Was hesitant at first, but glad we went! We were able to see and enjoy 3 different beaches and do some paddleboarding! One of the best parts was our tour guide Kevin Knapp. He entertained us with the history of Hawaii and was engaged with our party the whole time! Kevo and Kevin even gave us helpful tips on how not to spend more money than we needed to with surf lessons and place to eat! If this is your first time going to Oahu, I would recommend booking this tour! Do it in the beginning of your trip so you have time to go back to the cool place you visit!

When we met Kevo in Waikiki, we were skeptical. He was flogging brochures just off the beach on the main strip and stopped us to talk while we were on our way to rent a 3-wheeled scooter. We had been wanting to go to the north shore, but we already had a snorkeling tour booked for Christmas Eve. Somewhat reluctantly, we listened to his pitch while keeping an eye on the time (we had plans with our “Scoot Coupe” and didn’t want to be late). After hearing his pitch, we agreed that the bus was hitting a lot of the goals we had for our trip - primarily exploring the north shore, paddleboarding, and snorkeling. We decided to cancel our previously booked snorkel trip and give Kevo’s Beach Bus a chance. We’re so glad we did. Right from the first stop, Green World Coffee Farm, we knew this tour was different. It was designed to show off the version of Hawai’i that THEY loved. This was the version they wanted to share with their visitors. While many other tours pander to what they feel tourists want to see, we were going to get a dose of the REAL Hawai’i today. Our exuberant guide, Kevin, was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and his love for the islands showed. He continued to teach us Hawaiian history throughout the whole tour, complete with Hawaiian words that he made the passengers repeat after him. His lessons ranged from passionate stories of King Kamehameha to Pearl Harbor to James Dole and his little pineapple company to Hawaiian pop culture. After a great cup of locally grown, roasted, and brewed coffee, we carried north to Pipeline where we parked and watched pro surfers catching waves, warming up for the Billabong Pipeline Masters. We continued on to Waimea where we all jumped in the ocean and body surfed waves. Our next stop was a 90-min or so stand-up paddleboarding trip up a river under the Rainbow Bridge. My partner owns a paddleboard and she has lots of experience with them, but I had never been paddleboarding before. After some initial shakiness, I quickly found my footing and I really enjoyed it. I’m already considering buying my own board to use on our northern Canadian lakes back home. Next up was snorkeling. Even though the waves were creating some murky conditions, we saw several sea turtles and a handful of goat fish. An unexpected highlight for us was the lunch stop at the Big Wave Shrimp truck in Halewia. The food was outstanding and it was one of those stops that most tourists likely wouldn’t experience if a knowledgeable local didn’t show it to them. From there, we cruised down to the Dole Plantation for a Dole Whip (creamy pineapple ice cream) and a glance at where the Dole fruit company story began. Unfortunately for us, the plantation was exceedingly busy and by the time we had made it through the lineup to get our Dole Whip, there really wasn’t much time to look at anything else. Still, the ice cream was spectacular. Perhaps as a result of the murky snorkeling, or perhaps because it was Christmas Eve, Kevin got our driver to make one final stop in the Honolulu Harbor to show us a prime fish viewing spot in crystal clear water. In the end, we were glad we cancelled our previously booked snorkeling tour and joined Kevo’s Beach Bud. I have already recommended it personally to several people who were looking to experience the North Shore, and now I am recommending it to anybody who takes the time to read my review. It’s the best guided tour I have ever been on. Very glad I met Kevo and Kevin and the rest of the crew. Perfect way to spend Christmas Eve. Mahalo.
