Overview

Our tour offers a unique and customizable experience that is different from most tour companies. We will take you to off-the-beaten-path locations so you can experience life on the North Shore like a local. You will learn about the rich culture and history of Hawaii while taking in some of the most beautiful sights on the island. From the most beautiful beaches, to the best local food and shopping; we have you covered! Tours are not rushed and let you enjoy the North Shore at your own pace. We will take you to hidden gems where you have a better chance of seeing native wildlife than at the crowded beaches in Honolulu. Locations can be added or taken off the tour for no additional cost.
