Honolulu · HALEIWA & DOLE PLANTATION TRIPS
19 reviewed
The North Shore is surf-town Hawaii: Haleiwa’s wooden storefronts, the Dole plantation, garlic-shrimp trucks and the big winter waves at Waimea. These 15 trips run up the middle of the island and leave time to linger. Here is what each day includes, where it stops to eat and how much of the North Shore you actually get to see.

“My tour guide Rob was the worst and not nice to me when I would ask him questions about the snorkeling when he would think I’ve been to Hawaii before and how I’m supposed to know the weather and would talk to me as if I’m stupid saying that “oh it’s winter it’s up to you if you want to go in the water or not, you should know it’s winter” yeah obviously it’s winter but Hawai’i weather is different ban where I live. I was just asking if we were snorkeling cuz it’s drizzling? Another thing that I didn’t appreciate was when he dropped us off to our locations…”

“Justin was our tour guide in Honolulu. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He took time to explain and share the history and the culture.

“Captain Vince made our tour unforgettable from start to finish. He’s funny, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and made everyone feel right at home. Whether it was sharing stories, pointing out hidden gems, or just cracking jokes, he kept the vibe light, fun, and full of aloha. He even got me—someone who does not like birds—to hand-feed zebra doves at the Byodo-InTemple. If that doesn’t speak to his gift for creating memorable experiences, I don’t know what does! Truly one of the best guides I’ve ever had. If you get the chance to tour with Captain Vince, do it. You’ll leave with great memories, better photos, and probably a new favorite person.”

“What can I say? We have created so many new memories while touring the North Shore with Steve. We started our day spending time in the beautiful ocean. I had always wanted to learn how to paddle board. I can’t think of a better place to have had that experience. He was thorough in touring us around the area to include a fabulous, casual lunch and a hike to the stunning Waimea Falls. We hit the jackpot when we decided to book this private tour!”
