Thank You

Reviewer: Marilyn

(Ontario, Canada)

I just wanted to thank you, your staff, and express to you that I had such a wonderful and memorable experience on your Tour.  I must tell you that I was planing to go to the Galapagos Islands because I saw a photo of a woman sitting beside a Seal Lion on the beach.  I really wanted to experience this on my own but instead I went to Hawaii and had the experience there ... with the big green sea turtle. This is experience meant so much to me. If it wasn't for your Tour, I would not have experienced this. So thank you so very much for giving me the opportunity to have this treasure of an experience.  It is something I will always remember.

A Great Time!

Reviewer: Zackerinsmom 

(Clawson, MI, USA)

This was the first of many tours on our trip to Hawaii. My husband planned something for every day we were there. Nothing else compared to this for me. It was the only tour I wanted to go on. We got to travel all over the island and learn a lot about the island itself. The best meal I had on the entire trip was the one we had on the North Shore during this tour.

Our guide told us a lot about how the production of Lost is done. I was shocked by some of the set design secrets. But now, every time we watch, we can say, “we've been there” or “we know how they make it look like that.” Our guide was great! We even saw a few sea turtles while walking on the beach. Thanks a lot ... definitely worth the money and time.

A Great Day with New Friends!

Reviewer: jcstone 

(Philadelphia, PA, USA)

We had such an amazing time on this tour. We saw things we had no idea we were going to see! Our tour guide was so nice, and so knowledgeable. He makes you feel like you have been friends for years! The pace of the tour is great and lunch is even better. Go for the shrimp truck. It will not be disappointing! As big lost fans ... we instantly had a connection with everyone else on the tour, which made us all really comfortable with each other. This tour is perfect for the lost fan!

Lost Tour

Reviewer: Daniel & Melissa 

(United Kingdom)

After our stay in Hawaii for 2 weeks and all of the tours we did while visiting, this tour we did was by far the best and most memorable. Our guide was fantastic, he was enjoyable to be around and made you feel comfortable and he was very knowledgeable not just on Lost but a lot of other aspects whilst we were driving around Oahu. We would like to just say thank you for providing such a great tour and we would highly recommend this to anyone and especially Lost fans!

Snorkel Safari Phenomenal

Reviewer: Russboe 

(San Leandro, CA, USA)

That was one of the most exciting trips I have ever taken so much to see and do and we saw it all. Snorkeling was exciting and fun we saw things close up in the wild some people may never see. Our guide was the best he was knowledgeable and informative, I would recommend this trip to everyone I know that is going to Hawaii.

The trip to the waterfall was incredible to actually get to swim in underneath a natural waterfall and get your picture taken was really cool and all my friends really love those pictures. The trail to the waterfall was really very pretty and the guide actually knowing what we were looking at even better made the trip much more enjoyable. So I want to say thanks for a great trip and to our guide for a job very well done.

Dream Tour

Reviewer: Richard 

(Adelphi, MD, USA)

My family and I flew into Oahu from Maui just for the Lost tour. I cannot express in words my immense thanks and appreciation for such a fun-filled tour for so little money. The guide was very knowledgeable and made every effort for us to see as many sites as possible. We even lucked out having got to see filming of Lost in one site. We flew back to Maui that evening like having hit the jackpot.

Lost in Hawaii was Great!

Reviewer: Ron & Sharon 

(Plymouth, MI, USA)

The Lost tour was the highlight of our 2-week vacation in Hawaii. Our guide was most knowledgeable about Lost from it's beginnings, and took us to numerous locations where scenes were performed. At the end of the tour, our guide waited patiently while we viewed a ‘live’ scene for a future airing being set up and run. We saw Hurley and Sawyer live and in action! Wow! A tour can't get any better than that!

Amazing, Exciting, Breathtaking...

Reviewer:  

My wife and I had such an amazing time on the LOST tour. We did the exclusive couple tour, and our guide took us to the sights of where they film Lost, and beyond. We actually got to see Jack and Juliet film a scene. We were so surprised of all the sights. Our guide was so friendly and made us very welcome, we had snacks, drinks and the view from the Van was awesome. We had time to ask questions about the island and take in the sights. Thanx again for an amazing time!!!!!

Lost TV Tour!

