The Experience
The moment you realize you're standing in the actual McGarrett house from Hawaii Five-0 is strange. Not in a bad way—just unexpected. You've watched the show, maybe rewatched it, and suddenly the set is real and you're inside it, and a former crew member is telling you how they filmed scenes in this exact room. That doesn't happen on most tours. This one is built around that one thing: access to the house itself, which the company says is exclusive to them.
The Honolulu tour runs two ways depending on the day you go. Monday mornings at 10 AM you get lunch—sandwich choices include The Beefy McGarrett, The McGarrett Chicken, or The Veggie McGarrett, plus water and snacks. Thursday afternoons at 1 PM it's island-inspired snacks and drinks instead. Either way, you're eating at McGarrett's House with Cousin Flippa (Shawn Mokuahi Garnett), who was actually on set, and the guide walks you through the locations and the behind-the-scenes stories of how the show was made. It's not a long tour—it's focused—but the insider detail is what sets it apart from a standard filming-location drive-by.
Public transportation gets you there, so you don't need a rental car. The tour works for any fitness level, and if you'd rather bring your own food instead of ordering from the sandwich menu, that's fine too. It's a small, specific thing: you're there for the house, the stories, and the chance to meet someone who actually worked on the production.
What’s included
- Your afternoon includes entry to McGarrett's House, a local guide, bottled water, and snacks.
- On Monday at 10 AM, add a sandwich lunch (choose from The Beefy McGarrett, The McGarrett Chicken, or The Veggie McGarrett).
- On Thursday at 1 PM, enjoy island-inspired treats instead.
- You'll also meet Cousin Flippa and hear stories from a former crew member about how the show was made.
