Description
We are the only tour company on Oahu that caters specifically to the youthful, adventurous crowd. Guests of all ages are invited to join, keeping in mind that our average guests range in age from 18-35, so they can be a bit energetic! This shuttle is designed to appeal to guests who want to explore the beautiful landscapes that the famous North Shore of O'ahu has to offer. Guests will be able to visit the world-famous Banzai Pipeline, Waimea Bay, and the Dole Pineapple Plantation, as well as do some swimming and snorkeling at the always-popular Shark's Cove. A day on the North Shore can be as active as you would like it to be, with the option to just enjoy a day lazing around on our various pristine beaches, having a delicious, local lunch, or snorkeling and jumping off off Waimea's notorious 7m (20-25ft) rock jump.

Tour Options
Itinerary
Banzai Pipeline
Guests will typically spend an hour here. Guides will explain the historic significance and stories that make this place world famous. Guests will be able to take pictures, explore, and will be able to swim depending on ocean conditions. Remember, there can be extremely large, dangerous waves during the winter season (October to March), in which case the water will be off-limits.
Shark's Cove
The shuttle will drop guests off at Shark's Cove. This is a very popular location for snorkeling, diving, and freediving. Guests are encouraged to bring their own snorkeling equipment but may rent gear across the street from the cove. This stop will take place at lunchtime so guests are advised to eat lunch here. There are multiple food options just across the street, including multiple food trucks and the Foodland supermarket. Waimea Bay and Three Tables Beach are also within walking distance from the drop-off, so guests can spend 3 hours exploring these attractions.
Laniakea Beach
This is the beach referred to as "Turtle Beach", where Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles sometimes bask in the sun in the sand.
Dole Plantation
This is a relatively quick stop for guests to purchase souvenirs, and try the famous Dole Whip Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream
