North Shore Activities with Uncle Kevin
Michelle_C
, Jul 2022
Best day out. Highly recommend. Uncle Kevin kept us informed and entertained as we drove up to the North Shore. The activities we chose included snorkeling at Shark's Cove, which was some of the best snorkeling I've done and kayaking up a stream where we saw a number of turtles. A little bit more time to explore Hale'iwa would have been appreciated, but overall a fantastic day out.

Sam is THEE Man lol, my family and I truly enjoyed this experience and I HIGHLY recommend this tour!! We loved visiting the waterfall, although the hiking part it not so much lol wear comfortable shoes! My mother and brother enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaking as well. The only thing that upset me a bit was having our lunch vouchers not being honored from the kitchen staffers however Sam cleared everything and it was fine afterwards!

"Uncle Kevin" was great. We did the botanical garden walk with the waterfall and the town tour. In hindsight, we should have done the double kayak instead of the town tour. Kevin was an amazing tour guide. He supposedly grew up on the island and shared a lot of knowledge of the island. Pickup and dropoff went smoothly. There are lockers available at the stops. Also, sushi at the Foodland was delicious and highly recommended!

"Uncle" Kevin was phenomenal. We have always had a car to drive to the North Shore but this was our first guided tour. It felt like we were visiting for the first time and learning all about all things Hawaiian. At one point, I asked if his favorite class in school was History. It was. He's very funny and approachable. Great tour guide! Oh! The activities were great. We were confused on the booking on when we could get lunch. You get lunch on your first stop and you are able to do both activities and get lunch. Also, pickup location was confusing on the details. The actual tour is 5 stars

Uncle Kevin is an awesome tour guide and we’re glad you had a wonderful time on our tour of choices. Pick up locations can be confusing if you book through 3rd party apps, as their system’s don’t communicate well sometimes. Next time, book direct. We are the original and best north shore activity tour.
