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!

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.

Overall great experience! - Great stops & information. Akoni was our guide & he was kind, funny & helpful. My 6yr old got motion sick & our guide continued checking on us & making us feel comfortable. The lunch provided is at an outside location & there were many flies which was a bit inconvenient but this stop on the tour is not very long. The Waimea falls take a small hike to get to (approx 20 mins) and it is a bit rocky to get down into the water so bring water shoes for that portion if you intend to swim.

Amazing tour - We had an amazing time. Akoni was great and very informative. All the stops were great, especially lunch- amazing lemon pepper shrimp and chicken katsu. This is definitely a must-do. Will definitely recommend to anyone that wants to see the island. So much more to see outside of Waikiki.
