Amazing Time - Amazing scenes and great food!
The driver was a great entertainer and was super funny. Because it was an all in tour getting around the venues was super easy, our driver knew everyone and with no tickets or surveys we got through quickly. If you’re going to do a tour to north shore, this is for you.

Great tour, if looking for activities DEFINITELY book - It was amazing! We had the opportunity to hear about Hawaii’s history and have some awesome views along the way! We were able to snorkel/hike to a waterfall and swim in it. Overall, 10/10 great experience I would totally recommend.

One of the best tours we’ve done. - Got picked up by our guide Uncle Kevin. Only two families on the tour and as we started off, we were encouraged to ask questions. Uncle Kev was full of information and local knowledge/history (born and breed on the island) and a great guide for the day. The stops were well timed and spaced and made the day fly passed. The lunch stop at the food trucks was cool, plenty of variety for everyone and you can sit on the beach enjoying the view too. Highly recommend this tour company and hope you get Uncle Kevin as your guide.

The BEST tour - Sam was outstanding and very accommodating. We were at the wrong pick up spot, and he called us to find us! We learned so much about the beautiful island of Oahu, the people, and history from him. The sights were gorgeous. There were a variety of activities to choose from - all of which were great so it was hard to choose.

Amazing North Shore Tour! - Cousin G is a friendly, funny, and punctual man who picked up my husband and I at a location about 5 minutes away from our Airbnb (he can also pick up and drop off at major hotels). We first had an entertaining and educational talk on our long drive to the north shore area. First stop at the macadamia nut farm allowed free samples of some deliciously flavored macadamia nuts and coffee! Cousin G then took us to a fruit stand where we had turon or sweet fried bananas (fresh fruits and smoothies also available). We stopped at the beach and Banzai pipeline to watch the tall waves and surfers. Finally, Cousin G dropped some of the other tourists off at the snorkeling spot (possible to do but maybe not recommended given how rough the water is in December) and then took my husband and I to Waimea Valley, educated us on the various plants and bird species, and then we made our way up to the falls on our own (20-25 minute hike for us on paved roads in our sandals) where we swam with life jackets on for slightly over half an hour. There are lockers to store your stuff for $10 cash if needed. We had lunch at the Waimea Valley (pretty decent garlic shrimp!!) and then Cousin G picked us up and dropped us off at the kayak/paddle board area. My husband and I used single kayaks and spotted many turtles by the water and even saw fish jump out of the water! After our one hour kayak session, we went to Haleiwa for shaved ice (shout out to Matsumoto’s), and then took an hour nap/drive back to Waikiki. Overall, this was a fantastic, fun-packed tour from 8AM to 5:30PM and it is super worth it! I would do it again when I revisit Waikiki.
