A Day Well Spent with Kurt and Harry - Kurt and Harry gave us a wonderful day of learning about Oahu and specifically the Norte Shore, snorkeling with turtles, and seeing some beautiful sites beyond the city of Honolulu. The tour was equal parts fun and informative, and the smaller scale meant that we were able to enjoy the day in a relaxed and intimate setting. 10/10 recommend the tour and would book with this team again in a snap!

Refreshing experience - Justin showed us many of the attractions and related stories throughout the route. The trip was physically non-demanding. We has a great day to relax and actually to see some turtles (and chickens and cats)! Would recommend

Great Experience - This was certainly one of the highlights of our vacation. Nevin, our tour guide was fantastic sharing his vast knowledge and history of the island. His pleasant, fun, and accommodating manner made the trip enjoyable for all. Loved his ukulele playing during many of our stops. Our driver was also excellent. We loved all the stops, the photo opportunities, lunch and especially snorkeling. Loved the short tour of Honolulu. with its history and beauty. Would highly recommend this tour, esp. with Nevin.
