Lost TV Tour
Trace your way around the island of Oahu to the filming locations for the hit TV show LOST. From take-off to landing and beyond, see where the drama was captured on film. As fans know, many things on the show aren't always exactly what they appear to be... neither are most of the locations you'll have a chance to explore!
The LOST TV Tour focuses on the locations on Oahu where filming has taken place. Re-live the drama as your eyes are opened up to the full view of the on-location LOST sets. The tour travels the circumference of the island with stops at well known and "secret" LOST filming locations.
See spectacular beaches (3 beaches in all) which have hosted scenes from LOST. You will have a chance to swim at the beach, so be sure to bring your swimsuit and towel (changing areas/restrooms available)(time and water conditions permitting).
Stroll through a cool rain forest until you reach a beautiful waterfall. The cast of LOST crossed the stream above the falls. Make sure you have your camera close-by and get your picture taken at this unique hidden waterfall and rainforest location.
Continuing on your adventure, you will drive in the shadow of the spectacular Koolau Mountain Range - the mountains of paradise, and the frequently filmed background for many scenes from LOST. Visit remote locations tucked deep into the mountains where shooting for LOST challenged cast and crew.
During your all day tour, stop for lunch at a Beach Grill with your choice of lunch selections, which includes vegetarian, meat or fish. Lunch is free (included with the price of the tour).
This "behind the scenes" look at the filming locations for LOST will open your eyes to the mystery and drama of the hit TV show. The next time you watch LOST, you'll likely find yourself saying "Hey, I've been there!"
Exclusive LOST TV Tour - now available!
Private Tour for only you and your companions!
The Exclusive LOST TV Tour includes everything that the Regular Lost Tour offers, but the tour will be arranged specifically for just you and your party; no one else will be joining your group. This gives you more flexibility to stay a bit longer where you wish to linger (rather than following a group at a more set pace) and provide a more leisurely schedule. But don't linger too long, because you have a lot to see! |
This tour is ideal for couples, families or intimate groups. This is a popular option with our customers who want a special level of service. This Exclusive Tour is also open to individual travelers!
Your lunch is complimentary; you will stop to eat at the famed LOST "Shrimp Shack" (or other venue if you prefer). You may find yourself where the cast and crew have eaten lunch, or even at one of the several eateries filmed for the show. Snacks are also included throughout the day.
Do you know the world's biggest LOST TV fan? Thinking about Christmas, their birthday or just one incredible surprise? Our Exclusive LOST TV Tour makes a great gift!

The best way to get LOST
Reviewer: Deb

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. Our guide was a great host we could not have asked for any better. The places we saw just made the day perfect; and eating at the Shrimp Shack was the best! That was one of the best places on the island to eat.
I would recommend this excursion to all of my friends and family. |

Getting Lost on Oahu

The tour was fantastic!!!!! Our guides were great and not only was the tour great but the sites we saw along the way were absolutely beautiful. We had a special treat when we arrived at the crashsite: a Sea Turtle that was very big. That was an added bonus. The swim at the waterfall was very refreshing after a day of walking and site seeing.
Thanks for a great day on the Lost TV Tour.

Being huge Lost fans since the very beginning, when we first heard about this tour we started dreaming about it...actually, the Lost tour itself has been the main reason why we decided to travel to Hawaii so you can pretty much figure out we were expecting a lot of it!!
And well, now we can say this tour went further beyond our expectations, showing us the locations we used to know and love and a lot of awesome hidden places that any other tour wouldn't take you to!
The beach camp, Othersville, Eko's Church, the crash site, the rainforest and much much more...the beaches were the most beautiful we've seen in Hawaii and we've also been lucky enough to swim with a really friendly giant turtle!
Thanks a lot to Big Kahuna and to our super nice guide for a day we'll never forget!
We can't help but recommend this tour to any Lost fans around the world, don't miss it!!! |

Lots of Surprises

We took our tour in the beginning of June and were very happy with the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept supplying us with information throughout the trip. We actually went a bit longer than expected which we were happy to do. I don't want to give away any locations but anyone going on this tour will be very excited to see some very major locations. You do have the opportunity to swim at several spots and you should. We also saw huge sea turtles at the first beach. If you are a LOST fan we would highly recommend this trip and the great lunch at the Shrimp Shack. My son age 14 would do it all again. |

This was such a great tour! My wife and I went on the group tour on Wednesday, and though it was a bit crowded, everyone was really nice. 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 if memory serves me correct.
Also, the lunch was absolutely amazing. We stopped at one of those Shrimp Shacks, and while I wouldn't eat there if we were just driving by, I'm very glad our tour guide had us 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. |

