Love the surf bus— comfy ride with a/c. Cousin G is friendly, informative, funny, and genuinely concerned with making sure everyone has a good time. Cute souvenirs at macadamia farm; fruit stand also has good, fresh snacks. Waimea waterfall swimming & gardens were a highlight. Good to bring water shoes/socks & waterproof case for phone pics. The garden themselves are also just beautiful and peaceful to walk-through. The little lunch spot is also nice. Kayaking/paddleboarding was also very fun- our group was lucky and got to see a bunch of turtles. We also stopped at the half pipe to see 15 foot waves & a few surfers on the way there. Loved the shopping in Halaweia- found Makua banana bread & Snoopy surf shop. All in all, it was a great day and a good way to see the North Shore and get out of Waikiki. Thank you, Cousin G -You’re a rockstar! I can tell you love what you do!

We had an absolute blast with Cousin G and North Shore Surf Bus Travel! The waterfall and paddleboarding were amazing, but honestly, Cousin G was the highlight of the tour. His knowledge of the island’s history, great stories, and fun conversations made the experience that much more special. We came for the adventure but left feeling like we made a new friend! If you get Cousin G, you’re in for a treat. Highly recommend! 🌺🤙

Fantastic trip with Cousin G! Great sense of humor and very knowledgeable about the island. The itinerary was flexible and everyone was able to pick how they wanted to spend their day. 10/10 would book again.
Had a great time with cousin G. We saw a ton in one day! He made it very fun and overall a good way to see a lot of sights in a short time. It would be nice to have pearl harbors included but at the end of the day we were pretty tired from all the excitement! Definitely a good time overall :) swimming at the waterfall at the gardens was a highlight!
Uncle G is an excellent tour guide.

it was an amazing trip. Cousin G was fantastic!
Thank you for a great experience!
The snorkelling was the reason we chose this particular trip. When we got there decided against it. The area was just like a Rockpool about up to your waist. Totally disappointed. Have been snorkelling many times before, and I wouldn’t consider this a true snorkelling experience. Sorry, but terrible.
Uncle G was informational, funny and made the day memorable. It was a great way to see so many different places.
Cousin G made it a great excursion! He was funny and has a great stop for lunch with a ton of amazing food trucks! Highly recommend, especially if you get lucky enough to swim at the waterfall!!
The trip was awesome, Cousin G was a fun guide!🤙
Cousin G was such a great tour guide. He gave us such good historical backgrounds about everything. He's funny and polite. Cousin G made this tour amazing.
Amazing day, with lots to do and see. By far the best part was the botanical gardens with a waterfall swim. The waterfall and gardens were absolutely beautiful and was a highlight of the entire trip.
I and my family started the tour @ 7am, Visited several sites that were well worth the views and time spent riding around Waikiki! Being able to experience some of the local foods, beautiful coastal areas, beaches, waterfall, architectures and we also had a well educated on the islands history and organized tour guide named Cousin "G". Thank you for great moments I and my family will remember for life! Wish we could have taken photos of all the views!
This tour was awesome and our guide Cousin G was the best! We saw so much break taking scenery!
The tour was amazing & Cousin G was fantastic. He made this a truly memorable experience for everyone.
Cousin G is the man! Wouldn’t have wanted another tour guide for the island.
My family and I had a great time! We would definitely do it again
Amazing experience for first time comers! Cousin G took us around the island and showed us popular local and tourist spots, best of the best. Friendly and hilarious throughout the trip. Would definitely recommend.
Our guide, cousin G made all the difference. His knowledgable and witty commentary brought it all to life. He got everyone on the tour to interact with each other.
Perfect day trip. A lot to explore. Cousin G well experienced and exceptional tour guide. Highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing time on the north shore. Swimming in Waimea falls was the highlight.
We were picked up from the Aulani Disney Hotel & driven to Oahu to get on the Surf Bus Tour. There were 23 people on our bus, we were comfy though. We chose Waimea Falls & Kayaking…. Along the way, we stopped at the Macadamia Nut Farm and a cool fruit stand. Cousin G is so kind, funny and informative. We really enjoyed our day. Thank you! :)
This was a full day of adventure! Cousin G was an excellent Tour guide who gave amazing advice and insight on the adventures we had. Cost was phenomenal, with the amount of attractions we went to. Highly recommend. Love that you have multiple destinations options within the tour. Every one was friendly and the bus was comfortable, and it wasn’t overcrowded! Best Tour of the Vacation!
We had a great experience visiting several local spots all along the coast of Oahu. Our tour guide Eric was very knowledgeable about the island and always had an interesting story to share for each landmark we passed by along the route.
