Tour Options
Itinerary
Our first stop is a quick, wake up stop. We grab some local coffee, check their coffee plantation out back, use the restrooms and then head straight to Pipeline Beach!
Our second stop is Banzai Pipeline, possibly the most famous surf beach on earth.
Calm crystal clear water during summer and massive waves during winter, Waimea Bay is one of Oahu's most famous surf beaches and home of the Eddie Big Wave Invitational surf competition.
Our fourth stop is stand-up paddle or kayaking on the Anahulu River, and it's usually everyone's favorite part of the day. Since the river is connected to the ocean, many times we'll see sea turtles right next to us in the river! Board rental $20.
Our fifth stop is Tsue's Farm where we eat local-style plate lunches with an amazing riverside view. Lunch $15-$25 per plate.
Our sixth stop is Dole Pineapple Plantation, made famous for their Dole Whip pineapple sorbet.
Last chance to get in the ocean on our tour! Beautiful views of Waikiki from Kaka'ako Waterfront park. We will make a tour group picture and have a last swim in the ocean.
Very last stop before geetting back into Waikiki! We take a quick stop at the Aloha Tower where there is a beautiful little reef right off the sidewalk. You'll hopefully be able to spot a morish idle, triggerfish needlefish and trumpetfish!

This we all agree was definitely our favourite day! Our guide Damo was so much fun and gave us heaps of information. He put in 100% effort all day. The tour itself was well organised and every place we were taken was fun and stress free. Would definitely recommend over doing it yourself, these guides know their stuff & where to take you.
I was born and raised on Oahu, and although I live on the mainland now, I try to go back once a year with my kids. This was a really fun day-trip, packed full of adventure and knowledge. I went to places on the island I had never been, and learned so much about the history and culture of the people and the islands which, as a keiki o ka'aina, was valuable to me. So much of that information has stayed with me as Kevin is a true historian and entertaining orator. I would definitely go again next time I'm in town, if only to try to Kevin back for making me fall off my SUP. Mahalo Kevo, Kevin and Dom!
This tour was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Oʻahu. Our guide, Kevin was the coolest Hawaiian guy—funny, adventurous, and an incredible storyteller. You could tell how much he genuinely loves the island, and his stories and local knowledge made every stop so much more meaningful. More than anything, it felt like we weren't just taking a tour—we were seeing Hawaii with some of the locals. We visited places we probably never would have found on our own and some we definitely wouldn't have found, and the entire day felt authentic, relaxed, and unforgettable. If you're looking for a typical tourist experience, this isn't it. If you want an adventure with someone who makes you feel like you're exploring the island with a friend, book this tour. We'd do it again in a heartbeat!
Had an amazing time! The kids loved Kevin and his enthusiasm. Both kids were sad when we finished the tour and asked if we could go again the next day!! Kevin also assisted with our children when they were a bit scared to try new things and by the end they wanted to do the activity again with him.
We have gone on this most awesome tour for three years in a row now. It's so fun , it is all my boys can talk about!!! This tour is part beach adventure, part history lesson, part Island tour and animal encounter. You truly can't ask for a more fun day!! So worth the money!!!
Kevo’s Beach Bus was one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip. From the very beginning, the team went above and beyond. We had trouble finding the meeting location, and instead of rushing us, they patiently waited and helped us find our way. That level of kindness and customer service set the tone for the entire experience. Kevo was absolutely incredible. He was energetic, animated, engaging, and unbelievably knowledgeable. Within minutes of getting on the bus, he had everyone captivated with stories about Hawaiian and Polynesian culture, history, traditions, and local life. You could immediately tell that this is not just a job for him. It is something he genuinely loves. As he shared all the exciting plans for the day, including paddleboarding, snorkeling, and the many adventures ahead, we found ourselves getting more and more excited. Even my mother, whom he affectionately called “Abuela,” was completely intrigued and wanted to stay. She absolutely loved him. Unfortunately, we had to make the difficult decision to leave the tour early due to a family matter. That decision had absolutely nothing to do with Kevo or the experience he was providing. In fact, it made leaving even harder because we were genuinely looking forward to everything he had planned. What impressed me most was the professionalism, kindness, and grace with which the situation was handled. As a business owner myself, I pay close attention to customer service, and there is so much to learn from the way Kevo and his team treat people. On a fun note, watch out Polynesian Cultural Center! 😄 If Kevo ever decides to open his own cultural attraction, we will be first in line. His ability to educate, entertain, and bring Hawaiian and Polynesian history to life is truly something special. By the time he was done speaking, we were completely captivated and wanting more. Although we did not get to complete the tour, Kevo made such a positive impression on our family that we are already talking about doing it again when we return to Hawaii. Even if I come back by myself, I will absolutely book this tour. I want to hear the rest of the stories, learn more about the culture, and experience everything we missed. Thank you, Kevo, for your patience, your passion, your knowledge, and your heart. We arrived as guests, but you made us feel like family. Until next time, from me, Chanel, and Abuela. 🌺🤍🌴

Amazing Aspen here giving you a 5 star review. We had so much fun amazing places that you probably have never been to. Amazing view and amazing tour guides. Kevin and Dom where amazing very fun. Super educational but not in a boring way like school, in a fun exciting crazy way. We went to like millions of different spots which where all so much fun. Again it was just so amazing and fun without Kevin and Dom it wouldn't of been as fun. Non stop, the fun never ends and always learning Hawaiian history. Best photography team, they even send you all the photos they take.
we had the absolute best time with our tour guides kevin and damo, they made the experience to entertaining and personal to each one of us, it was by far the best day of our trip to hawaii and the best tour i have ever been on, we travelled around the island and learned so much about hawaiian culture and history i never would have known, kevin made the entire journey so interesting, not a single person not paying attention or not participating. the activities they took us on were amazing, they also took so many complimentary photos for us throughout the entire trip and direct sent to us. i would recommend this tour to anyone going to hawaii, you get to explore the entire island for such a cheap price, good food and great people!