We really didn't know what to expect but it was beyond our expectations! Our guide was great and everyone we were on the tour with was very friendly! My only suggestion is to bring a change of clothes in case you want to swim and wear light clothing cause it can be warm! Lunch was great and there was plenty of beverages available to drink in the van. Thanks for a great trip! Highly recommend it! |

If you're a Lost fan, this tour is a must! You get to visit lots and lots of shooting locations -- the most exciting being the camp on the beach! It was awesome seeing all the tents and the production crew was there setting up the tent for Jack's surgery. Our guide was really knowledgeable about the show and has lots of inside scoop on what the crew is up to. We're planning another trip next year and plan on taking the Others tour. Can't wait! |

I took the tour early May and had a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable not only about the tv show but about the island as well. Since then, I've been watching the show with new eyes! The most amazing site was the camp on the beach. It was surreal. My only disappointment was not being able to see the village of the Others. Next time i will have to take the VIP tour. I recommend this tour to every Lost fan. |

Informative tour
Reviewer: Jed

The LOST Tour was very informative. We covered some most interesting sites which included the wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He offered information on areas other than the LOST production such as plants, and animals on the island, and history of the people plus the economy.
It maybe worthwhile to introduce a tour covering more than one day in order to see more sites. |

LOST Tour = Great for fans and nonfans alike
Reviewer: Chris & Nicole

This was a wonderful tour. We're big fans of the show, but we believe that you'd be very well served checking it out even if you have no idea who Jack, Kate and Locke are...
Our guide was able to answer every question I had about the island, it's history and culture.
If you are a fan of the show, you'll see many cool spots and get a different perspective. A neat feature was that the guide carried an iPhone with screenshots of the show, so when we arrived at a certain location, he'd bring us straight to the spot and remind us of the scene.
Lunch at the shrimp truck was great too.
Saw tent city, Eko's church, new triage tent, crash site, fishing site, Nigeria set, Korea set (Buddhist temple), the waterfall where Kate and Sawyer found the case, and more. |

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. The tour didn't disappoint me. 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. We learned 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. It was great! We even saw a few sea turtles while walking on the beach. Thanks a lot. Definitely worth the money and time. |

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! I will admit though....that first beach walk is draining... and the van was full....but overall...absolutely take this tour! |

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: Videpoche

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, he waited patiently while we viewed a live scene for a future airing being set up and run - it will be the house explosion episode at the Other's compound. We saw Hurley and Sawyer live and in action! Wow! A tour can't get any better than that! |

My wife and I had such an amazing time on the LOST tour. We did the exclusive couple tour, and were taken to all 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, and the guide was great at teaching us all about the history of the Island! Thanx again for an amazing time!!!!! |

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. The 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! |

Fantastic day out!
Reviewer: Nick

The tour guide was a great guy and had a vast knowledge of not just the Lost related stuff but of Oahu itself. He was also kind enough to be my photographer for the day, taking pics of me at various Lost shooting locations (thanks again!) It was very interesting to visit some of the locations and see how well the production crew do to make them look as though they are in the middle of nowhere.
Highlights- where do I start? Swimming at Waimea Falls- had the pond to myself most of the time as everyone else thought it was cold. Couldve stayed in there for hours as the scenery was stunning. Walking amongst the familiar buildings of the DHARMA barracks aka- 'otherville'- what a buzz! Friends back here are very jealous I went there, hiking to the banyan tree where many scenes have been filmed, the temple at the cemetery was amazing- not just for the Lost involvement but for its sheer beauty and stunning backdrop.
If your a fan of the show and also want to see some great places around the Nth Shore then I recommend this tour-hopefully you'll have time to visit Pali lookout- what a view!
Thanks again Big Kahuna! |

