All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

Great experience!!!! Highly recommended. It’s safe!!!!

I looked at a lot of tours and this one seemed most inclusive. I had done one many years ago and wanted to show my kids now. First of all, it’s awesome when you have a fun tour guide. I’m sure they are all great, but I did feel lucky to have “Chief Rob” as ours. Because he is local and taught us a lot about Hawaiian culture and the language and history. I enjoyed hearing about his family too. He is a funny guy with a lot of information and also incredibly good delivery with the jokes! Made us all laugh and interact. But also the tour has the perfect stops. You get to see just about everything! Obviously can’t stay too long every place as it takes 10 hours in the end already. But it seemed just right to me at most places. If you are buying food anywhere, have one person jump in line and the other goes to shop and look around. We didn’t get shave ice in Haleiwa as the lines were too long but it was nice to walk around the area. Next stop was Dole anyway and we got Dole Whip there. The food stop at Fumis was delicious! Man that shrimp is so good that now I don’t want to eat it at home. I only want the good stuff! One of my favorite stops was Waimea Falls. Time was tight there with kids whining and trying to make it to see the Falls. We made it and hustled back in the refreshing rain and were one of the last on the bus. It’s just such a beautiful place and I could stay for hours. But next time you rent a car and go to your favorite places. It was a great tour and I highly recommend it! Thanks Rob!

During the drive, I found it fascinating to hear about the origins of Hawaii and current stories from the guide in Japanese. The Dole Plantation was also a perfect spot for a restroom break and souvenir shopping. The main horseback riding was guided by a kind elderly couple who owned the ranch, and it was enjoyable to ride through the forest course. Having only six people in the group made it relaxing and fun. It was my first time horseback riding, but it felt similar to walking a dog, and I was able to control the horse well. In Haleiwa, I tried the garlic shrimp that the guide recommended, and it was the best I've ever had. On the way back, I fell asleep and we quickly arrived in Waikiki. I'm glad I experienced this tour.

ドライブ中はガイドさんから、日本語でハワイの起源とか現在の話が聞けて興味深かった。
また、ドールプランテーションも丁度良いトイレ休憩とお土産購入になった。
メインの乗馬も牧場主の優しい老夫婦の案内で林間コースを回った。
人数が6人と少なかったのが良かったのか、のんびりして楽しかった。
乗馬は初めてだったが、犬の散歩と似ていてコントロールでき、良い子だった。
ハレイワでは、ガイドさんが教えてくれたガーリックシュリンプを食べたが、今までで一番美味しかった。
帰りは、寝てあっという間にワイキキに着いた。
このツアーは体験して良かった。

Great views, service, and well served lunch. I will surely recommend this to anyone.

We had Jonah as our tour guide, and it was a fantastic experience! We were picked up from the front of our hotel and shared a van with two other couples, which was nice. Jonah immediately began telling us all about local buildings and other factoids as we drove to our first location. All of the locations were a lot of fun, but the stand out was the sea turtles. We were able to stay there a bit longer than planned and enjoy the several wild sea turtles who were swimming by and beginning to climb onto the sand. Everyone had a blast taking pictures of this, and Jonah was clearly enjoying himself as well and made sure to point out other turtles he saw for us to get a full experience! 10/10 would recommend!

Our guide Jonah was bloody awesome. The bloke could be a part time real estate agent! Chilled as too. His ring tone - soundtrack to Magnum PI should be Hawaii's anthem.

The minibus was clean and looked fairly new - no mucking about. Jonah had his headset so all the peeps in the backseat could hear his valuations of properties, which doughnut vans and food trucks to eat at, movies and tv shows filmed in Hawaii and places of interests. He struck a pose better than Madonna when she first donned the headset.

Lunch was at a massive gathering of food trucks. Superb tucker! Huli Huli Chicken is a must, as well as the garlic prawns (shrimps, for you Yankies) at The Bald Guy - all recommended by Jonah - he's been there done them all - how does he keep that figure?

I won't spoil it too much - we got to see turtles swimming in less than a metre away from you (3 feet) as well.

Anyway, I highly recommend this tour - avoid the bloody big buses and have an intimate one with Jonah - he's an absolute bloody legend - nuf said!

This was hands down the coolest thing we have done. not just on the island. but in general. brandon and the whole team were very friendly and funny. made the whole experience above what me and my wife were expecting. beautiful views and an experience we’ll never forget!! MUST DO THIS!!

Excellent service and wonder experience, thank you Kevin

We hit the jackpot! Kimo was an excellent tour guide and was full of history and information. When we got to the different spots, he walked with us, telling us more. We saw other E Noa drivers sitting by their buses waiting for the people to come back. Kimo made the trip so much fun! Don’t be last on the bus or he’ll make you do a short hula while he plays his ukulele!

