- 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.
- Pounders Restaurant - At Pounders, guests will have access to a greater variety of dining options, and after their meal, they can explore the retail shops at Hukilau Marketplace within the Polynesian Cultural Center. As an added bonus, Pounders is offering our guests a 10% discount at select stores
- Waimea Valley - Join your E Noa tour guide on a short hike to a stunning 45-foot waterfall, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. Along the way, discover the rich history of Waimea Valley and learn why this sacred area holds deep cultural and spiritual significance.
- Dole Plantation - We conclude our day with a scenic drive through the charming Haleiwa Surf Town and picturesque pineapple fields, leading to a stop at the famous Dole Plantation. Be sure to indulge in the world-renowned DoleWhip frozen dessert—a refreshing treat to enjoy under the warm Hawaiian afternoon sun!

Chico the Tour Guide is excellent - Chico was our very entertaining, knowledgeable tour driver. We were picked up in the morning and drove around the Island.
-Nu’uanu Pali Lookout
-Byodo-In Temple
-Tropical Farms
-Lunch Stop (Meal Included!)
-Waimea Valley*
-Dole Plantation
-Scenic North Shore Drive
We went past the surf spots, went to a lovely Temple (Byodo-In Temple) in one of the most beautiful cemeteries I have ever seen. Macadamia farm was good. Stopped for lunch which was OK and then to the Waimea Valley to see a waterfall, we did not know that it was a big walk to the waterfall, but could hire ride-ons or use a shuttle, we swam in the water which was exhilarating.
Drove to the Dole Planation for a shop and the lovely scenic drive back.
A good day out, good value trip, made better by Chico's personality.

Wow! What an experience! - Chico is an absolutely fantastic tour guide! From the moment the tour began, his energy, knowledge, and passion for the place were clear. He struck the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, keeping everyone engaged and at ease throughout. His storytelling brought the history and culture to life, and he was always happy to answer questions or go the extra mile to ensure everyone had a great experience. Chico’s enthusiasm is infectious, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about his guests. I would highly recommend any tour with Chico—you won’t be disappointed!

An amazing tour of Oahu with Turk - I have been on a few tours in my time, in many different cities, across many different parts of the world. Finding the right fit of local know-how can be tricky. Is the guide knowledgeable but also enthusiastic about delivering that knowledge?
Spending the morning and afternoon with our guide, Turk was great. He gave us stories of the history of all of Oahu. Told us of great places to visit for amazing locally owned food. Advised us of the best places to surf and his lifetime history with the sport. All of this done with a great spirit of love for his home and for welcoming tourists to experience that home.
I would 100% love to tour with this company again, and would love to spend an entire day hanging out with Turk.
