Really enjoyed this tour! Lots to do, but nothing felt rushed. Highly recommend for adults and children.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour!
There was plenty packed into this all-day tour, but at no point did we feel rushed at all.

The Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay beaches were really nice. While you can’t swim in the Pipeline, you can take a dip in Waimea Bay. While we were there the waves did begin to have some heavy breaks. A lifeguard on duty suggested casual swimmers head to the right side of the beach which was a lot calmer.

The lunch at Tsue’s Farm included a meal and choice of can drink. There’s a fair few choices of meals for lunch, Kalua pork, coconut shrimp, garlic shrimp to name a few. These were pretty fresh and tasty. The kayaking on the Anahulu river isn’t too long but you can go up and back a few times if you feel like it. We went from one end to the other and back and that was plenty for us. It’s also very still waters and not really any obstacles or things like that to worry about.

As we’re big fans of Dole whip from our Disney World trip, we were very happy to see that this tour included a stop at the Dole Pineapple plantation.

Hanauma Bay was definitely the main highlight of the tour. As someone who is not a very good swimmer, the waters were perfect for me. At 5’6” the water at most only came up to my neck. Otherwise it was quite shallow around the edges. You don’t have to go far in to see plenty of fish. Although we didn’t get to meet a sea turtle, we did overhear others saying they saw them in the area.

Sonny and Paul were running our tour, both were very friendly and outstanding. Sonny had heaps of info, tips for every stop and was very knowledgeable. You could tell he was very passionate about his job and Honolulu, and even gave a brief run down of Hawaiian history which was great.
Paul was our driver, but would also come out and be more than happy to take photos for people and mind our belongings.

Overall this was probably one of the better tours we’ve been on. All of which was kid friendly. Highly recommend it.
