Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Guide

Reviewed by: Kristen Olthuis

My husband and I were disappointed with the tour guide. We felt he had a attitude about him and really didn't want to be there. At times we thought he was being rude in his manor and attitude. We went on another tour and the guide was so different and really acted like he wanted to be there. It made a big difference on the tour and made it much more enjoyable. The tour itself was great, but it could of been a lot nicer if the guide was more interested in the people on his bus and what he was doing.

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Grand Circle Island

Reviewed by: Susie Pena

The tour was fantastic! Our driver, Ben, was awesome and so informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and learned so much about the Island that we would not have had we driven ourselves. Especially because it was our first tour of the Island, it was totally worth it! Relaxing, beautiful and fun. Kudos to Ben!! Highly recommend it!!

Great tour from our tour guide Ed. You get a good overall view of most of the island. Some of the stops were a little short, but overall an enjoyable day.

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Beautiful, but probably could have done it on our own

Reviewed by: Candice

After spending the first couple of days in Hawaii walking everywhere, it was nice to sit and relax in the tour van and watch the island slide by out the windows. The hike through Wiamea Valley to the falls was beautiful, although I wish more plants and flowers had been in bloom. Lunch was awesome. This tour is alright, but we could easily have seen everything on our own with a car rental.

Reply from activity provider

You can do anything on your own if that's what you want to do. But then you would have had to drive for 8 hours (paying close attention to the worst traffic in the nation), instead of enjoying the views and just relax. You would have had to rent a car for the whole day, you would have had to pay your own entry fees to the visited locations, you would have had to pay for your own lunch at Fumis and stand in line for it yourself instead of being served, you would have had to buy a guide book and study it to know where to go, you would have had to have someone read out aloud all the interesting facts about our islands natural history, just like our trained guide did for you for 8 hrs. We agree with you that the tour is beautiful and awesome. Plus, we fully delivered what we promised and if you add up all these extra expenses and inconvenience you would have had to encounter had you chosen to drive yourself, you would have lost money and comfort instead of gaining. Aloha!

Reviewed by: J&K

The tour was good. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We basically saw the whole island in one day so it was long day but worth it. Bring plenty of water to keep hydrated!!!!! The only negative was that our driver was 30 minutes late picking us up but other than that it was cool.

North Shore Beach Adventure

Reviewed by: Betty

This was a great tour. Our tour guy, I believe his name is Sam was very helpful and funny. Sam was also very knowledgeable and he made the tour a memorable experience for us. We like the fact that we get to plan out our activities and get to see couple places at North Shore. The only suggestion that we think can improve for the tour is the activities in the afternoon. There wasn't a lot of options in the afternoon activities like in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Very Moving

Reviewed by: JS15

Hard to describe the emotions one feels when visiting the Memorial. It is beautiful yet gut wrenching to know you are standing above the sunken Arizona where so many met their demise. One definitely receives an education about a terrible moment in our history. The Volunteers and Veterans were wonderful in explaining the details of such a long ago time. We also had the good luck to meet a survivor. This tour is a must see.

This was a great and informative guide. Our tour guide knew more about the island then I ever did. Kids got tired on bus so they fell asleep near the end. I was very happy and enjoyed it very much.recommend to bring something for small children to snack on and drink aswell as somwthing to do while on the bus. Over great time.

This is a must do. Very fun, SOOO much stuff to do. You will not be able to do everything so look through your map and do the stuff you want to do. They do allow you to go back to the park for free for the next 3 days (just don't get to watch the show or eat) to do the other activities if you have time.

Best Island Must see

Reviewed by: Arnold

When visiting the Island of O'ahu it makes so much like right to know about the Island you chose. This tour has to be at the Top of your list. You see the Island + Dole Pineapple Plantation + Kualoa Ranch where there are movie sets + horseback riding + ATV tours. My group thanked me for this tour again and again and some went back to take train ride and do Maze at the Pineapple tour.

I so so so recommend the Surf Bus!! It was one of the best ways to see and experience North Shore! The driver was the best! He have great information and was so funny!! The paddle board was amazing, waterfall beautiful and the beach with snorkeling just awesome!! I recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a little hard on your feet...(waterfall and snorkeling areas) Hands down best your we took!

Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets

The PCC was great, the tour was so-so

Reviewed by: Ultrasonics21

The circle island tour seemed rushed and we didn't stop anywhere once we passed the Dole Plantation. We basically cruised passed all the beaches on the north shore. Diamondhead was looked at from the front side but nothing was really brought up about it. The things we saw were nice but I wish we would have had more time exploring them. Once we got to the PCC this were great. The performers were top notch and the show was very educational and entertaining. The food was excellent and non-stop. The half day at the PCC was more than enough to see everything I wanted to see. Once the tour guide picked us up, we heard a little too much about his personal life for the hour plus ride home. My recommendation is if you want to see the entire island for a tour, don't include the PCC as a stop and just do it on another day.

Wow! what an entertainer Harry was & related so well to us being Aussies & accustomed to the surfing fraternity. We're recently retired & I was on crutches after an operation & nothing was too much trouble. He made special trip in between activities to come & pick me up from Waimea Falls to save me walking. We couldn't praise him enough. Go Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful insight into life on the North Shore of Oahu.
