Seamus (and his four-legged companion Sandy) have clearly mastered the art of making visitors feel like ohana. With an impressive track record of near-perfect reviews, this guide stands out for his deep knowledge of Hawaiian history and culture, along with a genuine passion for sharing the islands. Travelers consistently praise his flexibility and personalization—he adjusts tours on the fly based on interests, handles unexpected situations gracefully, and creates an experience that feels intimate rather than touristy. Several reviewers note the private SUV setup beats crowded bus tours hands down. What really shines through is Seamus's ability to balance being informative without being overwhelming. He shares rich historical context while keeping the pace relaxed and fun, letting guests have their own space when needed. The tours hit classic spots like North Shore, Waimea Falls, and Pearl Harbor, with extras like beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and recommendations for local food trucks. Travel advisors trust him enough to send their clients his way, and former island residents who thought they'd seen it all discovered new perspectives through his tours. Even when weather disrupts plans, he adapts seamlessly and keeps the experience memorable.
Shamus is AMAZING!!! Absolute loved the experience he provided for my daughter and me in 2024. I am now a travel advisor and send him all clients that go to Oahu (he makes me look like a genius). Thank you Shamus for being such a wonderful and professional tour guide. You really know the island.
