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.

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!

Our three guides (Liz, Carter, and Kiki- may be wrong about the names, sorry) gave us an amazing experience and were so fun! I felt safe the entire time and felt confident by the end to go upside down. I ziplined side by side with my husband and loved every minute! The views are absolutely breathtaking! If you're an adrenaline junkie, this is an absolute must! If you're not, I would still recommend this to try something new, exciting, and maybe even conquer a fear!

We had an outstanding experience! The captain and co-captain were friendly and professional. We arrived at the cage and returned to our destination safely. We were fortunate to see a few sharks. I thought I might get seasick but to my surprise I did not. I think it was because my grandson and I ate a bland meal beforehand and do not drink coffee. Unfortunately, two of the passengers did get sick and went palu in the cage! Auwe! Overall a great experience and we'd do it again.

8 ziplines, 2 rappels, and 3 sky bridges. This course has the longest zipline on Oahu with one of the zips being 1/2 mile long. I loved having ocean views throughout the ziplining experience. There were water stations throughout the course. We did the afternoon zipline and I'm so glad I wore plenty of sunscreen! Prepare to work up a sweat as you go throughout the course. There's stairs for some of the zipline platforms. Overall, really nice ocean views, friendly staff & had a blast!

It started with a great day, very little wind which made the water very calm. Boat rode out was smooth, and finally arriving to the cage we were immediately greeted with sharks, and not just any sharks but 3 TIGER SHARKS!!. I know that TIGERS are rare for the area but the fact that 3 were there for the entire dive was amazing. The crew were awesome in ensuring that everyone was calm and answered any questions. I definitely recommend and would love to dive again

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.

The crew was wonderful! We saw dolphins on the way out there which was a nice addition to the shark tour. When we got out to the cage we were met by about 8 sharks that stuck around the entire time we were in the cage. When we were about to leave we were able to get back into the cage because a tiger shark had approached so we got a look at her for a bit.

We participated as a group of four. When we arrived at the reception, we were shocked to find that there was no reservation under our name. Upon investigation, we discovered that although we had received a confirmation email, our reservation had somehow been changed the day before, and the day of the event was fully booked. Initially, we were told that we could not participate.
However, they made various adjustments for us and created a private group for just the four of us, resulting in a very enjoyable experience with three instructors dedicated to us. It was our first time zip-lining, but there was no fear, and including the trial run, we enjoyed eight lines so much that we lost track of time.
Please note that the instructions were given in quite fast English. We had someone in our group who was fluent in English, so it wasn't a problem for us, but there are a few points to be aware of:
- Each time, you start by standing on a small platform while the instructor prepares you.
- Do not touch the wire.
- At one point, just before the finish, if you feel like you are about to stop, grab the red rope at the instructor's signal (grabbing it beforehand will activate the brake).
4名で参加しました。受付にいくとまさかの予約がないという状況でした。
調べていただいたら、事前確認メールもきていたのになぜか前日に変更されており、もう当日は予約でいっぱい。最初はもうできないと言われました。
しかしながら、色々と調整してくれて、我々4人だけのグループを組んでくれて、結果インストラクター3名を独占する形でとても楽しい経験ができました。
ジップラインは初めてでしたが、怖さもなくトライアルの1本含めて8本時間が経つのを忘れるぐらい楽しめました。
なお、英語はかなり早く、我々は同伴者に英語が堪能な人がいたので問題なかったですが、いくつか気を付ける点があるのでご注意ください。
・毎回最初に小さい台の上に乗ってインストラクターに準備してもらう
・ワイヤーはさわならい
・途中からですが、ゴール直前で止まりそうになったら、インストラクターの合図で赤いロープをつかむ(その前につかむとブレーキかかってしまう)

We enjoyed this so much. It took a couple hours to calm down from the excitement of being so close to majestic sharks. Our guides were so friendly and provided a lot of information and guidance. We felt very safe during the entire experience. We also had enough time to enjoy the sharks and it never felt rushed. We saw about 10 sharks that swam calmly around the cage. We were lucky to see some dolphins on the trip back too!

Our guide was the nicest and most welcoming guide with a good sense of humor. He also took so many photos and videos of us along the way and AirDropped them to us afterwards without anyone even asking him too. Also the ATV riding was awesome and everybody needs to make sure they take a turn to drive. Just don’t be like my wife and wear a white tee if you ever expect to wear it white again as the red dirt will do a number on it. 100% we will be doing this again next time we are in Hawaii and will recommend this to everyone.

I participated in a tour with seven zip lines. There were seven lines ranging from shorter ones to the longest one on Oahu, and there were activities other than zip lining along the way, so I never got bored. Both adults and children can enjoy it thoroughly.
Along the way, there was cold water provided in disposable paper cups, which was very appreciated. The scenery was also wonderful, and I definitely want to participate again.
ジップライン7本のツアーに参加しました。短めのものからオアフ島最長のものまで7本で、途中にジップライン以外のアクティビティもあって飽きることがありませんでした。大人も子供も十分に楽しめます。
途中に冷たいお水が使い捨ての紙カップと一緒に置いてあり、これがとってもありがたかったです。景色も素晴らしく、また是非参加したいです。
