Pupukea North Shore Cultural Exploration Tour

With over seven years of experience guiding guests through this tropical paradise, I am thrilled to share the beauty and wonder of our island with you. This tour is rich in history and culture, offering a uniquely immersive experience.
Tour begins with a pick-up from agreed rendezvous point. As we embark on our journey, enjoy a narrated tour where we'll explore breathtaking lookouts from the stunning Ko'olau Mountains.

We will head to the famous North Shore, where you'll visit coffee farms, pineapple plantations, pristine beaches, and macadamia nut farms. This leg of the trip also includes a lunch and a quick shopping break in Hale'iwa, a charming, secluded town on the North Shore that has managed to maintain its unique identity.

We’ll then cruise along the Windward Coast, taking in views of the Kaneohe Coastline and the majestic Ko’olau Mountains. As we cross over the Pali, we'll visit landmarks such as the State Capitol, I'olani Palace, and King Kamehameha statue.
