What To Expect

Diamond Head State Monument

Our first stop is on the outside slopes of the world-famous icon of Hawaii, Diamond Head Crater, where we stop at the Amelia Earhart monument which overlooks the Pacific Ocean as the 100,000-year-old volcanic crater towers above you. *This tour does not include an entry inside the crater, but makes a photo-stop on the outer flanks of it.

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve

Due to Pandemic Hanauma Bay has extremely strict control over the number of guests visiting there. At this time the Bay does not allow any tour operators to help guests visit there. If the Bay allows tour operator to bring guests, we will resume the snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

Halona Blowhole

This is an intriguing geographical spot where the ocean has undercut the lava and drilled a hole through to the top. "From Here to Eternity" and "51st Date" movies were filmed around here.

Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)

This location had been partly used to film the "Jurassic Park 1" and the "51st Date". You can taste samples and purchase all different kinds of Macadamia nuts.

Mokoli’i Island

It is located right across the Kualoa ranch. This area had been used to film the Jurassic Park and 51st Date !!

Banzai Pipeline

Photo Op at the world famous Banzai Pipeline. This was the filming location for the surfing movie “Blue Crush“, where we will spend time relaxing and taking pictures. This surf spot hosts the Billabong Pipe Masters and World Surf League “WSL” Championship Tours. During Hawaii’s winter season, waves can reach heights of up to 20 feet. *Stop dependent on road conditions & driver discretion due to high surf Oct - Jan.

Waimea Bay

Waimea Bay is another gem up on the North Shore of Hawaii. which was one of the filming locations used for the television series Lost, for an one hour of fun. In the winter months Waimea Bay is also home to the famous Quicksilver Big Wave Invitational in memory of Eddie Aikau where some of the top professional Surfers in the world compete for the biggest prize in surfing. Larger surf at the bay went unridden for years until November 7, 1957 when a handful of surfers finally paddled out and rode the giant waves that break off the northern point of the bay

Waimea Valley

*Instead of Waimea Bay stop* One can choose to visit the Waimea Valley, a well paved hike (approx. 1.5 mile round trip) through a beautiful botanical garden. Waimea Valley is an area of historic cultural significance on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. ***WAIMEA VALLEY IS CLOSED MONDAYS SEP - MAY ***

Haleiwa

Explore the beautiful beaches of Oʻahuʻs North Shore. Enjoy delicious island favorites! For lunch we choose from several locations along the North Shore and our guests can choose from a variety of scrumptious shrimp plates, sandwiches or salads. Lunch is optional. You can also try your hand at kayaking or paddle boarding by taking a leisurely cruise up the Anahulu River. Paddle Boarding or Kayaking activity happens here at this beautiful Haleiwa Town. Kayaks and Paddleboards are available for rent. Haleiwa Town is known for refreshing shaved ice, surf shops, cafeʻs, and unique art.

Dole Plantation

This stop is designed for us to briefly stop for souvenirs and an authentic Dole Whip ( Dole pineapple soft serve ice cream)! You can't get this treat unless you also visit Disney Land or Disney World (don't be fooled by the imitation products throughout Waikiki). *No Train ride or Maze activities, Dole Whip not included*

We travel a lot and take a lot of tours. This, BY FAR, was the best tour and experience we have ever had, mainly because of our tour guide Ian! He gave us history, he made it super fun, he remembered all of our names and just showed us His Island. We saw the whole island and got tips and tricks to get the most out of our time here. Plus, he was hilarious and just was one cool dude! (9 arms and sucks-Inside joke for Ian) this tour is a must and you have to request Ian as your guide. You will not be disappointed! 🤙🤙

Ian was the best tour guide ever! He was so much fun and made the experience fun and memorable. He remembered everyone’s name and was constantly engaging all of his guests. He was very lively and told great stories about the island and answered everyone’s questions! We are now experts on the island! Great stops. Loaded up on goodies at the macadamia nut farm. Saw lots of beautiful parts of the island and ate some tasty shrimp from Fumis, shave ice and save room for the yummy Pineapple whip at the Dole stop! It was a super fun day!
