Honolulu Outdoor Activities

It was a fun tour, and Andrew is the best, so funny and knowledgeable, and also the best photographer.

This was such a good day out. I didn’t hire a car for my trip to Oahu so wanted to find a daytrip where I could see a bit more of the island than just Waikiki. This trip had a bit of everything - Waimea Falls was great and we got there nice and early so we were the first ones there. We saw some beautiful viewpoints and got some local food. We visited a macadamia nut farm and a coffee farm where we could get free samples and buy produce.Andrew, our guide, was super nice and good fun and answered all our questions about the island as we drove around. He also took really good pictures of everyone on a proper camera and then airdropped them to us at the end of the day.It was really well organised and a brilliant way to see as much as possible in one day. Would recommend.

Day long trip Emily the host very pleasant and helpful Saw nearly all the island in Honolulu beautiful scenery mountains and beaches Emily took lots of photos for us

Emily was fun, talkative, informed and made what was a long day, a pleasure.

We had a great experience! Patrick and his crew were great. Worth every penny! Mahalo!

We absolutely loved our morning snorkel and sightseeing cruise with Ocean Joy! This was the #1 highlight of our time on O'ahu.The crew was fun, thoughtful, and all-around just a good vibe. We saw a green sea turtle, dolphins, a day octopus, and of course plenty of fish by the reef! The food was delicious, snorkel equipment clean and easy-to-use, and the boat comfortable and accommodating. The warm-water hose off after being in the salt water was a nice plus too. There were maybe just 4 or 5 other couples on board with us, so it never felt crowded.The photographer on board got so many great pics - including of us underwater! We did not hesitate at all to purchase the photo package at the end - they were so cool, and definitely worth the value of now having to worry about your own phone the entire time.We'd originally booked our cruise with a different company -- "Ko Olina Ocean Adventures" -- but then they texted us the afternoon before our tour saying they were cancelling it because they couldn't fulfill "the guest minimum" to make it worth their money... So we quickly pivoted to booking with Ocean Joy Cruises (and even saved about $50!) and are SO happy that we did! We'd choose Ocean Joy over and over again! 5 stars!

We had Wayde for our guide. He was so accommodating and had great communication before the tour. He did above and beyond on the tour with us. Highly recommend!!

I had a an amazing time with my husband. Our tour guide was Eddie and he did a great job explaining ATV to us and made it fun! Will definitely come back!

Excellent customer service very fun instructor Jackson was awesome went above and beyond thanks so much

Everyone was so sweet and it was very fun! The atv leaders let you go at your speed! Thank you so much!

I had the most amazing private tour of Oʻahu with Elf, and I cannot recommend her enough. One of the things I loved most was that she allowed me to completely customize my day. I told her I wanted to get away from the typical tourist experience and see some of the places the locals love, and she absolutely delivered.Elf is a local and a body surfer, so she had so many wonderful stories and such a unique perspective on the island. She showed me places I never would have discovered on my own and made the entire day feel more like exploring Oʻahu with a local friend than taking a traditional tour.Her kindness really stood out to me too. I had a terrible sunburn from the day before, and Elf actually stopped at her surfers’ community spot and cut fresh aloe for me to put on my burns. It was such a simple but incredibly caring gesture, and it tells you exactly the kind of person she is.We visited a local shopping center off the beaten path and a wonderful coffee shop and artist colony in Waialua. We explored beautiful Haleʻiwa and the North Shore, and she took me to Waimea Valley to see a heiau. We then visited Puʻu O Mahuka Heiau, a very special place of worship with one of the most beautiful views. Being able to experience these places while learning about the island from someone who calls Oʻahu home made them even more meaningful.And then there was lunch! Elf took me to the food truck area in Kahuku, where we ate at Kalena’s Hut. The barbecue was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Hungry Man. You may not be able to finish it, but it is exceptional! We ate our lunch underneath a beautiful plumeria tree, which somehow made the whole experience even better. The pineapple pies made by his daughter were delicious, and Kalena himself was one of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. He was simply a joy.This is exactly what I was hoping for when I asked for a private tour. I didn’t just want to check places off a sightseeing list. I wanted to experience Oʻahu through the eyes of a local, discover places I wouldn’t necessarily find on my own, meet wonderful people, hear their stories, and come home with memories that felt personal.Elf gave me exactly that and so much more. If you want to see a different, more personal side of Oʻahu, I wholeheartedly recommend spending the day with her. It was one of those special days in Hawaii that I will remember forever.More than anything, Elf is truly a good soul and a beautiful person, inside and out. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine love for her island came through in everything she did. I feel incredibly fortunate that our paths crossed, and she will always be part of some of my favorite memories of Oʻahu. 🌺

December 2024. The tour was excellent! We did a private family island tour. We were picked up at our hotel in a clean suburban suv. Perfect size vehicle for my family of 5. Our tour guide was excellent! We spent the day stopping at local sites and learning the history of Hawaii. Most notable was the Dole Pineapple Plantation, China man’s hat, lunch at the food trucks in Haleiwa Town, and a stop for Malasadas. I can’t say enough good things about this experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Such an amazing experience! We did the doors-off helicopter tour and it was definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip. My husband and son went up on one flight, and then my daughter and I went on the next. We all absolutely loved it!Flying doors-off made the experience even more incredible, the views of Oahu were breathtaking and it was such a fun way to experience the island together as a family, even on separate flights. The staff made us feel comfortable and safe from start to finish. This is one of those memories we’ll be talking about for years. 100% recommend!

Elf was absolutely amazing! We wanted to experience as much of Oahu as possible, so she recommended a North Shore tour that included incredible snorkeling, historic sites, delicious food trucks, and several must-see attractions. Her knowledge of the island is exceptional—not only does she know the history and the best places to visit, but she also shared fascinating insights into the local culture and the ongoing efforts to preserve Oahu's heritage.She also suggested a trolley tour of the southeast side of the island, which perfectly complemented our North Shore adventure. Together, the two tours gave us the feeling that we had truly explored the perimeter of Oahu while learning so much along the way.If you want to experience the authentic Oahu beyond the typical tourist stops, let Elf be your guide. You won't be disappointed!

The best experience in Hawaii!

Stephen / Sierra were awesome with us and ZipLine ! Ryan with ATV was also fun and a great guide. Everyone made it comfortable and they played great music 👍🌺♥️
