A remarkable experience! I chose The Surf Bus for 2 reasons: one, they have amazing reviews and two, because its the only one that pick you up from the west side resorts. I took the activity with my family and was simply amazing. The driver Sam, was super kind, knowledgeable and professional. The sightseeings are breathtaking. And the highlight of the day for us was the kaiak activity where we had the chance to see turtles (very big ones btw) Highly recommended! Dont think twice!

EXCELLENT way to experience the North Shore! My brother, husband, and I had a great, active, and memorable day. It was great to stay in one area of the island and do and see so many things in the North Shore. Each activity lasted for about 1.5-2.5 hours and that was such a refreshing pace to go at when on a tour. We chose snorkeling on Shark’s Cove and paddle boarding in Hal’iwa. We got to see 5 sea turtles while paddle boarding! Another highlight was going to the Matsumoto Shave Ice store which was DELICIOUS! The line was long but worth it! The guide, Uncle Kevin, was so kind and personable. He was very knowledgeable and kept it real and relaxed with us. His demeanor was so easy going too- loved that he added a few stops to our tour like a fruit shack run by some of his relatives. Would definitely recommend this tour!

The bus showed up on time at 8 AM, and after about 10 minutes we were on our way. There were 3 families of 4 on the bus, including our family. As we headed north to Haleiwa, Sam the driver had a lot of interesting information to share about Oahu and the North Shore that we appreciated as first-time visitors to the island. He also explained the agenda and options for the day. Our first stop was in Haleiwa, where we had 15 minutes to visit the restroom and/or get a preview of the town where we would end up for a longer visit later in the day. Then we got back on the bus for a drive north along the shore, where we saw a number of beaches and views of high waves, including at Weimea Bay where “The Eddie” had been held a couple of weeks previous to our visit. We stopped at Sunset Beach Park for a brief stroll along the beach. Back at the bus it was time to choose an activity for the morning. The options were snorkeling, bicycle riding on a path along the shore, or a visit to the Weimea Valley Park. Surfing or body boarding were not options, because the waves were too high. Everyone chose to visit the Weimea Valley. The park has a paved path surrounded by a beautiful botanical garden. Along the path there are historical archives in huts with docents available to discuss. The path ends at a waterfall that empties into a pond where you can take a refreshing swim, which we did. Life jackets were available for no charge and are required for anyone who goes in the water. Our total roundtrip time on the path was about 2 hours, taking time to photograph plants, visit a few huts, and swim in the pond. We purchased lunch at the snack bar, and had drinks from the coffee house, both of which were very good. We had about a 10-minute wait for the bus, which then took us to Haleiwa for our afternoon activities, either kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding. My wife and I shared a kayak, while our two kids chose paddle boards. We went up a canal that leads to the ‘Anahulu River. It was a nice, leisurely excursion. We did that for only about a half hour, because we wanted to see and shop in Haleiwa. Haleiwa has a number of island-wear stores, dining locations, jewelry shops, art galleries, and a couple of places to get shave-ice. We spent about an hour in town, purchasing some island wear and getting some shave-ice, which was very popular. The bus took us to one last stop, a macadamia nut farm stand, where we were able to sample some coffees and macadamia nuts prepared in various ways. We spent 15 minutes there, and then headed back to the hotel, with Sam sharing more information about the sights along the way. The trip concluded at around 4:50 PM. The tour gave us exactly what we were looking for—a satisfying combination of sightseeing, physical activity, shopping and dining.
