Oahu
Went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We were in Oahu for 2 days at the tail end of our trip. This tour was perfect for what we wanted to accomplish on our last day. The tour lasted roughly 4 hours and we had full transportation to the hiking sites, plus entry fee for Diamond Head. We were able to see the sunrise at Diamond Head which was a once in a lifetime experience!
Definitely recommend this tour for those who want to hike solo, but need the transportation.
This was our first activity in Hawaii and I am so happy it was. Cousin G was knowledgeable, fun and funny! Great tour and highly recommend!
This adventure is perfect for lots of people. With the door to door transportation we did not have to worry about tickets or parking and the driver brought us Leonard’s famous Malasada donuts afterwards. The hike was doable for young and old and lots of picture points! I would definitely recommend it!
My husband and I did the 6am tour so we can catch the sunrise definitely recommend doing the early tour- it was amazing. I wish our tour guy would’ve provided flashlights or something it was pretty dark the for a good 30 min going up. Luckily our phones did the trick but it ate up our battery. Overall a beautiful experience
The tour of the North Shore was a wonderful way to see this iconic area. Our guide, Kevin, was a wealth of knowledge as he was born and raised in the area. We stopped at several locations to allow for sightseeing, shopping, eating and various activities. It was a day well spent.
KOA picked us up and was a very enjoyable and safe driver. We had a perfect sunny morning to hike and it was absolutely gorgeous! All of us in our group that hiked are in our 60’s and was not to difficult of a journey for us. The views on the way up and down were beautiful, but the views from the top were breathtaking! One of our favorite excursions while visiting the Hawaiian Islands.
There are Red, Green, Pink, Blue, and Purple options, but due to the year-end or perhaps the impact of COVID-19, currently only Red, Pink, and Blue are available. It's a strange conversion method where instead of being valid for four consecutive days from ticket exchange, you can use four days within a one-week period. The three lines mentioned above can take you to classic tourist spots and shopping centers, so I think it's great for first-time visitors to Hawaii. The vehicle is always ventilated with the windows open, and both the driver and ticket staff were friendly and nice.
レッド・グリーン・ピンク・ブルー・パープルとありますが、年末のせいかコロナの影響か、現在使えるのはレッドとピンクとブルーのみです。不思議な換算方法で、チケット引き換えから連続4日間ではなく、1週間の期限の中で4日分使えるというシステムとのこと。上記3ラインはオーソドックスな観光地やショッピングセンターは回れるので、初ハワイの方には良いかと思います。車内は常に窓を開けて換気対策をしていますし、運転手の方やチケット担当の方はみなフレンドリーで良かったです。
Dear Maimu,
Thank you very much for using the Waikiki Trolley. Currently, due to the impact of the coronavirus, we are operating only three lines, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our customers. We hope to restore the other lines as the situation in Hawaii changes. We look forward to your next visit.

この度はワイキキトロリー をご利用頂き誠にありがとうございました。
現在はコロナウイルスの影響により3ラインのみの運行となっておりましてお客様方には大変ご迷惑をおかけしております。
今後、ハワイの状況が変わり次第他のラインも復活させていきたいと思っております。
またのご利用をお待ちしております。
I had the best time!!! The staff was so friendly and nice and we even got a little special guitar performance on the way back to the island. The lunch was spectacular and if there are any leftovers, they will be given! But it is very filling! I can’t imagine what I’d do if I came to Hawaii and missed this tour! I wholeheartedly recommend this!!!
The greenery is the prettiest I’ve ever seen! Don’t focus on making it to the top and seeing the waterfall…the best part is the experience getting there!
Next time I'll bring a friend....best tour in Oahu
Cousin G was awesome! We had a great day. The morning activity we chose snorkeling. Unfortunately for others, the falls were closing on Monday’s starting THAT day due to covid restrictions, so everyone had to do snorkeling. Had some food from shrimp truck, it was okay. We stopped at a macadamia nut and coffee tasting place, that was really cool. We did kayaking for our afternoon activity- not a lot of shade so definitely bring sunscreen or wear a long sleeve top, we roasted on the river. Then we stopped in town. Was a great day on the north shore, thanks again cousin g!
