Your Itinerary

Haleiwa Beach Park

A nice, safe place to picnic, play, wade and watch the bigger waves across the channel at Ali’i Beach Park. The beach is long, safe and sandy. The name means “home of the frigate bird.”

Admission Not Included

Pua'ena Point Beach Park

A good place for beginners, where several surf schools sometimes take their classes. Usually smaller than elsewhere on the North Shore, the waves gently roll into the large southern end of Waialua Bay.

Admission Not Included

Laniakea Beach

A favorite stopping place for tourists, this beach isn’t particularly good for swimming because of its rocky bottom and strong currents, even on calmer days. But it does have a long, beautiful right-side break when there’s a big swell. It used to be less crowded than other spots, but these days there’s almost always a line of cars looking for roadside parking and dozens of people dashing across the adjacent highway, often to glimpse the turtles that lounge there.

Admission Not Included

Waimea Bay

The biggest, most historic, most famous of all the North Shore breaks, Waimea sometimes has rideable waves when all the other spots are closed out. Waves can reach 25 to 30 feet offshore and even the shorebreak can be a powerful, awe-inspiring site. Stay well clear of the water and enjoy the spectacle. When the big waves are here, though, so are the crowds. Be prepared to walk a mile or more from your parking space to a prime viewing site.

Admission Not Included

Pupukea Beach Park

Narrow and long, Pupukea is a popular place to stop on an around the island watch the big waves crash on the rocks. With few rideable waves, the site is known for it’s sublime sounds and sights. With a Foodland and Starbucks right across the street, it’s a good place to stock up on picnic supplies and safely dine in a place where you can feel the ocean’s spray on your face. In calmer weather, there are three swimming sites: Three tables, Kapoʻo and Shark’s Cove.

Admission Not Included

Ehukai Beach Park

When the conditions are right, this two-mile stretch of beach (the longest continuous stretch of wide beach on Oahu) features some of best surf-watching opportunities in the world: long, clean barrels so close to shore that you can feel the ground shake when the waves break on the shallow reef. The park, located across from Sunset Beach Elementary School, on the southern end of this beach stretch offers the only off-road parking and rest rooms in this area. To find the best viewing site at Pipeline, look for the public access lane about 100 yards north of the park.

Admission Not Included

Sunset Beach

The most famous of the North Shore beaches, “sunset has some of the most spectacular winter surf found anywhere on Oahu,” with steep and shift outside peaks reaching heights of 15 to 20 feet, according to John Clark, author of “Beaches of Oahu.” Bring your sunscreen, a bottle of water and your binoculars — the best breaks are well off-shore — and settle down for a couple of hours. You’re time will always be well spent.

Travis was a very good guide - he shared his knowledge of the history of Hawaii, his home and the beautiful beaches. We loved that it was a private tour and could be flexible. Our favorites were stopping for shave ice, food trucks for lunch and the blue waters of the ocean.

Nancy_F

Our driver Travis! Travis knew all the local spots to see the views and the big waves. He was knowledgeable about the local history.

ANDREA_B

Travis was knowledgeable and friendly He made our tour experience very memorable Would highly recommend

What can be better than a personal tour of Oahu? Our guide pointed out the highlights in Honolulu but then we took off for the North Shore where we were able to see turtles, humpback whales offshore, and especially the big waves and surfing. Our guide did more than show us his beautiful island. He shared the culture and personal experiences growing up. It was far better than a tour with a bus load of strangers. Highly highly recommended!

Tatiana_W

Our family had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide Sean went above and beyond to show us the beauty of the entire island of Oahu, way beyond just the Northern shore. Everything on the tour was well planned. We had seen historic towns, lots of natural, lush beauty, admired the giant waves, stopped at a lovely market for healthy snacks, had amazing pies for lunch. Most importantly, Sean shared with us lots of stories about the multifaceted history of Hawaii. Our tour lasted substantially longer than initially planned so that we could see the beauty of the cost in addition to just the Northern shore. The car was super clean and spacious and the pick-up was easy and on time. We had been on group tours of Oahu in the past but definitely recommend this family-size tour as you do not rush from place to place, the trip is customized, and the experience is much more personal, memorable, and relaxing, with an added benefit of no need for a rental car or challenges of parking, especially while visiting the Northern shore. Highly recommend this tour!

Our North Shore Adventure tour was absolutely perfect. Our guide, Sean, was knowledgeable, courteous, and a real gentleman. It was great to get his perspective on Hawaiian life and culture being a native of the island, especially learning about and appreciating the fantastic surf community. Thanks to Viator and Sean for making this a memorable day!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this tour and we were already tired from doing a handful of other tours so we weren't expecting much and considered canceling, however, this tour ended up being one of our favorites. It ended up being a private tour in a comfortable mini van and the tour was tailored to whatever we wanted to do. The tour guide was very communicative through text before picking us up, letting us know where/when to meet him and answered any questions/concerns we had before hand. The weather was rainy the whole time basically but he didn't let that stop us from having a good time. We told him what we wanted to see and do, specifically see turtles and some good spots to watch surfers, and that's exactly where he took us. We finally were able to see turtles! He also took us to a food truck we were really interested in going to, Da Bald Guy, and took us to where we could eat and not get drenched in the rain. He was also flexible with us in the length of the tour and it really was whatever we wanted to do in the North Shore area. I'm really glad we did it! My only recommendation would be bring extra towels and an umbrella if you're going to be in the North Shore during the rainy season! He also had an umbrella for my husband who didn't have one.
