Kanako and Kelaさん、
ありがとうございました。
最初から最後まで本当に退屈しませんでした。お二人のトークには盛りだくさんの情報がつまっており、終始楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
朝は、マラサダ、昼食は、以前から食べたかったFUMISのガーリックシュリンプ、伝統食のポイや地元の果物屋さん、名所ではチャイナマンズハット、ハロナ潮吹き岩などなど・・・。
暫しバスに揺られながら外の景色を眺めていると突然停車。砂浜には太い流木のような物が・・・。よく見てみると、なっ、なっ、なんとハワイアンモンクシールが横たわっているではありませんか。ホヌはよく見かけるのですが、ハワイアンモンクシールに出会えるとは、なんと幸運なことでしょう。このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。
最後は、ポハクラナイ(Pohaku Lanai)です。ここは私にとっていろいろな意味で絶対外せない場所です。立ち寄っていただき本当に感謝しています。
このようにこのツアーは内容が盛りだくさん、お二人のトークも盛りだくさんでした。次回もこのツアーに絶対参加しようと予定に入れています。
Kanako and Kelaさん、その時にまたお会いしましょう。

Thanks Joe!!!
Joe very friendly and informative as he took us all around the island to many of the landmark spots. Joe shared stories of growing up on the island throughout many of the areas. Joe took care of us by making several stops for personal needs and to visit highlighted areas. Aloha and Mahalo !!!

Jose was a wonderful tour guide. He shared lots interesting history and facts about Hawaii. He was prepared with alternative options when the surf was too high to snorkel safely and made sure we still had a great time. Highly recommend!

オアフの東先端と北先端までざっくり回るツアーで自分ではなかなか行けれない所に連れて行ってもらいました。またガイドのビリーさんが日本語が堪能でとても面白く、いろいろ気遣いもしてくれて最高に楽しい1日になりました。

Our tour guide was very accomodating and had lots of helpful hints.
Have breakfast before starting, because the Diamond Head hike isn't a leisurely stroll in the park... you're going uphill a long way and it'll make you sweat!
Bringing a flashlight would be a good idea, because the majority of the hike is on an unpaved and and sometimes uneven path. Which can be a problem for a pre-dawn hike.
We didn't exactly get to see the sun rise per se. We arrived at the top in plenty of time, there were some clouds on the horizon.
Go inside the bunker, all the way to the back, to access the spiral interior staircase to complete the pathway loop. Seems like a lot of people aren't aware that they need to go into the bunker to do that.
I'd recommend having at least $30 per person in cold hard cash on hand, to pay for lunch etc.
If you don't wear sneakers, you could have a little trouble walking over seaside areas with sharp lava rock...

Rob was a very informative tour guide who provided a history lesson and some current events of the islands. He even pointed out places to stand for some of the stop points and what to look for. There were beautiful views and delicious food.

My husband and I booked this tour as we wanted a smaller and intimate compared a large circle Island tour.
Jose was an excellent guide and taught us a lot about Hawaiian culture and history of the islands. He really gave us an authentic experience. My husband loved hearing about how Jose spearfished and hunted and shared his catches with friends and family as is Hawaiian tradition.
Jose went out of his way to bring us to extra lookouts outside of what this tour package included and wanted to give us the best experience of Hawaii. We loved seeing the lookouts on the south and in the mountains that gave us a spectacular views of Oahu. It gave us a good taste of everything so we could spend more time in each location like Kualoa Ranch in the future if we wanted to to.
He also showed what a caring guide he was as we had a pregnant lady in our tour group, always checking up on her wellbeing and being considerate to check if any stops were needed for her.

My husband and I took the North Shore Tour hoping to get a bit of everything - activities, beach, relaxation and fun. We got what we wanted and more. We had Cousin G who made everyone feel comfortable and entertained, and made the tour engaging and funny.
The tour had a good balance of free/activity time and many choices to choose from. We did the waterfall and kayaking option and was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
We also got the chance to sight see the east and north side of Oahu and had many stops for photos and breaks.
We felt like we got our moneys worth from this trip and got to see and do a lot on the island in just a 8am - 5pm timeframe.

It was a wonderful day that we felt sorry when we were back to our hotels. Our guide was amazing. He was wonderful storyteller. We enjoyed every moment. We saw breathtaking views, ate the tastiest shrimps ever. We also enjoyed the best Dole Whip from plantation center.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we will be sure to forward them to your guide too! : ))) Mahalo Nui Loa Cecilia

Uncle Kevin was a great guide, the whole group was nice and we spent more time together than expected.
The activities were so/so - and quite short for some. Also Turtle beach stop was cancelled while other stops (unplanned) took a while.
We saw a lot and learned about Hawaiian culture and life.
4 star for the tour 5 star for the guide

The list of places to visit is nicely curated and I think we had enough time to walk around each site, take photos, and even buy souvenirs. Our guide, Jojo, was fantastic. He had too many stories to tell to keep us entertained and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii's culture, history, and ecology.
The only downside of this tour was that you are on a large bus so, if you are picked up last and have a seat at the back of the bus, you're going to spend a lot of time going on and off. However, Jojo knew that this might be frustrating and started counting time right after the last person was out.
The bus was clean and the lunch was ok.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we will be sure to forward them to your guide... : )))

Greg is the best tour guide we have ever had on a tour. He was so knowledgeable and funny. He went out of his way to make our tour so great. He also ensured that my daughter had a shrimp plate that responded to her food allergies.
Hi Gilles,
Thanks! for giving Gregg and our Ultimate Circle Island with Waimea Waterfall Adventure 5 stars:)
Everyone at Oahu Nature Tours is grateful that we can provide excellent tours for guests like you.