Not sure if you can request, but If you get Kimo, you’re going to get waaay more than your moneys worth!

Oh! And the local lunch spot was DELICIOUS! We wanted to get another and take it back to the hotel!

We had the most amazing time and experience ever I highly highly recommend!!! Would do this again in a heart beat.

Had an amazing time!!! The tour guides were amazing!!

Had a great day at the hike and the tour of Oahu island was very informative and fun!! Jonah, our tour guide, was very polite and knowledgeable. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to hike and wants to learn about Oahu Island and its most popular sightseeing places. This hike and tour is worth your money. You won’t be disappointed.

The Luau was perfect from beginning to end. It was organized and the staff was very friendly. Was great to see the dancers were also the greeters, wait staff and doing the demonstrations as well. The Host was very entertaining. Loved how friendly everyone was. The food was wonderful. Would definitely recommend as the Luau to attend.

People were all very kind and helpful. It was fast and easy. Very informative. Best experience, beautiful views. Definitely worth going!!!

It’s a great experience visiting the North Shore with Calvin! He’s funny and created a relaxing environment for us!
I would recommend a tour with Uncle Calvin who takes good care of folks in the tour and gave many good advices on where to get good food in town.

This tour really showed the best of the island and some of the best spot on Oahu!

This was so freaking fun. i thought that id be scared but the crew made me feel comfortable and calm. It was a great experience and i highly recommend to anyone

When visiting Oahu, go to the north shore and participate in this excursion. It was a great experience, got lots of footage and learned so much. The crew was great.

This was a super easy experience! We were dropped off and picked up in the same location and got to explore whatever we wanted for 5 hours. Loved it!

This is an absolute must do. It was so amazing to see the sharks swimming right next to you and under you in a completely safe environment. The crew was also amazing; very knowledgeable and kind.

Stephanie our tour guide was awesome, let me just state the first!
Doing the Diamond Hike that early was great, being one of the first ones on the hike(less people to wade through) and the cooler temperature in the morning allowing the ease of the hike to be a breeze.
Then checking out the eastern part of the island is relaxing when you do not have to drive yourself. Exploration is something that intruiges me, so looking to where i can go and explore on my own; this tour allows just that. This is something to do if you do not what to explore on this side of the island. Allowing you to take another tour, or rent a car and explore yourself. This being the first time for my girlfriend coming to the island and having a delightful and informatitve host to a nice tour.

We loved Byodo-In Temple, so relaxing there! The tour was great all around.

It was such an amazing experience. Our driver, Kimo, was magnificent! He had so many stories, so much knowledge of the island. He shared tips and places to eat. I tried them all and he was spot on! He kept us on schedule and was very helpful and entertaining. Very kind soul! The tour was worth every cent and more!! Don’t pass this up you will not regret it. lots to do. Every stop was fantastic. Enjoyed the history, the gift shops, the scenery and best of all the ambiance. The lunch at Fumi’s was delicious!! Mahalo!

Liz Our tour guide was awesome! Very knowledgeable and made the tour fun :)

I have 0 experience in riding horses, and this place just make my first horse ride amazing. Had little nerves before riding it, and soon I got on its back; I feel comfortable and relaxed. Horses are well trained and in good behavior all the time. The guild is friendly as well. She introduced lots of things along the trip and taking care of each of the riders if they need help.
Overall, if you are first time riding the horse, you don't need to worry about it, it's 100% safe, and you will get relaxed after a couple of mins.

Lola was our guide. She was fabulous. We had just adopted our daughter - who happens to be named Lola, too.

The sights were perfect. Time at each perfect. I’d recommend highly.

Friendly Crew, Knowledgeable Caption, Clean boat!! We Felt safe!! We had a Blast, Sharks were Soo Amazing around people!! We can’t wait to do it Again!!!

We had an amazing day. The early hike beat the crowds of the park, and was perfect to catch the sunrise. Our tour guide was very timely, clean, and went above and beyond for our group. Highly recommend this tour!

We had such an awesome time and our guides were so nice and knowledgeable! There were about 14-16+ sharks when we went which was incredible. We highly recommend doing this at least once when you’re here.

Kioki (I hoped I’m spelling it right ) . Love him . His knowledgable about his job. His fun and understand the safety requirements about ATV. My husbands favorite excursion while traveling . We had a blast running through rugged terrain . He educated us about certain trees that can only be found in Hawaii . We will be back with our family soon. Thank you Kioki for a wonderful , exhilarating run through the forest ..❤️
