A wonderful way to see Oahu and North Shore. Uncle Kevin was our guide and made the trip memorable. Loved all the stories and location stops. Swimming in the waterfall was so special and we loved kayaking!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Cousin G. He’s very knowledgeable and we loved his humor. He was skillful at building rapport between the travelers, which made everyone feel welcome and created a fun atmosphere. It’s also an ideal tour because you get plenty of breakaway time to explore on your own. You get the benefit of learning about the sights and being in a group and also some independent time. It was impressive how Cousin G was able to organize us seamlessly into our choices of activities along the route, throughout the day.

I absolutely loved this tour! I chose Waimea Falls and the paddle boarding. Waimea was breathtakingly beautiful and I'm not even talking about the waterfall. Although it is stunning (take a bathing suit because the water is lovely), it was the botanical gardens that blew my mind. I highly recommend this activity. The paddle boarding is relaxing - a turtle swam underneath my board and there's plenty taking naps along the river banks for you to see. The drive up the coast is immaculate - the views and the plants, upon plants, upon trees, really is like something out of Moana!! We stopped off at the Macadamia nut farm for free coffee as well. The greatest thing about this tour was the history you learn from the tour guide. He tells many legends of how and why each mountain ridge has taken its shape. He also gives you an in-depth history of Hawaii. It's an entertaining, heartfelt insight into the local's culture, love, and respect for their island.