Genuine Honeymoon Highlight!
Reviewer: Rachel & Paul McCarthy

My husband and I came on the Lost tour at the beginning of August as part of our Honeymoon in Hawaii, from England.
Being big fans of the show was a major factor in why we chose Hawaii as our Honeymoon destination so we were really excited about finding the tour and were very much looking forward to it. We weren't disappointed!
We were picked up by the tour guide from our hotel at 845am and weren't dropped back until 6pm!! The guide was a really friendly, approachable and knowledgeable guy and he made us feel welcome immediately. Throughout the day we were shown numerous Lost locations and the guide filled us in on all the background detail surrounding it.
We were however amazed at how much more the tour offered: from the copious drinks and snacks to the visit to the National Park (& hike through the trail to Waimea Falls) and the Buddhist Temple. Furthermore the lunch was one of the best we had during our 2-week holiday!! Over the course of the day we did virtually a complete round trip of the island which -- considering we were only on Oahu for 4 days -- was just fantastic and made the tour a fantastic value for money.
I would strongly recommend this tour, obviously for fans of the show but also for people who have never seen it. Everyone who has seen our photos has been very impressed and insanely jealous and we couldn't thank the company or more specifically the guide enough for making this day a genuine highlight of our Honeymoon and as such something we will never forget! |

Our tour guide was the best ... He was funny, knowledgeable about the island as well as LOST, and just a whole bunch of other things. Best tour of our stay.
We were picked up around 8AM and with a group of 4 other lost fans, we were on our way. It was so much fun. We shared theories on LOST as well as observations of the show. We saw where scenes were shot and had lunch at the Shrimp Shack (Best meal of our whole stay). The guide acted as our camera guy and posed me and my husband as Kate and Sawyer by the waterfall. It was Great!!!!! my daughter is going in March and they are taking the private tour. I just loved our group. We were all LOST fans so we got along great!! |

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 were on the Lost Tour. We had the most wonderful lunch at the shrimp truck that we went back ourselves 2 days later.
My daughter doesn't watch LOST but said she would now rent the DVDs to catch up before the new season. She also enjoyed talking to the guide about his views on life and such.
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.
Thanks Big Kahuna !!!

We had a wonderful time on the Lost TV Tour. It was tailor-made for our family. We enjoyed all of the spectacular scenery. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the island and the different things that we were seeing. The biggest hit with our kids was swimming in the waterfall and climbing in the Banyan trees. It was a great way to get a glimpse of Oahu. |

Lost on a Guided Tour!
Reviewer: Amber

What can I say? The tour was amazing! As a LOST fan from the beginning, no words can describe the feeling of actually being there in the filming locations. My friends were jealous and at the same time awed when I showed them the pictures I took. The scenic joyride around Oahu was lovely. Our tour guide, knew where to go, which places belonged to what scenes etc. My favorite place was the North Shore beach. It's such a beautiful place, and the wind! It's as they show it on tv, no words for it.
When I got back to the hotel that night, I waited for Lost to air. When familiar scenes came on, I couldn't help but point out to my parents I was there a while ago!!!. Every time I watch Lost, I'm always brought back to the memories of the tour. It will definitely stay with me forever.
I highly recommend this tour to the Lost fans out there! Given the chance, I'd do it again! :)
PS: On our tour, the day concluded with a beautiful, bright rainbow. :D |

Our Excellent North Shore/Lost Adventure Tour
Reviewer: Zeke

September 18, 2007

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 the guilde 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! |

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! |

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. The guide met my party at the cruise pier at the expected time and he 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! |

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.
The 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 for the day.
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 was 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 the guide explained a scene that was filmed in the Audubon parking lot!
The guide put a lot of effort into providing a first class tour experience. Between the guide's efforts and Oahu's beauty, this tour is a winner. I whole heartedly recommend it for anyone. |

The guide 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 use and we enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone |

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 the last person so off we went and the tour began. I was amazed at how knowledgeable our tour guide was on not just the TV show but all about Hawaii. He knew all sorts of facts about it's History, People, Flora, Fauna, Geography, Economy, etc...the list just goes on and on. I wound up learning more in just this one 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 and really experience it for ourselves as well. The 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.
My only disappointment was that we didn't get to see the waterfall/lagoon. For some reason it was closed off that day, but it was the main selling point of the tour for me. Luckily the rest of the tour more than made up for it. This tour is a must even if you don't watch the TV show and especially if you have a limited time in Oahu. |

We are big fans of LOST and when we decided to spend or honeymoon in Oahu, it was a given that we would have to find some of the locations used in filming LOST. We could have done a lot of research to find out about locations, but our guide and Big Kahuna did the work for us. Not only did he show us a lot of iconic locations used in the show, but we got a great overview tour and history of the island of Oahu. Plus we got a sneak peak at some locations used in future episodes of the show. We would definitely recommend this tour for any fan of LOST who has a day to spend seeing the places made famous by the show. |

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 the Lost TV Tour. I won't spoil the surprise by telling you which Lost locations that they visit; 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 micro-climates, and why it's a great place to shoot a show like Lost. You won't regret it. |
