Highlights
  • Nu’uanu Pali - Our first stop of the day is at one of the most scenic and historic places in all of O’ahu. Learn the story about how King Kamehameha united all of the Hawaiian Islands under one monarchy as we visit the very spot where a famous battle took place.
  • Byodo-In Temple - As we drive along the Ko’olau mountain range we stop to discover a hidden gem tucked away from the main road. Byodo-In Temple was featured by National Geographic in “20 of the world’s most beautiful Buddhist temples,” noting its architectural details and awe inspiring surroundings.
  • Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet) - Famously known as “The Little Country Store On Your Way to the North Shore” Steve and Chrissy Paty started this as a roadside operation in 1987 and now, three decades later it’s a great place to try different local snacks and learn how to crack open some macadamia nuts as the chickens stand by watching hungrily hoping you drop a nut or two.
  • Waimea Valley - Follow your E Noa tour guide on a short hike to a 45’ waterfall where you can swim. Learn about the ancient history of Waimea Valley and why it’s considered to be a very significant and religious site.
  • Dole Plantation - We end our day with a drive through Haleiwa Surf Town and beautiful pineapple fields before stopping at the Dole Plantation. Don’t forget to try the world famous DoleWhip frozen dessert, a perfect treat under the Hawaiian afternoon sun!

Great 8 hour tour with Enoa Tours and our driver Keoki - This was approximately an 8 hour tour starting from Ko Olina to key points throughout parts of Oahu which included Nu’uanu Pali Lookout, Byodo-in Temple, Waimea falls, the North Shore, and Dole Pineapple Plantation . Our driver and narrator was Keloki. He was extremely entertaining and gave great details on all the places we stopped and drove by. He has a genuine love for his job and had great ways to bring the 20 strangers together as a group. We decided to take a quick diversion, at the end of the tour, to a group of local food trucks so we could pick up the Hawaiian special “donuts” called Malasadas plus local pork, Kalua style, dinners to take back to our resort for a nice tasty dinner. Would highly recommend the Enoa tour company and be sure to ask for Keoki for a special experience.

Great way to see it all! - Excellent island adventure with Kimo! The circle tour is the best efficient way to take in all of what O’ahu has to offer outside of Town. Driving it yourself is not nearly as enjoyable as having a driver who tells you stories from both modern and ancient Hawaiian history while taking you to the best destinations around the north shore!

Amazing Tour! Enjoyed the whole day filled with fun, information, and most of all the food! - Kumu was an excellent tour guide! He provided the whole group with an abundance of information as we toured the island of O’ahu. Very knowledgeable about the island plants, historic sites and stories, beliefs of people on the island. He treated everyone on the bus as if we were Ohana (family). He even kept us engaged by making it a game of whoever got on the bus last having to do the hula dance lol. I would definitely recommend this tour specifically with Eno tours, and you would be very very lucky if Kumu was the guide. Places I enjoyed most, starting at my all time favorite: Waimea Valley, Byodo-In Temple, Turtle Bay Beach (I wish we could have stayed longer, but we did see a few turtles!), Tanaka Shrimp truck, Macadamica Nut Farm, and Dole Plantation. These places were cool too: Chinaman’s Hat and Nu'uanu Pali Lookout - it just gets a little chilly in these areas, and there was rain when we were there. So make sure to bring a jacket just in case. P.S. Bring your appetite because they will feed you along the way!

E Noa Tours shares real Oahu - I can not say enough great things about E Noa Tours and our amazing guide Kimo. I booked a private group tour for 24 passengers and everything went so smoothly from our first contact. Great communication between Devlin at the office leading up to the tour. On the tour, our driver guide Kimo was a very safe driver, a great storyteller, a skilled musician and an overall fun guy. We all had such a fantastic time! Kimo definitely made all of us feel like Ohana as the day went on. Looking forward to seeing him again on a return trip to Oahu.

Informative guide…..very enjoyable tour. - Our tour guide Momi was a native Hawaiian and was from the area so she was knowledgable and had lots of stories about growing up there and how it’s changed. Momi was also very friendly and kind.
