Overview

Full day exploring North Shore Beaches with swimming, Paddle boarding, Kayaking, Waterfall Hiking & Island Tour Due to the Pandemic & recent changes to Hanauma Bay State Park policy, we cannot take guests to Hanauma Bay for snorkeling at this time. Temporarily until Hanauma Bay reopens to Commercial companies like us, we provide “Tour of North Shore (70%) and Sightseeing (30%)” to replace “The Tour of North Shore and Hanauma Bay In a Day”. This whole day tour will spend 70% of time in beach activities at North Shore including swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding, or Waterfall Hiking, and 30% of the time in sightseeing both the East and North-East Shores, which have some of the most breathtaking sights and where Jurassic Park, Jumanji, Here to Eternity, and 51st Dates had been filmed.
  • Full-day tour of Oahu's North Shore
  • Skip the hassle of renting a car—transportation included
  • Swimming and snorkeling in Hanauma Bay

Seeing the island of Oahu - although very very “rushed!” When members of the group did not return to the bus on time they were publicly “shamed.”

I strongly recommend the Northshore tour, it is a must. You get to see most of the island and the other side of Oahu ( which is beautiful and so different from Waikiki). Kui was our tour guy, he was n time for our tour and communicated with us via text before he arrived to our hotel. He is an excellent tour guide who is very warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and provided us with all the history. Tamara and Paul were also, very nice. Thank you Kui for making this trip memorable.

An AMAZING Oahu experience❤

Our guide Piho was amazing. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient and worked hard to ensure we had the best experience possible. He made all the difference. I have been on tours where you could hardly hear or understand the tour guide. Or they constantly told irritating silly jokes.. Not so with him. He was pleasant and gave you the information you needed without going over the top. He spoke clearly and articulately so we could understand the words he was saying..I love that he showed us a map of the island before we even left, pointing out the places we'd go. He made sure we had plenty of restroom stops and called in our orders ahead, so the dinner wait in line was not too long. He did lots of extras, like always volunteering to take our group pictures. He had everyone sing Happy birthday to three on our bus who were Celebrating birthdays. When we chanced upon a beautiful rainbow, he immediately played Somewhere Over The Rainbow, which was the perfect backdrop. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a wonderful day circling Oahu with an excellent, caring guide.

This tour is amazing. Kui is an excellent tour guide who is very warm and friendly. He felt like family while doing the tour with us. He made sure that all our questions were answered and provided us with all history. The tour of the Northshore is a must. You get to see the other side of Oahu. Our kids kayak and it was fun. We are their famous garlic shrimp ( bring cash) and kids had the chicken katsu. Thank you Kui for making this trip memorable.
