Reviewed by: Les Cord

Garfield was the best guide ever. He was so knowledgable and was really dedicated. Rain dampened some of the tour but was an exceptional day and experience.

Fun way to see what the island!

Very informative and great for the first time coming to Hawaii but it does not take you into Diamond Head, you just go around it!

I had a wonderful time and will recommend to anyone traveling to Oahu.

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

TOP OF THE LIST! Must Do!

Reviewed by: TheHills

We had a BALL with Henry (our tour guide) and ALL of the employees we came across was sooooo friendly, funny and quick with jokes! This is a MUST DO! in Hawaii and booking thru Hawaii activities was easy and they call to confirm my pick up time and gave all the details again. From the time we got on the bus it was laughter from Everyone! Polynesian CC was just way beyond our expectations - we could not get enough. By the end of the day we were pooped! If you really want to get your $$'s worth and see Hawaii for what it is...DO THIS TOUR! you will not regret it. (Then again who regret anything in Hawaii?) I say BIG THANKS! to Henry and Hawaii Activities!! Mahalo again!

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

Not a cater to you activity

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We thought we could hike to the waterfall and then go snorkeling. From what I had read that would be a possibility. Both were morning options. He parked centrally then we walked to meet him. For the price I should not have expected to be taken to each destination I suppose, but I did. Still we had a good time and swimming in the waterfall was GREAT

I have been to the North Shore before and enjoyed this trip the most. We enjoyed the Waimia Falls park more due to the guides suggestions. he was very knowledgeable and interesting. I especially enjoyed the turtles. I would recommend it for the young and hardy or an old folk like me. Great fun!

Awesome tour!

Reviewed by: Kathy Doucette

This tour was fantastic and was the second time we had taken it. The first time was five years ago and we took it again this time with a friend. She thought we would be bored but not at all as we learned even more about the island. Our driver grew up on the island and was able to tell us stories going back generations. This tour is a must see for anyone visiting the island! Aloha!

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

Good tour to join for 1 full day

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Overall the tour was very good with visits to many points of interest around Honolulu in the morning and then tour the PCC in the afternoon. Dinner was quite nice and the "breath of life" show as wonderful!

However, we wish that the driver would let us know that there would not be any time for lunch once inside the PCC as the activities inside the PCC would be jam packed. The bus driver should gave us 15 to 30 more minutes inside the Dole Plantation Center so that we could get a light lunch before we head off to the PCC.

Highly Recommended!

Reviewed by: Nat C

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!

Do not do this first

Reviewed by: Roy C.

We took the tour on the first day after arriving and it was too much too soon. I am sure we would have enjoyed it more had we been rested but we were worn out.

The tour does go to all of the spots but you get very little time at any of them and the stop at the Dole Plantation is not long enough to do much of anything.

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

Beautiful Beach on North Shore

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Beach on the North Shore tour was beautiful, very clean, and a refreshing change from Waikiki Beach. The waves were much stronger and had great surfing beaches along the way for those interested in that. Really enjoyed watching folks on that diving rock there. The ride was long, but the driver was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and relayed lots of information about Hawaii. The stroll through the small, older town with shops and eateries was unique. Loved the music provided by that musical family that lives there and entertains the tourists. A relief to see more enjoyable aspects of Oahu without the hassle of driving.

What a great day!

Reviewed by: Houston, TX

We did this "tour" on our second trip to Hawaii. It is a great opportunity to experience the North Shore on your own but still get the guided tour experience. This is a "tour" you could take multiple times and have a new experience every time. We loved the options and being able to choose our adventure once we got there.

Excellent way to see Oahu!

Reviewed by: Val

This was the best way for a first-timer to the island to visit all the high notes of the island. Our tour guide Garfield was great -- knowledgeable, courteous, and amusing. My boyfriend and I had driven around the island by ourselves the day before and it was nice to get the information on the places we had stopped at and seen, but didn't know about.

I would recommend this tour to anyone vacationing on Oahu for the first time.

Outstanding!

Reviewed by: Katie<3

We did this tour on our first day at Oahu, and it gave us an excellent introduction to the culture, landscapes, and lifestyles of Hawai'i. The tour was absolutely fantastic; we saw so many different and beautiful places without ever feeling rushed. Perhaps the best thing about the tour though was our guide Keau- he was so welcoming, funny, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this tour to all visitors to Hawai'i :)

Fun Time on Surf Bus

Reviewed by: Sandy

We had a great time on this tour. The group was small, so the guide could be flexible and give individual attention to each participant. There was a range of activities so you could choose how active you wanted to be. We did the Wailea Falls hike and stand-up paddling. We had lunch at the cafe at Wailea Falls, very good Hawaiian-style food. We were glad we paid the extra for an instructor on the paddling as it was challenging. I would only recommend doing it on your own if you are experienced. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning more about the North Shore.

We booked this tour on line before arriving in Waikiki. Wondered if we had made a mistake, but the tour was great. We were picked up on schedule exactly as promised. Our tour guide, Sam, was informative and knowledgeable about the island and the culture.

The best part of this tour is the choices! The next best thing is how much time you have on your own to enjoy the activity choices. Couldn't have been better. Absolutely loved it! Would go again.

Hello All!
My husband and I took this tour on Tuesday, Oct 6th, 2009. It was the best tour ever! North Shore is beautiful and absolutely amazing. We had one activity and rode a beach cruiser to all the beaches. We hung out at Waimea Beach and the waves were pretty insane. There was a surfing competition on the other beach. We saw sea turtles and that was a SIGHT! Our tour guide Sam is the definitely the coolest guide ever. We 100% recommend this activity to everyone. No joke. If you don't believe, you guys can contact us at mdot42@hotmail.com. =D

sea turtle was magical

Reviewed by: monica

The ride from Waikiki was long, but the driver entertained us with great facts. The hike to the waterfall was nice. Unfortunately there seemed to not be enough time to do two activities in the morning. We hiked back down to the beach and only had enough time to jump in the water before pick up. I missed jumping off the rocks:( The kayak was relaxing and provided us with a great tan!

Oahu Grand Circle Tour

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We enjoyed the Oahu Sightseeing Tour (Grand Circle Island Tour w/ Kualoa Ranch and Dole Pineapple Plantation). Our driver/tour guide "Napi" had so much information to share with us - he really made this trip interesting. I learned many things about the island that I would not have known about had we gone on this trip by ourselves in a rental car The price was reasonable and worth it. I recommend this to anyone coming to Oahu.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to Hawaii!! Our tour guide was super nice and very knowledgeable. We rode the beach cruiser and it was really nice to just ride along the beach, but you have to be careful as you do share the road with cars. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and spend the whole day at the North Shore. We had an awesome time and I cannot wait to do it again.
