About

Fans of the smash-hit television show Hawaii Five-0 will love this locations tour which includes guaranteed access to “McGarrett’s House”, lunch and meet and greet with cast member Shawn “Cousin Flippa” Kaua’awa Garnett!

Lunch at McGarrett’s offers Hawaii Five-0 fans an experience of a lifetime. We take fans of the show through the entire process of creating it in one of its most important locations … McGarrett’s House! You’ll meet Cousin Flippa and get many of your questions answered about how the show was produced first-hand from the star personally.

He is a true “local boy” who grew up on Oahu and embodies the real meaning of the “Aloha Spirit”. Aside from being one of the favorite characters for fans of the hit show, Shawn is a Hawaii celebrity in his own right. He is a popular radio deejay, and thousands across Oahu tune in regularly for his weekend show on ALT 105.9.

In addition to exclusive access to one of Hawaii Five-0’s most popular stars, you’ll also get to meet the owners of the historic and world-famous Bayer Estate residence, take photos in the famous and iconic lawn chairs often featured on the show, and enjoy a sit-down lunch with gourmet sandwiches. The backdrop of the house is the endless blue Pacific Ocean. It is an unforgettable experience.

Lunch at McGarrett’s Hawaii Five-0 Tour will also take you to many locations including the show’s headquarters on the slopes of Diamond Head at the Hawaii Film Studio, and to the many Downtown Honolulu and Chinatown locations that were featured regularly on every episode of the blockbuster series.

McGarrett’s house is located on a sweeping beachfront property on the Southeast side of Oahu. The home was featured in more than 85 episodes (by our count) on one of the longest-running shows in television history. “McGarrett’s” is as much of a character in the Hawaii Five-0 series as the many dozens of personalities and locations that make the show so uniquely loved by so many viewers. Book’em TODAY, this tour regularly sells out!
