Overview

This whole day tour will spend 70% of our time doing beach activities on the North Shore. Guests will have the option to Swim, Kayak or Paddle Board, or do a Waterfall Hike, which have some of the most breathtaking sights and where Jurassic Park, Jumanji, Here to Eternity, and 51st Dates had been filmed. The other 30% of the time is spent sightseeing both the East and North-East Shores. Encompassed in beauty and splendor, the Hanauma coastline is a destined location for popular movies such as Jurassic Park, Jumanji, Blue Hawai’i, Here to Eternity and 51st Dates. Due to the Pandemic & recent changes to Hanauma Bay State Park policy, we are not able to take guests to Hanauma Bay for snorkeling at this time. When commercial activities are reinstated at the Bay we will resume that tour.

The water fall was our favorite
Brooke_S
, Nov 2021
This was a great way to see the island. Ray was funny and super knowledgeable on all things Hawaii! He had great music playing and talked / taught as we drove along. The water fall the was BEST part ! Unfortunately, there was an accident that closed the road and we sat for 2 hrs on the bus in stand still traffic. We didn’t make it to our last activity and only had 30 minutes at Dole. Totally not Ray’s fault ( completely out if his control ) but he did keep conversation going as we sat.

Our 1st (hopefully not last) island tour!

Comfortable small bus for the tour. Tiho, our guide and driver, was VERY knowledgable and informative. Wish bus could've stopped at certain locations for pix but didn't. Also, lunch was too early as we had a full breakfast about 3 hrs earlier. In all, DEFINITELY recommed this tour!

Greatest honeymoon experience ever
Sara_D
, Oct 2021
It was very informative and super fun! We are honeymooners and Tiho (our bus driver) made it very special. Tiho was very knowledgeable about the island. We got to see all of Oahu. My husband stood up on the paddleboard for the first time. The instructor was very helpful. I ate macadamia nuts for the first time because of a family member has a severe allergy so it was very yummy. The beaches were so beautiful to see.

Kurt, our tour guide, was very informative and entertaining. Did a lot of extra things to make our tour and a good memory, like at the of tour, he called my wife and I and another couple up and presented us with Hawaiian Lai for celebrating our anniversaries. Called another couple up and did the same for being on their honeymoon. He had bottles of water on ice waiting for us when we got back from our hike. He would phone in our lunch order so we wouldn’t have to wait long. He really went the extra mile to make sure everyone on his bus had a great time.

Aloha, We are sorry to hear your feedback. Appreciate the good words on our tour guide. Due to Pandemic we cannot do snorkeling at the world famous Hanauma Bay, instead we replaced it with sightseeing beautiful East and north-east coasts. We clearly stated at Viator/TripAdvisor site about this change of no snorkeling. We have tried snorkeling at North Shore for a while, but because of the big waves we found out it is not safe and cannot see fishes that much. This is the reason why we decided not to do snorkeling at North Shore. Safety of the guests is our top priority. Regarding watching Turtles we don't promise, but sometimes we can see them on the beaches or while we do paddle boarding/kayaking, there is high possibility to see turtles. Most of the guests like the activities like waterfall hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking, or swimming. If Pandemic is over, we will do snorkeling at Hanauma Bay without any problem of safety issues. Aloha