This was a very enjoyable experience of the North shore. It was filled with fun activities, excellent food, and good shopping. Uncle Kevin was a perfect host and tour guide, and the trip would not have been the same without him. Very wonderful experience!

The tour was great. Our tour guy Big Tony made it exceptionally great. He was fun and very informative. He made us feel welcomed and was very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the island. He made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to even take pictures for us. I would definitely recommend this tour and hopefully you get Big Tony.

You have to get up to the NS if you are on Oahu, and this was an easy way to do it! You get time to explore Haleiwa, while seeing all the beautiful NS beaches!

Well, we didn't start off on time due to an unavoidable traffic issue. Once Juicy showed up the trip began and he kept us rolling in the aisles with funny stories and excellent information about the sights. Did I mention that Juicy made up for arriving late? Each stop was awesome and he went out of his way to make it just that much more special. The lunch was some yet delicious. I feel bad because I actually forgot his real name. The only name we got familiar with was Juicy. What a sweet and funny man. I really connected with him. Glad we took this tour.

東〜北を効率よく巡れるツアーです。ランチやおやつも込みの料金なのでコスパ◎です!料金で選んだので英語ツアーでも仕方ないと思っていましたが、ガイドさんは日本語がとても上手で重要なところは日本語で解説してくれました。英語だけでは理解出来なかった部分も多かったのでとてもありがたかったです。参加者の中に3回目だという家族がいました。それも頷けるほど中身の濃いツアーだし、おすすめです!

The tour guide also driver did a very goog job of explainingn the sights during the day. He kept on schedule and went out of his way to make it a pleasant experience. We did encounter rain up in the mounains and at the falls and Dole Plantation, otherwise all was good. Would recommend it to others.

Having only 8 on the tour was perfect size for us. John our driver was so good. Knew a lot about the island, was friendly and made everyone so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our day out and would definitely recommend. Thank you John.

Surf bus instructor, Kevin was very informative- he gave us info to places that we must see and foods/places to eat at.
Enjoyed snorkeling wish we would of seen turtles though. Kayaking time was limited we had to go back to the bus to head back to Waikiki. We did get to visit the small towns on our way to North Shore that grows fresh vegetable and fruits, I think the two stops caused us to use up time on the water activities.

I had an AMAZING time on this island food tour! I’m so glad I chose this tour since we had a small group of 5 and had a blast. Jackson was a GREAT tour guide-very funny, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He told us lots of stories about the stops we visited, local background information, and gave good restaurant recommendations. Best stops were the macadamia nut farm and Fumi’s shrimp truck. I only wish we had made extra stops for musubi, poke, or Ted’s Bakery but overall I enjoyed myself and I wasn’t too full. I recommend this tour if you're looking to visit the North Shore and sample yummy food along the way. Thank you Jackson for a WONDERFUL day trip :)

We started our trip in this fantastic, beautiful bus. Our driver Kalani was the most knowledgeable and personable guide we could ever want. He knew all about the sites. The history, the traditions, and the Hawaiian language for everything. He also knew how to keep us on a schedule but with plenty of time to enjoy each stop. I can’t express how much more having him for a guide made a difference but wouldn’t want anyone else and you will be lucky if you get Kalani.

We had a fantastic day on our tour. It just so happened that me and my daughter were the only people signed up on the day of our tour. Our guide Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, fun loving and easy going with her knowledge of the island. We started at the Halona blowhole and found out the beach nearby was used in the movie “From Here to Eternity”. Lunch at the Kahuku Sugar Mill with a smorgasbord of food trucks should be able to satisfy any hunger. The recommendation of Giovanni’s for garlic prawns by Stephanie was spot on, they were delicious.
With great anticipation of seeing turtles on the sand at Haleiwa Beach Park we were slightly disappointed. It was great we were able to see them in the water occasionally bobbing their heads up for air.
The last stop at Dole Plantation was great, it is where we tasted our first Dole Whip which was absolutely delicious.
I would recommend this tour to give you a better idea about the Oahu Island and the different experiences available to you.
Hello Zeljko,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a good time with Stephanie on the tour. It was lucky that it was just the two of you on the tour. Sorry to hear the disappointment of the sea turtles. They are there sometimes and sometimes there are not. But we are glad to got to see a lot of things on Oahu. We hoped you enjoyed your time in Hawaii and thank you again for your review and booking our tour.

This was an all day tour and we’ll worth doing the deluxe package. Wes was our driver. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Even though it rained we still got to see sights from the bus! Polynesian culture center was outstanding. I thought I was getting luau but it was a buffet. But the Breath of Life show was worth the whole day!! Outstanding!!!! Highly recommend adding this to your package!

Hello J.L,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a had a good time with John. The weather in December is really like our rainy season so it has been very cloudy recently in the early mornings. Sneakers are definitely recommended especially for the hiking part. But we are glad you had a good time on the tour and we hope you enjoyed your entire stay in Hawaii.
