Our trip along the north shore was awesome! Had plenty of time to do our activities and eat and walk around! Our tour guide Sam, he was awesome! He has a lot of knowledge about the area. He had stories about everything, kept us laughing the whole time! Great personality. I really recommend this tour, we thought about driving ourselves up the north shore, but we would’ve missed out on a lot of knowledge/history of the area!
Amazing day long tour!

Great driver/guide with lots of knowledge of the island and great sense of humor. Stops were different than the usual. Much less crowded. Great way to see the island when you don’t know your way around.
Fabulous tour

Aloha, this adventure was the perfect way to cap off our time in Hawaii. Cousin G, is so knowledgeable, helpful, and funny. Each stop is a mini adventure in of itself and if you don't have a lot of time in Hawaii but want to see and take in as much as you can this is the trip for you. Mahalo cousin G!

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. It was nice to see some of the more rural areas of Oahu. We liked having activity choices. The time allotted for them was a good amount. On the way back, our driver played traditional Hawaiian music as we watched the landscape. It was a lovely day!
