Dont miss this - Great time. Seamus was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating., ssid it was our day and he meant it. Trip to the falls was amazing. We got to swim up to the waterfall multiple times. We had lunch at Jennys shrimp truck at the North Dhore, amazing. And lastly we got to swim with turtles. Our first attempt at snorkeling but we enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this trip.

Totally amazing day!! - Seamus...Chappy was our tour guide. He was amazing and very knowledgeable! Sandy girl his sidekick, was pretty special too! We had an amazing day from start to finish! I have to say the shrimp at the shrimp truck is the best I've ever had! I'm a turtle lover and Seamus did not disappoint! He took us to see them! We even saw one resting on the shore as well as several swimming around our feet! Just perfect!!

Beautiful falls and gardens. - Beautiful falls. It is a botanical garden as well. There is a bit of a walk to the falls but definitely worth it. They do have a shuttle also. There are lush plants that are native to Hawaii surround the entire area. Many great picture opportunities. Make sure to take a swimsuit to get in the water at the falls.

Great tour for families - Our island tour was a family hit! The friendly guide shared fascinating history and traditions. We learned about coffee & chocolate making (delicious tasting!), hiked to the stunning Waimea Falls (refreshing swim!), and swam alongside sea turtles on the North Shore (in a shallow and calm water). Perfect for families with or without children and even solo travelers – highly recommend!

North Shore excursion - Spent the day touring the North Shore with Shamus as our guide. We ended up having a private tour. The weather didn’t start out great, but got better as the day progressed. We attempted Waimea Falls, but there was no swimming due to the weather, so we decided to forego that. The tour was very much on the fly. Shamus was willing to do whatever we wanted and suggested some places for us. We stopped and swam with turtles. Had some good shrimp at Jenny‘s shrimp truck. Visited a macadamia nut farm. And basically got a tour of what seemed like the entire North Shore. It was a great day and Shamus was a great guide. Very friendly and outgoing. I would book with them again in the future.

Totally ruined our last day trip in Hawaii - The worst booking agency ever. We received a $300 confirmation number and booking code. Checked out of our hotel, stored our bags in lockup and waited one hour for pickup. They failed to confirm our day with a driver.
