Oahu Island Experience Tour - North Shore, East Side, Dole Pineapple & More

Hang Loose, and slight disappointment

Reviewed by: Harriet

We joined the North Shore, Turtle Watch, Dole, and Macadamia Nut Farm tour, Stephanie was our guide and she kinda did things her way. It was nice she gave us several options to stop at beaches that weren’t necessarily on the list and she gave us suggestions on the food trucks to try at the old Sugar Plantation. But it was also a bit awkward when she will just talk about random things to fill the dead air, for instance she pointed out every passing McDonalds, Cheesecake Factory which I’m pretty sure isn’t particularly useful info to learn about Honolulu or the Hawaiian culture. But that’s neither here or there, the disappointment came to the Turtle Watch part, we just skipped it, she took us to the beaches where we’re supposed to find them, slowly drove and asked we saw anything (as the van was moving) then proceeded to concluded that there were probably none. After driving for at least another mile of the same slow drive and deduction, she asked if any of us was interested in going back to the first place where we thought there was something due to the crowds surrounding something and taking pictures, we didn’t saw anything yet, then she said if we did we would have to walk back one mile by ourselves, as traffic was bad and she wasn’t about to turn back.

Frankly, we joined the tour for the turtle Watch. To be just brushed off like that was disappointing and we felt a bit scammed,

Full Day Tour of North Shore & Waimea Valley Waterfall Swim - Go Tours Hawaii

A great full day bus tour that takes you around Oahu island.

Reviewed by: Lisa Tao

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 amazing, 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!

Tips and suggestions

Do this trip on your first day here.

Oahu Island Experience Tour - North Shore, East Side, Dole Pineapple & More

Great small group tour.

Reviewed by: Shane

Had a fantastic tour around the island. We had short stops at all the places of interest. The highlight of the day was seeing turtles coming out of the water onto the beach.
It was a very full day with lots to see and great it was a small group.
It would have been great to make a stop at Haleiwa as it looked interesting but we were running out of time.
Overall a fantastic day

North Shore Round-Trip Shuttle from Waikiki to Haleiwa Town

Masa Made Our Ride Unforgettable!

Reviewed by: KimBickel

We were picked up right on time from the Marriott Waikīkī, and the entire shuttle experience was absolutely top-notch. Our driver and guide, Masa, was a true delight—friendly, flexible, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. The shuttle itself was clean, smooth, and very comfortable, making for a relaxing ride.

What really made the experience stand out was Masa’s personal touch. He took the time to learn each of our names and offered outstanding tips and advice that really enriched our visit. It felt like more than just transportation—it was a warm, welcoming experience.

10 out of 10. I’d absolutely recommend this service and would happily ride with Masa again!

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, East Coast & Dole Plantation

A charming outlook of the East and the north shore of Oahu

Reviewed by: CCK

This is our third trips to Hawaii but is the first time to have a chance to see other beautiful beaches in Oahu in addition to the well known Waikiki beach. The hike in the Diamond Head was manageable but the view from the top was magnificent. With the driver John’s guide, we had the most spectacular experience in Oahu.

Tips and suggestions

The booking process is easy. Tour driver was very on time and helpful.

The Surf Bus North Shore Fun Tour - Snorkel, Bike, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Waterfall

Awesome Tour

Reviewed by: April

I wish I had done this tour earlier into my trip. We got to see the entire island. It was clear that our guide, Kevin was passionate and knowledgeable on the island's history and culture. Our group made a few stops additional to the two main activities. It was well worth the cost. As a solo traveller I had an amazing time on this excursion!

  • North shore waves

  • Fresh mango

  • Waimea falls

  • Views from the mac nut farm

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.

英語が苦手でもなんとかなりました(笑)

Reviewed by: Maki

目立つ小さなバスが集合場所まで出迎えてくれました。
ツアー客は総勢17人で、その中で日本人は3人だけ、全て英語での説明となります。
自己紹介タイムがあるので、どこから来たのか、ハワイは何回目か、このツアーに期待しているものなど簡単に英語で紹介する必要があります。
さて、現在は訂正されていますが、申し込んだ時のツアーコースはホノルルからハイレワタウンへ直行だったのが途中からコースから外れていたので心配しました。フリーウェイH1から途中H3に移り、東海岸のカネオヘを通過し海岸線を北上。映画のロケ地で有名なクアロア・ランチを通過後、トロピカルファームでトイレ休憩しました。ここではアカデミアナッツの試食ができ、また殻から石でナッツを取り出して食べる体験ができました。その後、フルーツスタンドで休憩した後、サンセットビーチに行きました。行ったのは11月で、サーファー達が高い波に挑戦していました。その後、午前のアクティビティが始まり、私達はワイメア滝公園での散歩を選択しました。公園へは入場料はツァー料に含まれ、ガイドが払ってくれました。滝までのコースは自然が豊かでのんびりと楽しむことができました。滝の水量は雨季だったので豊富で楽しめましたが、乾季は水量が少ないので行く日程によっては注意が必要です。滝壺近くで泳ぐこともできましたが、濁っていたので泳ぎませんでした。集合時間まで時間があったのでここでランチを済ませました。その後、ハレイワタウンに移動し、午後のアクティビティではSUP(スタンドアップパドル)に挑戦しました。場所はサーフ&シーという店の裏で、ライフジャケットは追加料金なしで利用できました。指導はツァーガイドが行い、簡単にボードに乗ることはできましたが、立ち上がるにはコツが要ります。ボードの上に座ったまま漕ぐこともできるので十分楽しめましたし、至近距離でウミガメに遭遇したのに感動しました。なお、貴重品ボックスと荷物を入れるロッカーは簡易なものだったので盗難を心配しましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。集合時間になったらバスに乗り、途中でトイレ休憩後、ホノルルまで送ってくれました。
日本語が通じないツアーだったので心配しましたが、親しみあるガイドと友好的なツアー仲間に助けられました。

Tips and suggestions

ワイメア滝は乾季に予約しないように
集合時間は忘れないようにガイドがメモしたものをスマホで撮って記録すること

Great time

Reviewed by: ThankfulG

There are a lot of circle tours to choose from, we picked this one to see turtles and have lunch at the food trucks on the North Shore. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and gave us as much or as little time at each stop as we wanted. Even our teen and pre-teen loved it, which is a huge endorsement! We all liked that it was a small group. The guide's microphone wasn't working at various points which was disappointing since we couldn't hear in back. This was a great way to spend our first full day on the island, it was a really good experience.

Load up at the macadamia nut farm! We loved the cinnamon nuts and they're only available at the farm

18 of our group of 24 went on this excursion. A few things- SAM was absolutely fantastic! So much knowledge- loved it! The fruit stand was awesome, the macadamia nuts stop was great, we were able to get great souvenirs at the best prices, treats, coffee- delish, bathrooms were clean and staff provided an excellent experience. We did the Waterfalls (definitely recommend) in the morning and had lunch at the cafe/bar there. Everything we ordered was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Then we did kayaking, SUP and some exploring aka shopping and tastes of local foods, LOL. So glad to have taken this excursion. Sam even had ice in the cooler.

Tips and suggestions

Check the weather and dress for your day! Bring a change of clothes and a towel. Enjoy!

  • Chinaman’s Hat- roadside view

  • At the falls

  • Stopped to Shop! Great finds!

  • Our family and friends at the waterfalls!
