Pali Lookout

I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazin... moreg, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!

Lola was an awesome driver & host. We had & very interesting, informative, & relaxing drive around the North Shore.

Tony took us around the island, pointing out major attractions and narrating the entire time. We learned interesting facts about Hawaiian culture and some about the myths and legends. I enjoyed my time in Haliewa and fin... moreally got to try Matsumoto's shave ice - definitely worth the hype! Had a great time and Tony was a very gracious host!

This tour was great. Clean, smooth bus. Great choice of places to stop but the highlight of the tour was our guide Lola. She was so knowledgeable sharing all sorts of Hawaiian history and interesting bits. She was caring... more, funny and a super good driver. We’re very glad we chose this tour and we recommend it.

My family and I had a great time during the tour and enjoyed all the places we visited, except the Dole plantation which we think they should take out of the tour and visit Haleiwa town instead.
Our guide, Kainoa, was fa... morentastic. He knows a lot about the history of Hawaii.

We went with this tour as not many stop inside the Valley! We really wanted this, so tying the tour togehter was a good way!
