The Best Way To Get LOST
Reviewer: Deb
(San Antonio, TX, USA)
From the moment we were picked up at our hotel until we came back in the afternoon it was just a wonderful experience. We got to
see so much and learn so much about LOST it was really worth it. The places we saw just made the day perfect; and eating at the
Shrimp Shack was the best! The Shrimp Shack was one of the best places on the island to eat. I would recommend this excursion to
all of my friends and family.

Historic Tour
Reviewer: Chris
(Canada)
We are so grateful to our guide for the cultural and history tour we took, Honolulu's Hidden Treasures. His knowledge
of the area and history was great. It was extremely interesting learning about the history of the monarch and the
surrounding area. Yes, the Capital government building doesn't look like much but after the explanation we now have
a better understanding of the architecture and design of the structure. We will recommend your tour.

Ghost Hunt Tour
Reviewer: Chris
(Canada)
We enjoyed the Ghost Hunt tour. Our guide certainly knows his ghostly history and with the use of the dowsing rods, everyone
in our group certainly felt the presence of many ghostly electrical forces that evening. I know my rods were never still.
The stories still resonate, especially the night marchers, servants slid under sea, Gate 31, theatre 14, floor 19 and the new
highway where voices can be heard. And, my wife had just spoken to the statue of the Queen when she smelt the sweet aroma of
lei flower lotion, yet no one else did nor was anyone else around when this happened. We highly recommend this tour to anyone
else interested.
Mahalo for the most wonderful time that we had during our tour. We definitely will take your tours again, should we return to
Oahu and in the meantime we will be recommending your tours to everyone who are planning to go to Hawaii.

Great Tour!
Reviewer: Chris
(Dallas, TX, USA)
This was such a great tour! My wife and I went on the group tour… we saw about 15 to 20 locations. It was hard to
get an exact number because just about everywhere we went, on the way, our guide would tell us about places that
we were passing that were used on Lost. As far as places we got to walk on, we saw about 10 locations. We got to
see the actual locations of our favorite Lost scenes!
The lunch was absolutely amazing. We stopped at one of those Shrimp Shacks. I'm very glad our tour guide suggested
we eat there. It was definitely worth it! We went on this tour toward the end of our Honeymoon and that was perfect
for us. After doing our own exploring, we got to go with someone that really knew the island. Depending upon how you
are, going at the end of your trip might work for you as well.

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.

Experience Was Amazing!
Reviewer: Tammy
(Syracuse, New York, USA)
Well first off my whole experience to Oahu was amazing. I can't wait to go back!
As for the Lost tour definitely not what I was expecting it to be. I was thinking that we would be on a bus
with a bunch of people not being able to hear or see anything. Boy was I wrong. It was perfect because it
was just our guide and five of us.
It was really neat to be able to see parts of the island where they filmed the show. Although there was points
where it took me awhile to see some of the areas because the show is so digitally enhanced. Our guide was great.
He was very knowledgeable not just about the show but about the island itself.
We also got to see them filming which was very awesome. Even though we couldn't get close. I also loved where we
ate. Our guide told us about the best Shrimp Shack on the island, we definitely went back and ate there!!!
All around my trip to Oahu was fantastic! Hope to go back and be able to do a different tour with you!

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.
February 27, 2008
AMAZING!
Reviewer: Mike
(Brooklyn, NY, USA)
I came into this expecting he 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.
December 5, 2007
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!
November 7, 2007
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!!!
September 24, 2007
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!