Reviewer: Kim and Lisa 

(Wild West, USA)

The private tour is well worth the extra money. (The guide) fit the schedule to meet our needs which included dropping us off at the airport. Our tour guide is very personable and knowledgeable. Lost fans will love seeing the filming locations. It's a great way to see the island even if you are not a Lost fan! We would even take the tour again!

Thank You For a Great Tour!

Reviewer: Courtney 

(Raymore, MO, USA)

On Monday, March 3, 2008, my best friend and I took your exclusive private LOST Paradise Quest tour.  I just wanted to say thank you for a great and memorable day!  When you guys say you provide a dedicated tour guide and the highest level of personal attention, you are not exaggerating.  I really enjoyed myself, and can say without a doubt that it was one of the highlights of our vacation. Not only did I love visiting the locations used in filming LOST (which, by the way, makes watching the show all the more entertaining knowing I've actually stood in those many places), but I was also fascinated to learn about Oahu and basically take a nature walk with you around the island. I cannot say enough good things about you and your tour.  It was refreshing to meet someone who seems to deeply appreciate the natural beauty of his surroundings and not take for granted all that it has to offer. You are a rare human being and I must say I have a bit of a crush now!  So, again, thank you for such an insightful and entertaining day. We are already planning a return next February, and we will surely be doing business with Hawaiian Escapades again.

If You Are a Lost Fan, You Must Do This!

Reviewer: Stephen 

(San Jose, CA, USA)

If you're a fan of the TV show Lost, or even if you just want a way of seeing Oahu with new eyes, you owe it to yourself to take a Lost TV Tour. I'll only say that I was very, very pleased, and drove my wife insane the next time we watched the show with my constant chattering of Hey! I've been there! Along the way, you'll gain a better understanding of the history of Hawaii, its many microclimates, and why it's a great place to shoot a show like Lost. You won't regret it.

AMAZING!

Reviewer: Mike 

(Brooklyn, NY, USA)

I came into this expecting the typical blah, blah, blah. Thought I would see a few of the filming sights and stuff along the way. BOY, was I wrong! The tour started off by picking me up at my hotel as stated. I was amazed at how knowledgeable our tour guide was on not just the TV show but all about Hawaii ... knowing all sorts of facts about Hawaii history, people, flora, fauna, geography, economy, etc... the list just goes on and on. I wound up learning so much in just this one day tour than I could have learned in a week on my own!

We got to visit so many filming locations all over the Island of Oahu as well as really experience it for ourselves as well. Our guide also pre-ordered lunch for us so it would be waiting for us when we got there. A HUGE plus after hiking all morning. At the end of the day the guide drives everyone back to their hotels and it was funny because by the end of the tour, all 13 of us were on a first name basis and wishing everyone a good trip and stuff like we knew each other already. This tour is a must even if you don't watch the TV show and especially if you have a limited time in Oahu.

Lost with Others

Reviewer: Dr. Marie 

(United Kingdom)

Very well managed. Impressed with (the guide’s) terrifically well informed commentary and smooth collection and delivery of tour people.

Loved shrimp shack lunch. Recommended to all my fellow travelers on journey back to London and my Lost fans friends here. The highlight of my holiday in Hawaii.

Lost Island Tour - Lost on the Road

Reviewer: Lost Fan 

(Colorado, USA)

My wife and I recently took a trip to Oahu. Being big fans of the Lost TV show, we decided to take the all day, around the island tour. There were several sites visited, encompassing quite a few key sets from the show. It was fascinating to be in these locations and remember back to the scenes from the show. Our memory was jogged by convenient pictures of the scenes printed out and handed around by our tour guide. All and all this was an excellent trip and well worth the money (especially when you factor in that the money goes to cover lunch and admissions to various sites). If you are a fan of the show, and are going to be in Oahu, I would highly recommend this tour!

I Sure Got Lost

Reviewer: Kelly 

(Edmonton, AB, Canada)

I had a great time on this tour. I seen many sets and scenery from the show. My favorite part was to see the actual plane from the show. The guide was very (knowledgeable) about the show and since he lives there he knew his way around and I was very impressed. I liked that we actually got to stop and take pictures and he had his own pictures relating back to the show for the people who weren’t really into the tour. So it was pretty fair. Overall I would definitely recommend this to any lost fans out there! It was awesome!! Favorite part of my trip to hawaii. That was almost the only reason that I came to Hawaii was to go on that tour. I also bought a t-shirt I was so impressed.

