Private North Shore Tour

The private North Shore Tour with Hawaii Pacific Adventures was a great way to spend one of the days we had in Oahu. Leo was such an engaging guide with incredible knowledge and contagious positive energy. It rained and was overcast for most of the tour but we still made memories to last a lifetime. Some of my kids favorite parts of the tour were Leo’s stories about Hawaii. Ask him to say the state fish name for you. You won’t be disappointed.

Operator response

Mahalo for trusting HPA with your day. We are thrilled your family enjoyed the day and Leo!

Favorite Day On The Island

We had an absolutely amazing experience touring the North Shore of Oahu with Austin. From start to finish, He took great care of us and made sure we were comfortable, safe, and having a wonderful time. He also took the time to really personalize our experience to things we wanted to see and do . His knowledge of the island, local history, and hidden gems was incredible and really brought the experience to life. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience would probably do it anyway. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Mahalo, we are thrilled you all enjoyed the day. We hope to welcome you back to the islands soon!

Wonderful experience. A must do

This tour truly exceeded my expectations. Austin was very personable and extremely knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. The waterfall was absolutely beautiful, and seeing the sea turtles was incredible and unforgettable. The timing at each location was perfect—never rushed, but never lingering too long. It was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Arriving early at each stop allowed us to maximize our enjoyment and avoid the crowds, which made a huge difference. The tour was a great value for everything included and all the adventures we experienced. I would highly recommend this tour for couples or families—it’s especially great for families.

Highlights of the North Shore

We truly enjoyed our day on the North Shore with Austin and Daniel. Since it was a private tour for 3 couples, it was tailored to our interests. The lookout at Nu’uanu Pali was spectacular. The botanical gardens were beautiful and swimming at the waterfalls was really fun. Seeing the turtles poke their heads out of the water at Turtle Bay was pretty cool. Austin was very knowledgeable about all things Oahu and both of them even gave us suggestions for places to visit in Kauai and Maui.
