About the Business
This tour is designed for tourist to leave the crowded fast paced environment of Waikiki and enjoy some of the most scenic relaxed beaches of Oahu. For those individuals looking to add some activities to their tour, we offer swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkeling. The day begins by taking your guests directly from Waikiki to Oahu's world famous North Shore. Destinations such as Banzai Pipeline, Waimea Bay Beach Park and Waimea Falls will be included to show the most popular locations on the North Shore. They will also spend time visiting with the turtles over at Turtle Beach. Lunch is located at Turtle Town and is known to serve some of the best coconut shrimp on the island. The next stop includes the Dole Plantation for a serving of tasty pineapple ice cream. We then begin our drive south on the H3 where your guests will enjoy some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. Along the H3, they will see where great Hollywood productions such as Jurassic Park and Lost are filmed. Once we reach Hanauma Bay your guests will enjoy snorkeling inside of a dormant volcano allowing them to see hundreds of different types of fish and coral. The North Shore Beach Bus will pick your guests up about 7:30am and have them back in Waikiki by 4:30pm.

My husband and I just finished our Hawaiian getaway and we're so lucky to have known Sefo who introduced us to the tours that North Shore Tours can provide us. We particularly loved the Oahu Island Tour. Our tour guide, Ian, was excellent and I can do that tour all-over again! We love Ian - so relatable to any age group!
We also really liked our Pearl Harbor Tour. We also love our tour guide, Moe for the Luau tour, that makes off the mediocre Luau we got from Paradise Cove to say the least. (I'd say it's not the North Shore Tour's fault at all!)
Thanks to North Shore Tours for a very memorable and enjoyable vacation!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Anna N.Dallas, TX05210May 7, 2024
Pros: Getting to see other parts of the island.
Cons: Just about everything else. I was in the third row and I couldn't guide the tour guide very much at all. Also, he only asked questions of / listened to the opinions of those in the first two rows. That led us to skip some of the stops I was looking forward to (that were listed on the website) and add some that I had absolutely no interest in. Also, the main attraction for me was the waterfall, which was closed the day of the tour. Instead of apologizing and giving a backup plan, the tour guide just basically said, "oh well" and that was the end of that. The tour guide also didn't facilitate any interaction amongst parties on the tour, even though he said he was going to. As a result, it was a bit of awkward experience. Overall, I do not recommend.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Allison J.Rochester, NY89477Sep 27, 2023
Ray was an amazing tour guide! We had the chance to see so many beautiful places along the east and north shore! Waimea Valley was magical! We were so grateful that the waterfall was available for swimming! We learned so much both from Ray and the informative booths in Waimea Valley. There is so much history on this island. This tour is definitely the best way to see the most, learn the most, and get your best "bang for your buck"! Highly recommend.

Kona is DA BOMB. Kahuna Status tour guide. He is the wise sage to show us around the island of Oahu.
At first I read about Greg, but in the middle of the tour as things were getting interesting I was thinking, "Greg who?"
Seriously though guys, NSBB is super lucky to have him.
100% recommend this tour.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 713691899Feb 27, 2022
For the fried cheesecake, it was off the hook and very good. My fiancé ordered the Cuban sandwich and lemonade and didn't like either. Won't be returning.

We went with Ian on the NSBB circle tour 30% sightseeing and 70% activity. Out of the 3 circle tour I have experienced, it was by far the best. Ian was informative, funny and had a lot of insider information he was willing to share. Beside the garden and waterfall visit which was awesome, Ian took us to Blue Planet Adventure Sports were he arranged a tour guide to take us up a water way from near the beach inland. It was an amazing kayaking and SUP experience. (Side note: BPAS equipment is top notch!) We seriously stopped counting when we saw the 20 turtle in the water and basking in the sun. Yes, we saw more then 20! Truly an awesome and new way to see the turtles!!! The whole day was amazing. Thanks Ian and NSBB!!!
