If you're looking to get the best of the North Shore, look no further.
If you're looking to get away from Waikiki, look no further.
If you're hesitant about booking a tour because tours are lame and you want to have fun on your vacation, look no further.
I don't like booking touristy tours. I could go on about it, but suffice it to say, I was so impressed with this experience. Our tour guide Kevin was awesome. He was educating and entertaining us every second we were on the bus. The best download of the history of HI I have ever gotten and it's a 2021 real lesson, not your grandma's Disney "It's a Small World" version. Knowledgeable, fun, safe - Hawaii's northshore is the star of the day but Kevin was best supporting actor for sure. Seriously, I left this tour wanting to be this guy, such a rad dude.
All of the stops were better than expected. I've been to Wiamea and Bonzai before on my own... But never with someone who knew something about it - it was like seeing a movie I'd watched a few times before on TV... But now in IMAX and 3D with a Q&A with the director. Fish, caves, turtles, rivers, dolphins, like seriously can't believe we did and saw all of this in a day?! What a blast. My only regret is that I personally wasn't more adventurous during some of the swimming/paddle boarding activities (not a great swimmer, but I never once felt unsafe - I also didn't push it, lol).
I'd you only book one tour/excursion while on Oahu, make it this. Seriously, so much fun. So much activity. So grateful to have found it.