I never write reviews, but figure I would with this because of how good the experience was. The driver was on time, communicative, helpful, and courteous. He even got out of the van to find me during the departure. And with that said, the van was clean and spacious. I'd definitely roll with this company again. Mahalo for a great experience!
north shore shuttle tour was totally awesome! The tour guide was so kind and nice. He explained about some tourist attractions as well as drived me to north shore. He drived me to famous valley and even food truck. So I could go some place I wanted easily.
I was really satisfied with this tour.
This was an amazing experience for our girls trip. If you are looking for fun activities that are self guided this is the tour for you. We did the snorkeling and paddle boarding both were extremely fun and we had plenty of time to do both. The price was great and included everything we needed. We got to see 2/3 of Oahu, which was beautiful. Our tour guide was Sam he was helpful and funny. Would recommend this tour/activity day to anyone!!
We are very happy to hear that you had an amazing trip! And that Sam was helpful and funny! We hope to see you again on the surf bus, the original north shore tour!
Cousin G was a wonderful driver and guide. He provided great local information and the activities were so fun that everyone was exhausted! This is a great addition to any first timer and well worth it!
Mahalo,

After my group was picked up another couple was picked up. I was disappointed because they were picked up across the street from the condo we were staying at. My group had to take a 15 minute walk to The pick up location that they told us. We could have slept in a little bit later and had breakfast. The ride to Diamondhead was simple and quick. Once you get to the location they do you have food trucks if you want to grab food or something to drink. As we were entering we were ask for tickets. Our driver did not give us the tickets to enter the hiking trail. We called the company no one answered and we did not have the phone number to the shuttle driver. The staff at Diamondhead did not want to let us in. however after taking sympathy on as they were nice and let us in. They could have said no and we would have to have sat in front of Diamondhead for 2 1/2. If you book with this company make sure your driver gives you your blue ticket for entry into the park.
After the hike it was a madhouse because the afternoon tours were coming in and the morning tours were going out. I received a phone call and it was a new shuttle driver who was supposed to take us to our original shuttle driver because he was caught in some type of traffic. It was a tight squeeze because this new shadow was much smaller than the ones that we came in on. The drive was really nice he gave us kind of like a sightseeing tour as we were going to the drop off location. We all get out and we’re kind of just standing around waiting. He tells us that the original shuttle driver is coming (he never showed). For people decided not to continue on with the second hike. So the shuttle driver said that instead of us waiting he could take us now because it was a smaller group. This isn’t their first time doing these tour so I would have expected things to run a lot smoother. I do recommend shopping around for different tour companies.
Great tour, our guide was friendly and professional.
First time taking the Surf Bus. Driver was on time. He was knowledgeable. Didn't like his attitude at first because he had a way of making you feel foolish but at the end, he turned out to be a nice guide. My family and I did the waterfall hike and kayaking. The waterfall hike was timed for three hours. It was a beautiful hike through Waimea Valley seeing tropical plants and birds. To my surprise, the waterfall was smaller than I thought. There were too many people swimming already and it was only 10am. My kids did not want to swim because of the amount of people in the water. Even after the hike, and the waterfall and even ate lunch at the cafe, three hours was too much. It could've been spent doing other activities. We went kayaking in the afternoon. My family enjoyed that even though we didn't see any turtles. We were disappointed that we couldn't walk to town and get shaved ice because the line was too long. All in all, my family had a decent time.
We had a patient driver. He was very nice. The ride was smooth too!
This was so much fun! We got to see part of the island. I got to SUP for the first time. Learned a lot while on the bus. The driver was telling us about the scenery and where certain movies were filmed.
Kevin made the entire trip outstanding. He was funny, on time, very knowledgeable, even though I've been to north shore before, this was the first time I felt like it was not only fun but informative. He was very accommodating. I am telling my friends and family to put this on their list . Thanks Uncle Kevin!!
Sam was our tour guide and did a great job. It was the perfect balance between plenty to do and downtime. We did the falls and then paddle boarding up the river, where we saw sea turtles. The entire day was perfect. I would highly recommend it.
Aloha Kellie, we're super stoked that you had a great time with Sam! He is truly a cool and informative tour guide! Mahalo and a Hui ho!
