Wow!!! Amazing Waves - Alan was a terrific guide as we toured most of the island. He is a native Hawaiian and related many stories of the beaches and small villages we drove through. Trip was most enjoyable. It was the perfect length. We visited the blowhole and made several short stops for shopping or eating . It was the amazing waves at the North Shore that were the highlight of the trip..

Better than advertised - Our north shore group tour was excellent. I really enjoyed our tour guide (Stephanie?) who provided local details that enhanced our understanding of each location visited. Our group was small (6) which allowed us to see a few additional places not listed on the itinerary. Enjoyed seeing turtles up close too! My only preference would be to begin at the Dole Plantation and work back. By the time we arrived there, we were too tired to take advantage of all the things we could have done there. Very satisfied with this tour overall.

Unenthusiastic - Our guide was completely unenthusiastic and treated the island’s most impressive features, like the mountain ranges, as if they were nothing. There was almost no explanation or storytelling about the landscape or history – just plain boring introduction of what's in the area. And constantly asking at most of the check points if people “wanted to stop for photos,” which meant the experience was driven by whoever in the group shouted first. Unsurprisingly, most participants weren’t interested, so we ended up skipping Koalou mountain scenery, turtle beach, and Haleiwa because of that. This question should never have been brought up by any tour guide.

Do not recommend - Do not recommend. There are no meaningful stops along the way, and the introductions provided by the guide were not insightful. Basically a Uber ride.
