Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

A Hawaii "must do"!

Reviewed by: Stan C

A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.

The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!

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

Decent tour

Reviewed by: Kml

A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Disappointed for sure!

Reviewed by: Dan

I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.

Hi Dan,

We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:

1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.

Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.

In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.

With Aloha

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>

I had the best experience! 最高の体験ができました!

Reviewed by: なーこ

I was picked up in Waikiki, and the driver explained the history while we first went to the Dole Plantation! We stayed there for about 30 minutes, including a bathroom break, and then headed to the town of Haleiwa!

The location was absolutely amazing! I felt reassured because the horseback riding instructions were provided in Japanese on the bus beforehand.

Once we arrived, the staff were very attentive, checking in on us and asking if we were okay, which made them friendly and approachable.

I've had a few horseback riding experiences before, but if I come back to Hawaii, I would definitely want to book here again!

ワイキキでピックアップしてもらい、運転手さんに歴史等説明してもらいながらまずドールハウスへ行きました!そこでトイレ休憩含め30分程滞在し、いよいよハレイワの街へ!
とにかくロケーションが最高でした!乗馬の説明も事前にバス内で日本語でしてもらえたので何より安心でした!
現地に着いてからもスタッフさんがよく説明とこちらの様子を伺い、大丈夫?と声をかけてもらったり、フレンドリーで親しみやすかったです。
乗馬体験は数回したことがありますが、またハワイに来たらこちらで予約したいです!

UTV ride at Gunstock Ranch

Reviewed by: Guys trip

We had a blast with Morgan driving use around the 900+ acre Gunstock Ranch we saw a see cave, a WWII pill box, beautiful views of the North shore and the East side of the island. Lunch was at a peaceful shaded area on top of the ranch. And we had to try out the tree swing. Did I mention that almost all of the ranch hands are beautiful women. Thank you Gunstock we had a great time.

Great day with the fam!

Reviewed by: Adam

I took my wife and 3 kids on this ATV tour. Keoki was our tour guide, and he did such a good job. What I really liked most about the tour were the different terrains we got to ride through. Keoki got everyone properly prepared for some of the thrills we'd encounter, and the kids weren't scared at all.
Overall, the kids rated it as their favorite day of our 10-day vacation.
Highly recommend!

Awesome trip!

This was an amazing trip and we had a wonderful guide Jo-jo who was super knowledgeable about all aspects of hawaii cultural, history, plants, food, birds etc...The bus was nice and air conditioned and the time stopping off at each location was just right. An 11 hour day is a long day but it didn't feel like it because we were so loving every step of the trip and jojo's stories and support was great!

Horseback riding on the North Shore. ノースショアで乗馬

Reviewed by: KOU

During the drive, I found it fascinating to hear about the origins of Hawaii and current stories from the guide in Japanese. The Dole Plantation was also a perfect spot for a restroom break and souvenir shopping. The main horseback riding was guided by a kind elderly couple who owned the ranch, and it was enjoyable to ride through the forest course. Having only six people in the group made it relaxing and fun. It was my first time horseback riding, but it felt similar to walking a dog, and I was able to control the horse well. In Haleiwa, I tried the garlic shrimp that the guide recommended, and it was the best I've ever had. On the way back, I fell asleep and we quickly arrived in Waikiki. I'm glad I experienced this tour.

ドライブ中はガイドさんから、日本語でハワイの起源とか現在の話が聞けて興味深かった。
また、ドールプランテーションも丁度良いトイレ休憩とお土産購入になった。
メインの乗馬も牧場主の優しい老夫婦の案内で林間コースを回った。
人数が6人と少なかったのが良かったのか、のんびりして楽しかった。
乗馬は初めてだったが、犬の散歩と似ていてコントロールでき、良い子だった。
ハレイワでは、ガイドさんが教えてくれたガーリックシュリンプを食べたが、今までで一番美味しかった。
帰りは、寝てあっという間にワイキキに着いた。
このツアーは体験して良かった。

Reviewed by: Sydney

My boyfriend and I booked this ATV tour with the intention of just having fun and getting dirty, but it turned out to be so much more than that! Our tour guide, Kioke, was exceptional! He has such a welcoming demeanor and made our trip so much fun! He was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and how the lands came about. We truly think he's a natural when it comes to his line of work! We really enjoyed every minute of our trip and were excited to hear of different types of tours that could be added in the future! If we come back to Oahu, we will make sure to come visit Kioke on the north shore again!

MUST do this!

Reviewed by: Anna and Jessica

First off, I go to Hawaii all the time and only book these tours to get my hands on the ATV!. They are always nice but this one was OUTSTANDING! And the guide is the entire reason why. He was so fun and knowledgeable and super engaging. He had us dying of laughter the whole time and smiling from ear to ear. The tour itself had a lot of cool info but I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much had we not had the guide we did (short Filipino dude ;)! The ATVs were so rad as well and the route we went on allowed for us to get down and dirty with the ATVs which I loved! This one was worth it! I’ll be booking again just to hang with the guide!

The activity claims to stop at all island tour locations before being dropped off at the the Polynesian Cultural Center, however, the tour does not include 5 of the advertised stops; Diamond Head and Black Point Lookout, Hanauma Bay Lookout, Dole Plantation, all the north shore beaches and the Laie Hawaii Temple. Also, the driver rushes the crowd and threatens to leave within 10 minutes on each stop. Very disappointed with this activity.

What a great way to do something different on Oahu.
Horseback riding is also available, but we chose the UTV tour of this ranch, as we are UTV people.
Got to explore this 1000 acre ranch near the North Shore.
Picked fresh fruit, fed cows, had a nice brown bag lunch on top of the hill, with outstanding views below of the ranch, to the ocean.
Go slow, or rip through the ranch, you choose.
Super fun way to do non-beach activities and absolutely loved it!
Would visit again.