January Lost Tour

Reviewer: EMK

(Green Bay, WI, USA)

The Lost tour was the only planned activity we booked before arriving in the islands....and even tho my husband was not a big fan, he had been converted. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the show, right down to which episode in which season. He even made a special, short stop on my request which was unrelated to the tour, but was greatly appreciated by me (a library). The beach stops were especially impressive.

A Note of Thanks

Reviewer: Sara

(Pasadena, CA, USA)

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you what a wonderful experience I had taking your tours.  I very much appreciated your offering alternate tours when the ones for which I registered were a "no go."  Additionally, I really appreciated your knowledge of the island and the flora.  It was exactly what I wanted - to see the island with someone knowledgeable but not be overwhelmed with facts and figures.

Loved the Lost Tour

Reviewer: Joyce

(Maryland, USA)

We came to Hawaii to celebrate our 35th anniversary and to visit our daughter who is working there for 8 months. My daughter gave me the LOST tour for a holiday gift because she knows I LOVE the show.

The two of us were picked up and had a personal tour of many of the spots where LOST is filmed. We were with a guide who was so experienced in all the hidden areas where they film. We never would have found them on our own. He was so knowledgeable in the areas where they do the filming and also of the island. He also gave us other information about the scenic areas and the flora. We learned a lot during the 8 hours. We had the most wonderful lunch at the shrimp truck that we went back ourselves 2 days later.

...

I have asthma and was worried about the physical walking but (the guide) is very patient and doesn't rush you at any site. He gives you lots of time to take pictures and he also acts as the photographer for you with your camera. He is very accommodating. He carries treats and drinks for you for the entire day.

If you like LOST then this is the tour for you, it is personalized and very enjoyable. There are many tours to take on Honolulu but this was the BEST.

Amazing tour

Reviewer: Jill

(New York, USA)

This tour was the highlight of my husband and my trip to Hawaii. If you are a Lost fan it is amazing and even if you are not you get to see beautiful places and learn about Hawaiian flora. The tour guides were a lot of fun as well and very, very knowledgeable. A MUST DO!

LOST tour was great

Reviewer: Jayski

(Matthews, NC, USA)

They picked us up on time and in the cleanest van I have ever seen. We saw more of the island then I think most visitors see.

It was a thrill to see areas where LOST had been filmed and swim in the pond/waterfall area.

(The guide) was very professional and interesting and showed us a good time and it was nice not to be nickel and dimed for anything.

The tour lasted longer then expected, but that was fine with us and we enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone.

A great experience!

Reviewer: Buster's mom

(Indiana, USA)

This tour was fantastic, from start to finish. I booked it for my travel companion and myself, to fill up the day layover that we had between leaving a cruise ship in the morning and flying out that same evening. I am a Lost geek, my friend is less so, but we both had a memorable day.

Our guide took fantastic care of us throughout the tour. He met us with a comfortable sedan, with a trunk full of soda, water, etc as well as snacks.

Right away, I had a special request that apparently required a bit of a detour from the regular route to accommodate, but (the guide) did this with no problem. Good customer service!

For Lost fans, some of the locations on the tour are immediately recognizable and some will be once (the guide) jogs your memory a bit. All of the locations are lovely and enjoyable whether or not you are familiar with the show Lost.

Our lunch was at a wonderful shrimp truck, but there are other options available if fresh shrimp is not your thing.

(The guide) is very knowledgeable, not only with Lost lore but with island events in general. His knowledge of plants and birds made our walk through Audubon Park very enjoyable, much more so than if we had just walked through the place ourselves. I was amazed when he explained a scene that was filmed in the Audubon parking lot!

He puts a lot of effort into providing a first class tour experience. Between his efforts and Oahu's beauty, this tour is a winner. I whole heartedly recommend it for anyone.

Great tour

Reviewer: bhcoop80

(North Carolina, USA)

Wonderful all day tour that went to many Lost sites. Tour guide was great & also gave us overview of Island & much more information rather than just about Lost. Great way to see Oahu & have fun guessing the locations for different shots from the TV show. Also great lunch at Mackeys!

Getting 'Lost' in Hawaii

Reviewer: Emma

(United Kingdom)

If you fancy seeing where and how 'Lost' was shot then this is the tour for you! A whole day spent exploring the island, from Sydney, to the far east, beaches and waterfalls, this tour has it all. You'll be taken around by people passionate about the island and the show to where all your favorite scenes happened, complete with stills to orient you when you get there. The tour is great even for those who know nothing about the show as it takes you to some of the most beautiful places on the island.

