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

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

A poignant experience

Reviewed by: Tony

Visiting a place where a family member once served and where so many paid the ultimate price was an emotional experience we will never forget. The tour of the the submarine "Bowfin" was especially interesting, and the Arizona Memorial was a moving esperience. Everyone should visit this place at least once.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Linda

Having lived on Oahu for 5.5 years in the 50s, my sister and I were anxious to visit old haunts, outside the Waikiki area and this tour certainy accomplished that for us. Our guide, Greg, went above and beyond the list of attractions/sights we were scheduled to see and had such a breadth of knowledge about the islands' history, culture and general Hawaiian topics that we came away from the tour much more informed than when we started it. He was witty, caring and very dedicated to his job, making all his passengers feel very special for a day.

From giving us hints about how to get the best seats on the boat for the Arizona Memorial in the morning until the time he dropped us off - exhausted - at the end of the day, touring with Greg was like being part of an extended family.

If there were more than 5 stars, this tour and the guide would get them. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - on the first day of our 10-day trip - and set the standard by which we judged the others we took

Tours are only as good as it's tour guides and Kenn was good. Travelling with 3 generations of women, I was able to sit back, relax and let Kenn do his magic. A Morgan Freeman like masterpiece, The women, mother, wife and niece, were bringing up his name long after the tour ended. The 11 hours passed by quickly. Well worth the money. Mahalo

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!

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

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.

The family really enjoyed this tour. It was very informative and gave you lots of information regarding the Island, we got to see all of the major points interested, and our tour guide Dennis L. also made the trip fun. The Pearl Harbor tour took your breath away, it really made you value the sacrifice our military, air force, and navy gave to keep our country free.

We had only one day to see O'ahu...and this tour was perfect! Dennis was a very entertaining, informative, and patient tour guide. We would recommend this tour to families with older children and couples especially. We also appreciated that this tour was for site seeing, and not a shopping trap.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Awesome Tour - Best on the island!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was the absolute BEST thing we did to get to know the island. Hana is the absolute BEST tour guide EVER! There is no doubt that Pearl Harbor and the Arizona is awesome - moving, and just "wow", a time for reflection...yet just the beginning.
A tour through the island was indeed the best way to go. Everyone must experience a Dole whip. And bring some note paper with you so you can write down the specific beach you want to spend more time at. We rented a car the next day to retrace our steps and stay longer at specific places of interest to us. This tour is a MUST DO, and I hope you will be as lucky as we were to have Hana. He can answer any question you have about the islands!! And he made the day (which you think 11 hours would be long...) fly by fast!
Thank you Hana!!!!

Pearl Harbor Tour

Reviewed by: ceannaire

This was one of my daughters favorite parts of our vacation. That is a tough sell for a 14 year old. Pearl Harbor was great. I wish we would of stayed at the Dole Pineapple Planation longer. It was great to have someone drive you around the island and inform you with so much knowledge you would not know otherwise. Door to door transportaion was great since we didn't rent a car on Oahu. The tour wants me to come back to Oahu for more.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Well worth the time!

Reviewed by: Deb, Illinois

One of the first things I wanted to do when I reached Hawaii was to tour the island to see what it has to offer. This is definitely worth the time. 11 hours on a tour seems like a lot, but there were many 'drive-by' items that would have been fun to stop at and take pictures such as the TV filming areas. Our professional guide, Jonathan, was the best! His knowledge of the island, special tips and eating recommondations, and humor made the tour pass quickly. This tour gave my family a taste of options for us to do on our vacation. LOVED IT!!!

On a side note, I would recommond to anyone that rides a bus in Hawaii to take a light jacket or sweater because the AC is on and the buses do get chilly.

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.

Oahu Circle Island Tour

Reviewed by: 20th Anniversary

Five Star all around. Dennis was brimming with knowledge and provided much entertainment for the entire tour. Tour was whole day but worth it. Being in a small coach was immeasurably better than a large coach. Plenty of stops and time at each stop. A great way to drive and see whole Island to plan where you might want to rent a car and go back to. For limited time visitors this tour takes you everywhere and can provide you with the information and taste of Oahu. It made seeing Pearl Harbor the easiest way to attend without having to stand on forever lines for a ticket. Visits to Dole, Mac Nut and Coffee, provided many free samples to decide flavors and excellent prices to buy those gifts for home. We even got great cheap T-shirts at the Sunset Beach. Sightseeing, History and Shopping all in one package! Leave the driving to those that know the Island and enjoy a fun day.

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.

The 6 of us were in Hawaii at Christmas 2009. Our ages ranged from 60 down to 5. We enjoyed this tour & "owboy" was great. He was so knowledgable & definetly had a sense of humor.

We were taken to many great places all around the island. It was nice to be able to get out of the vehicle to actually stand on the beaches & get wet. The Mac Nut Farm had free tasting. YUM... We witnessed a pineapple carving at the Dole Plantation. We saw new pineapple fields & a religious shrine area. The tops of the cliffs gave us awesome sights. We even saw some whales playing out in the ocean along with watching the blow hole. Cowboy even gave my grandaughters some very cute young coconut souveniors that he picked up & made faces/heads out of. He explained many different features of the islands including a lot of history to help us understa

I have always had great respect and admirsation for the men and women of our armed forces, but attending the tour of Pearl Harbor increased that exponentially. I had tears in my eyes at the USS Arizona Memorial. The aren't words to describe the experience of learning what happening to all of those men on December 7, 1941. After we left the memorial we went on the Circle Island tour. As a first time visitor to Hawaii, I was in awe of the beauty this island possesses. The staff on the tour was great! Kanoelani and Ken were amazing, insightful, friendly, and very informative. They made a GREAT tour spectactular!!!

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.

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