Departure Time

8:00 AM
Begin your tour of Oahu's North Shore with convenient pickup at your Waikiki hotel. Climb aboard a mini-bus or limo and take off for the rugged northern part of the island, long a favorite of surfers and travelers who want to escape the city pace of Waikiki. 

Drive straight to the famous Banzai Pipeline beach, where the surfing world's champion is decided each year. Hit up Turtle Town, the Dole Pineapple Plantation, and Waimea Bay as your guide provides engaging narrative. 

Make a pit stop for lunch at a local restaurant (included with upgrade) and go swimming or stand-up paddleboarding (included with upgrade). Continue to Hanauma Bay, where you can swim and snorkel at what is considered one of the island's best beaches. Be treated to sights of flourishing coral, bright tropical fish, and the occasional sea turtle.

Wrap up your tour and head back to your Waikiki hotel.

I liked this tour, it allowed me to see the island. Snorkeling was the highlights. The beautiful fish is very close to the shore. It makes it possible even for people who don't want to swim far to enjoy it... Cameron our guide was great, providing info, taking care of us and helping with pictures

Was one of the best tours I have ever been on! Our guide Cam was friendly, funny, and fantastic. It felt like he was part of our family by the end of the day. Lunch at the shrimp truck and paddle boarding were the highlights of the day. The scenery was breathtaking. We would never have been able to cover the area and do the things that we did on our own. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

We decided not to rent a car for our vacation, and went with a tour instead. We are so happy we did. With this tour, you will have the opportunity to see parts of the island that you would not normally see as a tourist. They will pick up from certain locations, but Aulani was not one of them. Even though we took a taxi to and from Waikiki, it was well worth it. Riding along with Kurt was a true pleasure. It is not easy to entertain a diverse group of individuals ( including a child ) but he did. If you are considering this tour, book it. It’s worth the money. Also, the shrimp lunch is to die for. Best shrimp I have ever had.

The tour was well planned. The tour guy Cameron was GREAT, friendly, professional, and informative. My 6 year old girl Annie loved him. We could tell Cameron enjoyed the tour as well, not feel like working at all. The lunch coconut/garlic/spicy shrimp with rice were SUPER delicious, way beyond a light lunch. We had a great time. Will definitely recommend this tour and will bring other family members back to join this tour again.