...

This tour is absolutely excellent and a must do when you visit Hawaii!

Loved it

Reviewer: lburg7

(Lawrenceburg, IN, USA)

I booked the exclusive tour to fill the time between disembarking from a Hawaiian Island cruise in the morning and an evening flight out of Honolulu. I am a LOST geek, my travel companion is less so. We both thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

We were met at the ship pier by (the guide), who drove us around the island in total comfort, providing us with plenty of tasty snacks, soda and water.

I won't give away tour details, but we saw plenty of immediately recognizable sites during the day. We were able to get out of the car and walk to some of them while (the guide) provided tidbits relating to the show and showed us pictures of the scenes as they were shot for the show. Beyond their relation to LOST, the sites we saw were just plain beautiful.

I think this tour would be a strong one without any of the LOST connections! Of course, I am glad for the LOST connections and all the tidbits that I got during the day. I know something that is going to happen this coming season and I am psyched! Hee!

There were several options for lunch but we did not get beyond the shrimp truck option...no need to go any further! (The guide) took our orders and placed them. He also surprised us with a small platter of fresh island fruit that disappeared almost as quick as the shrimp did. We opted for lunch at an outdoor location, under an umbrella. As I understand it, there are indoor options available as well. Like I said, we simply did not get that far.

This tour provides a brief but nice shopping opportunity at one point. If this does not appeal to you, maybe you can at least enjoy the free coffee sample that is also provided. Me, I only wished that I had booked this tour for the first part of my vacation because I know that I would have bought some neat items. As it was, I had no room left in my suitcases for anything more!

I gave this tour a 4 star rating because I just have a hard time giving perfect ratings to anything. I really have no complaints about this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and I felt that (the guide) was genuinely concerned about providing a quality experience for my friend and me. I would take this tour again any time and I have no problem recommending it to anyone who may be considering it. They met my party at the cruise pier at the expected time and dropped us off at the airport in plenty of time to make our flight home. In between, we had a wonderful day. This was money well spent!

Lost in the Moment

Reviewer: C. Loe

(Gilbert, AZ, USA)

The tour was really great. We saw so many different landmarks on the island and learned so much along the way. The tour guide was great and we actually wished he had been leading some of the other tours we had booked through another agency. This place is the way to go. You will not be disappointed!!!

Really cool!

Reviewer: rosenworks

(Texas, USA)

I had a great time on my Lost TV tour! Our guide was really cool & kept the conversation going throughout the day. (there were only 3 of us due to a reschedule) It was a great way to see the Island & I saw parts that I would not have seen on my own. The waterfall alone was AWESOME!! It was a blast to take a plunge in that water! I did not know what to expect when it came down to seeing where the cast films the show & I was pleasantly surprised at all the locations that we were taken to.

It was cool to see & to say Oh yeah... Mr. Ekco... so this is where... It was really a blast! Wait til you see where the others live! TOTALLY creepy!

It was also amazing to see how much Hawaii can look like other cities & places.(Where Jin & Sun met, lived & worked is all filmed on the island.) The eerie trees where the black cloud comes out is very chilling...you just get these goosebumps.

The only thing I wish I could have done was stay in the waterfall longer... & at the beach, but that could be due to the different people you go with. Some like the beach more than others. I'm kind of a water person. I did not (unfortunately) run into any of the cast members on the island. Maybe somebody will have better luck than me. It's a great way to spend your day...especially if you are (have to be) a LOST fan. Worth going!

Our Excellent North Shore/Lost Adventure Tour

Reviewer: Zeke

(Portland, Oregon, USA)

It was quite a scenic tour of the North Shore. I had been to the North Shore before but I had never seen it like (the guide) showed us. Adding to the beautiful scenery was the fact that when we were at a place where Lost filmed one of their scenes he had a photo of the scene as it was in the TV Show to jog our memories, so you really didn't need to be an absolute fanatic of the TV Show.

It was better than most Tours we had taken on Oahu, and included food, drinks, and extracurricular activities that got our blood pumping instead of just sitting in a van all day long as in most of the tours on the island. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that would like to see the beautiful landscapes/locations of Oahu. Thanks for the GREAT time!
