There are enough places on Oahu to find crowds – this incredible tour lets you escape that while you explore. This whole 8-hour adventure will be tailored specifically to what you want to see.
So instead of a general itinerary meant to everybody happy, your local guide will take you to experience what YOU have dreamed about. Imagine a day tailored just for you, where every moment is crafted to your interests and desires.
Your guide will even take all of the photos for you, so you’re actually in them, no matter what you’re doing! At the end of your day, they’ll be sent to you at no extra charge. That’s not something you hear often.

Choose Your Activities
People coming to Oahu tend to see their options as just Waikiki, in Honolulu, and the North Shore. But there are so many more sights and activities.
A lot of them you wouldn’t know about unless you had either lived on the island for several years. Or, had a guide who knew everything there was to know about Oahu.
That’s the greatest thing about this tour. You’ll see the island with someone who knows it like the back of their hand. They grew up here!
Even after years on Oahu, I still learn about new things from friends who’ve spent their whole lives right here.
Expectations
- You might arrive hoping to experience the best snorkel spots (Shark’s Cove!), some amazing hikes (Maunawili), and a lot of sun, sand, and sightseeing.
You can do all of that, PLUS visit the out-of-the-way spots that visitors generally never see. Because they just don’t know about them.
Water Sports
- If you want to enjoy the incredible Pacific Ocean, you’ll be able to choose from stuff like choose from Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking (Kailua for the win!), and snorkelling. (Be sure to ask about Shark’s Cove 🤿).
Hiking and Oahu Gardens
- Hikers and nature lovers will want to consider hiking, checking out some of the waterfalls, and touring the many spectacular botanical gardens (Waimea Valley is my favourite).
Island Adventures
- And for your more adventurous side, your guide will take you to be best cliff jumping spots, ridgeline hikes (Olomana Trail!), and scuba diving sites.
Connor is an amazing and knowledgeable local guide and he has an easy going personality. He tailored the experience to our interests and ensured a personalized and engaging experience. He provided transportation, life jackets, kayaks, water, & snacks.

My Recommendations
I can’t help but throw in my two cents when it comes to the best spots and activities:
- Shark’s Cove for snorkelling
- Laniakea Beach on the North Shore to see the Hawaiian sea turtles
- The shrimp trucks in Kahuku
- Maunawili, Olomana, and Aiea Loop hikes. Diamond Head is popular, too.
- Waimea Valley Botanical Gardens and waterfall
- Whale watching in season (December – May)
- Kayaking in Kailua; enjoy Kailua beach and explore the town, too!
- Pearl Harbour tour
- Loco moco for lunch!
Of course, you won’t need my recommendations, your guide will have you covered. But I can’t help myself. You can find a more complete list of things to do on its own separate page.
