- Byodo-In Temple - As we drive along the Ko’olau mountain range we stop to discover a hidden gem tucked away from the main road. Byodo-In Temple was featured by National Geographic in “20 of the world’s most beautiful Buddhist temples,” noting its architectural details and awe inspiring surroundings.
- Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet) - Famously known as “The Little Country Store On Your Way to the North Shore” Steve and Chrissy Paty started this as a roadside operation in 1987 and now, three decades later it’s a great place to try different local snacks and learn how to crack open some macadamia nuts as the chickens stand by watching hungrily hoping you drop a nut or two.
- Pounders Restaurant - At Pounders, guests will have access to a greater variety of dining options, and after their meal, they can explore the retail shops at Hukilau Marketplace within the Polynesian Cultural Center. As an added bonus, Pounders is offering our guests a 10% discount at select stores
- Waimea Valley - Join your E Noa tour guide on a short hike to a stunning 45-foot waterfall, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. Along the way, discover the rich history of Waimea Valley and learn why this sacred area holds deep cultural and spiritual significance.
- Dole Plantation - We conclude our day with a scenic drive through the charming Haleiwa Surf Town and picturesque pineapple fields, leading to a stop at the famous Dole Plantation. Be sure to indulge in the world-renowned DoleWhip frozen dessert—a refreshing treat to enjoy under the warm Hawaiian afternoon sun!

The most caring KuKu …the life of the tour - KUku was an absolutely and amazingly incredible tour Guide! He went above and beyond his schedule to pick us (back) up to the New venue that we missed. From the start to the finale, the whole journey was lively, engaging, entertaining, very enjoyable, informative and extremely accommodating! He’s the definition of a multi careered person that can be skilled in all areas. I wish I could’ve more time with the group, esp Kuku as I am starting a ‘memoir’ and journalizing my travels in my retirement years. I am fr Round Rock TX and born fr the Phils and have learned a lot from KUKu. in a day. Aloha and wishes more of his Clone in the tour community, very caring in its organic form! 🌺🌺🌺

Majestic Circle Tour with Kumu - Worth every penny and then some. Very comfortable seats in mini bus. No large crowds so more individualized attention. Driver was" Krazy "Kumu. He was a highlight of the experience with many stories and details about the island and places along the route. Was very attentive to all passenger's needs. Had each family tell where they were from so got to know others easily. Pounders was good for lunch. Poke bowl was good pork good and soup and salad good. Waiters were attentive and food brought out promptly. Waimia Falls was easy trek up to waterfall. We did not swim but others did. Most can do the trail. Take sunscreen and water. It was cloudy when we walked with bursts of sun but if all sunny might have been more taxing. Waterfall was ok kinda underwhelming as waterfalls go but still worth the experience. Dole has done whip outside vendors as well as inside. Was quick line. Had been to Byodo temple before so walked around looking at koi ponds but neat experience if first time and beautiful surroundings. Lots of people the day we went.Enjoyed Macadamia Farm especially free samples. I think honey roasted and cinnamon my favs a few others liked onion garlic which not a fan of. The coffee sample was nice too. Lines but move quickly. Support small business and buy a bag or two. Overall a worthwhile experience. Have been 4X before to Hale Koa and finally decided to do a tour .Enoa imo the best! Thanks again Kumu!!!

Mostly great - The guide was terrific. I do wish we had gotten to stop at North Shore and at turtle Beach even for one minute I didn’t wanna do the whole Pearl Harbor tour, but I wish we could’ve gotten a decent picture of all three of those things that made me really sad.
The lunch was OK. The rest of the people on the bus were super fun. I could’ve done more waterfall and less temple and less dole pineapple, but all in all it was good.

Kimo and E Noa tours - Kimo, our driver and guide, is the most memorable part of this trip. He provided us with many stories of Hawaiian culture, history, the sites we were seeing and even taught a few of us how to hula! I gave 4 stars only because I wish we had a bit more time at Waimea Falls and a little less at Dole Plantation. All in all E Noa tours run a professional tour and Kimo is fantastic!
