North Shore Beach Bus — Local services in Oʻahu

We had such an amazing tour with Kurt & Philip! Kurt was the curator for our tour & Philip our great driver! They were on time for pick up and was so well organized with their stops and time allotted for each stop! We saw so many amazing sights! He broke down so much history and gave insights into the island that we would never know unless we did this tour! The vehicle (shuttle) was super clean, sanitized, and air conditioned, kurt was always checking in with group to make sure we werent too hot or too cold...he was just an all around considerate guide! We got to every spot on time and always just before the other buses got to the locations, so we always arrived just before the mass of other tour buses so we didn't have to wait in long lines to get our food, enter into Waimea park, or Dole plantation...his timing was impeccable! He made us laugh and engaged everyone on the bus, so by the end of our tour, we truly felt like ohana! (Family) He pointed out different celebrity homes as we made our way to the North Shore and stopped at every listed location posted in the tours description, he even touched on Hawaiian mythology and history, from wars, to Gods...he was just so knowledgeable in every way! When it came time for the physical activities, we chose to kayak (additional charge and operated by another side company) but you get the choice to paddleboard or kayak....the guys at that spot were also very helpful and nice! Then we had the choice to either swim at a North Shore beach or hike at the Waimea botanical park and see the beautiful waimea waterfall....we chose Waimea and was so glad we did as the park is FULL of nature, greenery, flowers, and trees! Last stop was the famous Dole plantation where we obliged in some delicious Dole Whip!!! This was an amazing and memorable day for my family and I...we were smiling and laughing the whole way and made so many memories to last a lifetime! You can tell Kurt & Phillip love what they do and enjoy sharing their island with their guests! I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for sightseeing and active exploration! For your reference, i went with my 12 year old daughter, my 68 year old mom, and 74 year old aunt and was way appropriate and manageable for us all (the elders didnt kayak though, lol :) but there was a nice restaurant/bar that they could relax and still take in the magnificent views! Thank you Kurt & Phillip for an amazing tour of the North Shore, we cant thank you enough for this...

This review has been a long time coming as we went to Hawaii a few years ago but I promised to write him a good review because we were more than satisfied with our experience with North shore Beach bus. I forgot the name of our tour guide but he was very cool laid-back and easy to talk to and listen to and he was very thorough in his explanation of different sites. Although the weather wasn't the best he made good use of time and allowed us to experience the North shore and Hawaii Honolulu like none other as we would never have been able to experience the extent and thoroughness as a tour by North shore Beach bus. The food was delicious that was served as well as the sites that we went to. I had a problem with my wrist so I was unable to do the kayaking but my wife excuse me the paddle boarding but my wife and child had a great time. I hope to visit Hawaii again in the near future and this time I should be able to do the paddle boarding. We also went to Hannah Montana Bay hanauma Bay all day we did the all-day tour which is called the North shore Beach plus hanauma Bay tour. I give this tour five Yelp Stars and five Google stars and wish them the best and we will be back so we hope to see the same tour guide and work with the same company again. Thank you and have a...

My partner and I landed in Honolulu last night and decided to kick of our vacation with a guided tour of Oahu. We chose North Shore Beach Bus because of the excellent reviews and great prices, and I’m very grateful we did.

We were lucky enough to have Kurt as our tour guide and learned about Hawaiian history, legislation, movies, celebrities, and culture. There was so much to see and learn—it felt like a billion great tours at once.

The standard tour route takes you through a variety of Oahu staples, and I feel like we hit tons of different areas from Waimea Valley to the Dole Plantation. Beyond that, Kurt threw in some fun extras, and I feel like we got to explore everything Oahu had to offer.

Because we opened with the tour, my partner and I know more about the island and the things we’d like to do together for the rest of our trip! Kurt had a lot of great recommendations for even outside of the tour itself.

The North Shore Beach Bus with Kurt made for an amazing, full day, and it’ll make the rest of our vacation even better. Thank you so much to the North Shore Beach...
