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.

Best part: convenience of having a driver, Haleiwa historical town, Waimea beach, lunch stop at Fumis Trap: Macadamia farm (it is not a farm but a gift shop stop) and Dole plantation If you can rent a car, maybe just drive yourself to these spots. Although the driver we had was quite informative and shared funny stories here and there about the locations we visited.

Amazing experience touring north shore with our guide Paul! He was knowledgeable and entertaining. We enjoyed his stories. If you don’t like being on a time restriction, this maybe not for you as we are allocated only a limited amount of time to sightsee and engage in activities. It was very organized and we loved the food stops. Spicy Garlic shrimp and dole pineapple ice cream was delicious!!!

Aloha Michele, thank you for joining us around the island. Our tour has the option to swim twice in a day. We give our guests the option to swim at Waimea beach or Waimea waterfall. We allow the group just over an hour at each of these places to swim or just hang out. Our second beach stop is in Haleiwa. You can opt to paddle board or kayak or swim at the beach. We also offer the option to walk Haleiwa town if that's too much water time for some. We do not promote snorkeling, though it is an option if you have your own set. We hope you can revisit some of the places you saw & spend as long as you like enjoying paradise! Mahalo & take care!

Paul was the greatest tour guide. He stopped at alot of areas for the greatest photo opportunities that you could ever ask for. Going by turtle Beach very slowly so we could see all the turtles popping their heads out of the water where people were standing on the beach. It was so cool. The waterfall was beautiful and wake boarding was pretty cool for the first time. So many awesome stops that you will never forget. This is a must do tour for everyone to do. It's a small group. No big buses to deal with. He has the timing down perfectly so you don't hit the big crowds of people. Ask for Paul and you won't be disappointed.