Talk about a workout! It was awesome and well worth it although I am still sore! The driver was punctual and hilarious! I would definitely do this tour again with this company and recommend it to anyone seeking a workout with breathtaking views!
Had a wonderful time w uncle Kevin!! He showed us a lot of places and haves the background story! Very knowledgeable and happy to share his experience and love for his Hawaiian culture.
Very good way to get to activities. Great sunrise hike up Diamondhead and the falls was one of our top favorite experiences while on the island. Drivers were friendly and very informative. Would highly recommend.
They picked us up by car in Waikiki and on the way to Haleiwa, we stopped by Dole, where we had the recommended garlic shrimp for lunch. After that, it was finally time for horseback riding! We experienced riding through the forest and along the coast from the golf course. I think it lasted about an hour, which was just right. On the way back, we also stopped at a coffee shop for a restroom break, and I was very satisfied. I would like to participate again.
ワイキキまで車で迎えに来てくれて、ハレイワまで行く途中に、ドールへ立ち寄り、ランチはお勧めのガーリックシュリンプを食べ、そのあと
いよいよ乗馬!ゴルフ場から森林を通り、海沿いを乗馬体験しました。1時間ぐらいだと思いますがちょうど良かったです。帰りも途中でコーヒーショップへ立ち寄りトイレ休憩があり、とても満足出来ました。また参加したいと思います。
Since I arranged my own flights and hotel, I couldn't ride on the so-called tour trolley.
However, I wanted to experience the trolley at least once, so I arranged this tour (ticket).
I thought it would be similar to a bus, but it was completely different. The Pink Line operates like a bus route that runs back and forth between Ala Moana and Waikiki, and it was convenient to use.
I rode the Green Line, Red Line, and Purple Line, but I only had a little time to get off. However, I was able to enjoy sightseeing from the window. I also enjoyed the driver's (guide's) entertaining stories.
航空券・ホテルと自己手配だったため、いわゆるツアーのトローリーに乗ることができませんでした。
ですが、一度はトローリーに乗ってみたいと思いこのツアー(チケット)を手配しました。
バスの代わり、くらいに考えていたのですが全然違いました。
ピンクラインはアラモアナ - ワイキキを往復するバスのような路線で、それはそれで便利に使えました。
グリーンライン・レッドライン・パープルラインに乗車しましたが、ほんの少しだけしか降りる時間がありませんが、車窓から十分に観光することができました。
ドライバー(ガイド)の楽しいお話も満喫できました。
The guide shared a lot of information about Hawaii during the drive, which was very educational! I learned many things I didn't know before, and I love Hawaii even more now. We also stopped at a macadamia nut farm, which wasn't part of the original plan, and I was able to buy delicious macadamia nuts! The horses were cute, and the scenery was great—just perfect! I've heard that there is less traffic on Sundays, so I recommend going then!
ガイドさんに車内でハワイの色々な情報を話して頂き、とても勉強になりました!
今まで知らなかった事を沢山知れて更にハワイが好きになりました^_^
帰りに予定にはなかったマカダミアナッツファームに寄って頂いて美味しいマカダミアナッツも買えました!
馬も可愛かったし景色も良くて最高!
日曜は渋滞が少ないらしいので日曜に行くのオススメです^_^
It felt like a tour with sightseeing in Haleiwa.
I had an early lunch of garlic shrimp in Haleiwa.
I didn't quite understand the guide's explanations at that time.
Even when I asked questions or made requests, the guide would say, "I told you that earlier!"
All the tour participants felt the same way.
The guide's inner voice came out loud.
The horseback riding by the beach was very enjoyable.
ハレイワ観光付きという感じでした。
ハレイワで早めの昼食ガ-リックシュリンプ。この時のガイドの説明よく分からない。
質問やお願いをするも、「だからさっき言ったでしょ‼」
ツア-参加者みな同じ気持ちになってしまいます。
心の声が口から出るガイドでした。
海辺乗馬はとても楽しめました。
Riding while watching the waves and surfers was really enjoyable. It was better than I expected. The horse wanted to eat grass all the time, which was a bit of a hassle, but I wished I could ride for a longer time.
海の波、サーファーを見ながらの乗馬は気持ち良かった。思った以上に良かった。
馬は草ばかり食べたがって困ったけど、
もっと長い時間乗りたかった。
