KOS Tours

I scour reviews for hotels and tours to make sure it's going to be a good experience for our travels. Prior to booking the specific tour I had questions which were answered quickly upon emailing. We arranged to meet at a soot in Waikiki (hey shoppers pick a meetup at A La Moana so you can shop after your tour). We headed down the ramp and wondered how we would find him but it was pretty easy with a license plate that said Lost on a grey Dharma van! First, I had absolutely no idea that the tour would be conducted by an actor from the show! Greg was in several scenes filmed in HI for Lost and greeted us with a smile & promise of visiting many Lost sites. I won't list all the sites as they may be different for your tour, we wanted ours specifically focused on Lost. I am a huge Lost fan, my husband and teenager were ambivalent. Greg had tons of trivia which we were terrible at but it made it so much fun for all of us.I loved that the tour wasn't rushed, I was able to spend as much time at the beach and the temple as I wanted to reflect on how much the show meant to me. They were both emotional moments and I really appreciate being able to absorb the reality of being there. While I loved every site that we saw (penny's boat!) those two were the highlights for me. I binged Lost on hulu last year and was grateful that for every site we stopped at Greg had pictures of the scene on his iPad to remind us of what occurred there. He gave a very detailed explanation and we had discussions where appropriate. Don't forget, he was an actor in the show so he had a lot of personal input which I loved! My teen said that was his favorite part. Greg and this tour company are unique, there was no attempt to upsell or bring their own camera to sell us pictures afterwards. At every site Greg asked if I wanted a picture and even had some special magic shots for certain sites! I can't tell you or it would be a spoiler for your experience. Greg I still want tshirts when you create them! He even has a custom made CD of his favorite Lost music, which was a treat.This tour with Greg was without a doubt the highlight of our trip, he was incredibly knowledgeable about Hawaii and Lost which is exactly what we were looking for. Not a Lost fan? He has lived in Hawaii all his life and the tour would have been just as meaningful without the movie references. I only wish that we planned to come back again as I would book the Jacob lighthouse hike as well. I guess at some point I'll say "we have to go back!". You could certainly make a list of what you want to see and tour Oahu on your own but you don't get to have the same experience as having a native guide you through it. Please don't hesitate to book a tour, make sure to ask for Greg for many fun surprises. Mahalo to Lost Tours Hawaii for the memories!

This tour was so much more than I was hoping for. We have talked about going to Hawaii for years, and when we finally made the decision to go, taking a Lost tour was a huge part of the scheduling/ decision-making. So my expectations were pretty high!Dave was our guide and we ended up having a private tour for the three of us (my husband, the true Lost fan, me [I did watch the whole series once through] and our 15-year-old son, whom we had forced to watch a few episodes.We all LOVED the tour. Dave is knowledgeable about so much about Oahu and Hawaii. Geology, history, flora & fauna... the tour was more than Lost, but Lost was definitely the centerpiece. The screencaps from the show set the stage, so we could really see/ remember the moments filmed in each spot.If you are a Lost fan, this tour will meet every expectation. If you're not into Lost, I suspect that their non-Lost circle tour is just as amazing.

Awesome tour! We took the Circle Island Tour, and it was just my wife, our 5-year-old, and myself, as nobody else seemed to have booked the Circle Island Tour that day (a Tuesday). Our guide, Dave, is not only a very knowledgeable Lost fan, but he's also a very nice guy. He made us feel welcome and it wasn't awkward at all.Something I really liked is that you don't have to just trust he's right. He teaches you what's special about each location so that you can clearly spot it on screen, and doesn't leave you with the doubt of "could the scene have been filmed in some other random location that looks pretty much the same?".Overall, excellent experience. Highly recommended.PS: if you take the tour with a toddler and you're visiting the waterfall (highly recommended), take a stroller with you. It's a bit of a long walk, with hills, all asphalt.

Our tour guide Greg was so personable and incredibly interesting. Loved learning about the island and about Greg's experience as an extra on so many shows!We went on the north shore tour and saw so many awesome Lost locations, it was gorgeous and surreal. We felt so lucky to be the only ones on the tour so it was very personalized. Greg took so many awesome pics of usHighly recommend! Can't say enough great things about Greg!

We loved loved loved our Circle Island LOST tour!! You get to see soooo much of the island even a non-fan of Lost could enjoy the tour. Hawaii is so beautiful and this is a great way to soak it all in. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and funny, with one guide even rolling with having his vehicle consist of two kids and one person who hadn't seen Lost a great way to spend a day in Hawaii. Take the tour earlier in the week so you can go back to places you see along the way on another day. If you loved Lost you need the tour and even if you didn't, it's still worth it.

LOST tour is essential if you are a LOST fan and want to explore the island. Greg was great, super casual and always made the tour fun. He took my photos because I was solo. We had a solid group of people. Lunch we stopped at was fantastic. Thanks Greg for the best day!

Had a great time with n the ATV tour. The only thing I didn't like was how dirty we all got. Had to wash my hair twice and I still felt dirty. But it was worth it lol.

I was super disappointed in this. It's like the host didn't even try to make it a 5 star experience. I have been a diehard lost fan since the show came out, I always wanted to go to Hawaii and see the places where it was filmed. The entire time, it felt like we were rushed from location to location, we hardly had a change to stop and take photos. The "hike" felt like a race, we couldn't even enjoy and explore the botanical garden. By the end, it felt like the host just wanted to get us home and end the day, so maybe the last hour of the "tour" was a quiet drive, passing a handful of iconic lost locations that even I knew about, without even so much of a mention.Sadly, this tour has somewhat ruined my love for lost.Thanks for nothing.

I took the circle island tour a couple weeks ago with my daughter, who also loves Lost. We really enjoyed going behind the scenes to see how the team working on the show used Oahu in so many ways. Our guide was knowledgeable and kept us engaged throughout the day. It was also a nice way to check out the island. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is a fan of the show.

This is a must for any fan of LOST! This tour is so much fun and shows you all of the amazing places where LOST was filmed. Literally had the best day ever. Greg was a fantastic tour guide; he was actually an extra on the show so has so many cool insider facts
