Itinerary
Mermaid Caves
Admission not included240 min
Mermaid and Makua caves is hidden in the west side of Oahu.
We will be visiting the cavernous setting with holes of varying sizes is half-submerged along the west shores of Oahu and looks out into the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean. The calming and enchanting ambiance is magically transportive, making it a favorite destination among adventurers with an imagination. Despite the pains and perils that plague visitors of the infamous cave, nobody could resist from getting bewitched by the crystal clear water rushing towards the shell-spattered shore and sun rays streaming through the cave's crevices, painting a golden hue on the dim cavern.
Makua Cave is a mysterious site on Oahu's leeward (west) coast, almost as far away as you can get on the island near where the road ends. The cave is estimated to be around 150, 000 years old and was once underwater, carved out by the waves of the ocean. Pray for sex beach is hidden entrance where locals enjoy a day at the beach.

Experience awe & wonder visiting Mermaid Caves, Makua Cave & Pray for Sex Beach
Suzie Olsen was the BEST tour guide. My husband and I live in Ewa Beach and our son and his girlfriend were visiting us for Christmas. She picked the four of us up in nearby Kapolei, and drove us first to Makua Cave. On the drive there she told us the real history of Hawai'i and entertained us with her life experiences. She regaled us with fun and interesting facts about all of the major Hawaiian islands. Susie being a local definitely adds a deeper layer to her knowledge of Hawaiian culture as she has lived it! :) We had never been to Makua Cave and I don't think we would have found it on our own even though the entrance is right along Farrington! We also went to Pray for Sex Beach, which we never knew existed and is a beautiful, local beach with deep, white sand better than Waikiki and without the crowds. We went up as far north as we could before the road ends and saw another beautiful beach with picturesque lava rock formations that the tide rolled over like small waterfalls. My favorite stop was Mermaid Caves. We planned is so we were there at low tide, and Susie brought us a ladder so we could go down into the Mermaid Cave with the best view! I am so glad Susie was there to guide us how to get in and out, as the cave is really tight and we would not have attempted this on our own! Mermaid Cave at low tide is a magical site with the sunlight coming through the holes in the lava rock above creating colors of aqua and yellow on the water. Susie took absolute stunning pictures of me and my son in the cave from her phone and airdropped them to us. She actually took lots of pictures of us at each stop and airdropped them all to us, and I am so thankful as they are a great reminder of this special day! The sites Susie took us to are hidden gems of Oahu that even folks who have lived here for years may never have experienced or seen. Mahalo nui loa Susie!

Amazing Tour of Oahu
Susie is a fantastic guide. She took us on an amazing tour of Oahu, showing us its hidden gems and beautiful landscape. We enjoyed a scenic drive along the coastline, stopping at breathtaking beaches and viewpoints, and tasting delicious food from several food trucks. Her knowledge of the island’s history and the Hawaiian people was incredible and we learned so much along the way. On top of that, Susie is one of the friendliest, kindest and most fun people you could be around.
I would highly recommend a tour with Susie!

a visit to Pearl Harbor
Susie is a fantastic guide. She picked us up from the cruise port and drove us to Pearl Harbor where we were able to explore the Bowfin submarine and the battleship Missouri. She is warm, funny and knowledgeable about the people and history of her island. We really enjoyed our time with her. A day with Susie is a definite recommendation from both of us.

Amazing tour guide!
Susie is an amazing guide. She showed us parts of the island we did not know about and told us so much about Hawaii and its history. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. We all had a wonderful time and will definitely tour again with her next time we are here. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you Susie!

Aloha Private Tours is Absolutely the Best Tour. Book now! You will love the hidden gems she shows you.
Susie from Aloha Private Tours showed us so many hidden gems that most tourists never get to experience. Starting with Mermaid Cave..a cave you climb DOWN into. Waves cascade into the cave where you can walk around in waist deep water, float or swim. Incredible! She took us to Makua cave, authentic Hawaiian food trucks, lots of hidden beaches with spectacular views, Spitting Cave, and lots of scenic drives. We extended the initial 3 hour tour to 7 hours (2back to back tours) and she customized the tour to what WE like to do. The day spent with Aloha Private Tours was the highlight of our 2 week trip to Hawaii. Make your reservation now. Best tour you could ask for!
