Guest Reviews

Our guides Trey and Nikki have earned five-star review after five-star review on TripAdvisor and Viator. Here's what guests say about a day around O'ahu with them.

Many of these reviews were written about Trey and Nikki while they guided for other tour companies prior to founding Summit O'ahu. They're shared here because the guide — not the company — is who guests are raving about. Nikki guided under her given name, Nehir, so you'll see that name in many of the reviews below.

Summit O'ahu reviews from guests on our own tours:

“Trey was one of the best tour guides we've had — and we've taken our fair share of tours. This is the first time I didn't fall asleep. Trey talked the entire time and we loved it! Very informative and we learned a lot!”

“Nehir was our tour guide and she was wonderful. Friendly, warm, and extremely knowledgeable about Hawaii. She spoke of aloha and how it's not just a saying or greeting — she truly embodies it.”

“Trey was very knowledgeable and a fun guide with a very interesting life story. The tour was run very smoothly — a great way to see quite a bit of O'ahu in one excursion. We saw a monk seal and sea turtles!”

“We happen to schedule during the marathon, and although the logistic was difficult because of it, they adapted wonderfully and were fast to answer our concerns. Trey was an amazing guide, full of stories, great vibes and seemed to know it all. I would strongly recommend it.”
