vaccination record, face masks and temperature check. We really appreciated it.

The highlight was the McGarrett House with Shawn Garnett. Although he had not been fully recovered from a hospital stay he had spent time with us. Awesome guy <3

Best regards. See you next time.

Best Tour of Our Trip

Reviewed by: R Winkler, 2021/06/30

My kids and I watches Hawaii Five-0 (the new one) every Friday night for years. I remember watching the original with my parents Wyn I was a kid. The Hawaii Five-0 tour was absolutely amazing. Sean was the most awesome tour guide pointing out shoot locations and local areas on the way to and from the Beyer Estate. When we met up with Flippa at the Palace, that was the cherry on top. This tour is a must for any H5-0 fan - old or new. Hawaii is such an amazing place with its multiple micro climates and beauty - mountains and shoreline. Having someone who grew up here guide you through all of that was an amazing treat! I simply can’t say enough about this amazing tour and Sean’s commentary and guide skill set.

One of the best Day´s in my life

Reviewed by: Andy, 2020/04/06

We booked the tour in advance of our visit to Hawaii. We have been big fans of the series since the first season and were happy to be able to visit an original spot from the series. We were picked up by Sean at the hotel and during our trip we got a lot of information about the series and Hawaii. He has a very pleasant way of passing on his knowledge to his guests. At McGarrett's house Flippa did not receive us - it was a surprise for the rest of the group - because we were connected via social media and knew what was going on. It was a very nice lunch with Sean and Shawn. We visited the house inside and outside, talked to the owners Richard and Sooz, had fun with their dog Yogi and took numerous pictures.We sat in the chairs and looked at the sea - like Steve and Danny in the series. These are incredible feelings of happiness! This tour is unique. Who is a fan of the series and a guest on Oahu should not miss this excursion. Mahalo nui loa Sean & Shawn !!! we will never forget this awesome Day !!!

Thanks to Sean with his abundant knowledge for taking us around the locations used on Hawaii Five-0!

Under exceptional circumstances - rain, the beginnings of Covid-19 concerns here in Honolulu, and challenging clients - Sean imparted not just the information about Hawaii Five-0 production but also other information about O’ahu that has proved invaluable during our trip.

Thanks also to ‘Flipper’ for his insights and his time!

Truly an awesome experience

Reviewed by: shu, 2020/03/18

What is usually a tour for a group of more than five people turned out to be almost like a private tour for us as we were only three that day. Sean shared a lot of information about my favorite tv show, the cast, the location. We were blown away by everything we saw. It was like walking into a dream. The lovely house, the amazing beachfront and of course, the iconic chairs. Even my husband, who has not watched an episode before our tour has become an instant fan and started watching Hawaii Five-0 with me from season 1 when we got back home, making it my third time to watch season 1. :) It still feels like watching each episode for the first time. Lunch was great, too and we loved the passion fruit-orange-guava (POG) drink.

We also had a nice conversation with the house owners, Richard and Suzz. We had a fun time talking about who Steve is going to marry. It’s Catherine, hands down. We had fun taking pictures with Yogi, too.

Sean really made this day special for us. He shared with us a lot of information about Hawaii from a local’s perspective. He also told us about Hawaii’s history and culture and some of the famous people who are from Hawaii. Sean drove us through Kewalo Basin Harbor and Ala Moana beach park. We stopped.by at the Hawaii Five-0 headquarters, which in real life, is the Hawaii State Supreme Court.

Big thanks to Sean for recommending Wini’s Jewelry where we bought gorgeous Hawaii Five-0 merch. We wish that this show could go on for a couple more seasons.

He showed us the offices for both series as well as where they lived on the series. As he try to take us by the studio it was blocked off because of the recent tragic deaths of one of Honolulu’s officers Processions was about to begin. He pointed out where the tragedy had occurred.

We went to the Overlook where Danny goes during the show often then off to McGarret’s House for lunch.

Lunch was very good and he pointed out several things that have been shot there from the show.
