This hike, spanning 1.5 miles through our captivating rainforest, is manageable for most. Then, we set off for a sightseeing tour on the South East side of Oahu, stopping for lunch at local shops. Afterward, we proceed to the beautiful beaches on the east side, where all beach facilities will be provided by us. Just remember to bring sunblock and a towel. Conveniently, this beach park has restrooms and showers. (We offer both private and small group tours. Our Jeeps accommodate 4 guests, while our luxury Vans can hold up to 7 guests).

Turn key Kid friendly trip - Amazing trip! Shamus made sure we did a hike that our 6 year olds could handle and took us to see some great sites. He has a compendium of knowledge about the island and Hawaii. After stopping for lunch, we visited one of the best beaches in the world that wasnt touristy. Highly recommend you use get Shamus to show you the island instead of trying to go to all of the sites on your own. Especially if you have kids.

Amazing Excursion - Seamus was our tour guide and he was awesome! My husband and I were the only ones signed up for the day so we had a private tour. The rain forest-waterfall hike was amazing. Seamus showed us so many beautiful spots around the island and explained the history of each. We stopped for lunch at one of the best taco spots on the island and even spent time on the beach. I definitely would recommend this excursion to anyone wanting to see some of the most beautiful sights on the island.

Shamus was great. The... - Shamus was great. The tour was just my 11 year old so and myself. Our original destination was closed so he took us to Waimea falls which was amazing. He was very informative and knowledge about all the places me went. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something to do with kids!

Amazing time! - Our experience was great and we really enjoyed our tour guide, Natalie. She knew a lot about the area and brought us to a “secret” beach at the end of it to relax by the water. I do recommend planning this your first or second day in Hawaii. That way if you drive past anything you want to check out, you still have time because you do drive by a lot of cool places.

Must do! - Excellent tour. Loved the waterfall hike at Manoa Falls and the beach at Blowhole lookout. Our guide, Natalie, was very nice and provided a lot of information about the island as we drove around from place to place. This was our first visit to Hawaii and we are glad we took this tour to learn our way around the island. Would definitely recommend!

5 STAR TOUR, Worth every penny! - Out of all the many times I’ve traveled to the islands I have never hired an actual tour guide. Today my daughter and I booked a tour and hike to the waterfalls with Shamus. He arrived promptly and was very professional but very funny and entertaining. He was a wealth of knowledge about the island and shared really interesting facts and history with us that I’ve never known in all the years. It was so great to see the island from a local perspective. We ended the day at the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Would highly recommend this tour company and requesting Shamus.

Amazing semi private tour! - We had the absolute best day hiking to beautiful Lalumha waterfall! It has just rained so the falls were flowing! Our guide Sheamus was the best! He got us safely to the waterfall and took so many great pictures of my fiancé and I under the falls!! Then he brought us to grab food before spending the rest of the day at beautiful Kailua beach. He dropped us off and we got to spend a few hours relaxing and enjoying the views from the beach! We would definitely recommend this excursion to family and friends visiting Hawaii!!

Good but needs changes - Seamus is a very good storyteller. I was captivated by his story about the island and the background about the hike we were doing. I don’t think it was worth $150 for what we did. We were picked up slightly after 9am at our hotel and got back around 4pm. We did a 1.4 mile hike during the first half of the tour. We were contacted via text the day before but I wish they provided more accurate information to help us wear appropriate shoes. Something like below would more helpful: “Pickups for the tour will begin at 9am. Please give us time to get there, for, we have other parties to pickup before hand. The driver will step outside and call your name. He will contact you when he can’t find you. Please bring cash for lunch, a towel and wear your swimsuits under your regular clothes. Sunblock. You will be stepping in streams and other bodies of water so wear shoes you’re comfortable walking in as well as getting wet and dirty. Chaco like sandals and footwear would be sufficient. Sneakers and running shoes are fine too if you’re ok getting them wet and dirty.” Posting this information on the website during tour booking would also be very helpful as my husband and I packed real hiking shoes for this but ended up changing them out and hiking in our sandals. Hiking in sandals were ok until the end where I bumped into a stump in the middle of the trail and hurt my toe pretty badly that it hurt for a couple weeks. The hiking shoes took up precious packing space in our luggage. We were taken to a Mexican restaurant after the hike and ordered our own lunch. Then we were driven to a nice beach. It was beautiful but the waves were strong, which was good if we had surf boards or body boards. Seamus gave us beach chairs which were useful but a beach umbrella and/or body boards would be even better. It showered off and on during our 2-3 hour there and there were very limited natural tree shade. I was expecting more for having paid $150 each for myself and my husband but it was one 1.4 mile hike and then left at the beach for 2-3 hours on our own. The itinerary should be embellished to include more or the price decreased to better reflect what is included. For comparison, I went on a circle tour for 8 hours and it was $99 per person with entrance pass included.
