KoOlina to North Shore: Waimea Falls & Dole
Overview
It’s Your Day — Your Way on O‘ahu’s North Shore
Experience the original North Shore activities tour, locally owned and operated for a more authentic O‘ahu adventure. With more time off the bus than any other tour, this experience is designed for travelers who want to explore, not just sightsee.
The Surf Bus lets you choose your activities between Snorkeling, Waimea falls or Bike Riding on the day of your tour depending on what you feel like. Rental gear OR Admission to the Falls is included, so there’s nothing extra to plan or stress about.
Enjoy free time at historic Hale‘iwa Town, where you’ll have time for:
Lunch, Shop Local, Try the famous Matsumoto Shave-ice.
We'll end the day with a stop at the Dole Plantation before getting back to the hotel.
Freedom to explore. Flexibility to choose.
That’s the Surf Bus difference.
