KDJ Faithful Travelers - The driver was very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. We enjoyed the coffee and chocolate factory. If you have time, once you get off the cruise ship, I highly recommend taking a private tour to visit other parts of the islands in Hawaii.

Personal attention - Husband and I had a great time. Seamus was pleasant and knowledgeable. Shared his knowledge about the Hawaiin culture in easily understandable fashion. We took our time and it felt like a personalized trip. Hiked to then Swam in the waterfall, watched the sea turtles and a local coffee and chocolate visit. Enjoyed shrimp lunch at Jenny’s shrimp truck.

Lovely Day - Seamus knew so much about the areas we visited and he was also laid back so we didn’t feel rushed. It was a great day of exploration w/ friendly conversation along the way!

My family (with kids ages... - My family (with kids ages 15 and 11) had the absolute best time on this tour! From start to finish, everything was so well organized and stress-free. Seamus was warm, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating stories about Hawaiian history and culture that really brought each stop to life. The scenery was breathtaking — I especially loved walking through Waimea Park and swimming with the sea turtles. The lunch at Jenny's shrimp truck was sooo delicious. The pace was perfect, with just the right amount of activity and time to relax. Thank you so much Seamus for the amazing memories. Would highly recommend to anyone.

just like the spirit of hawaii - The tourguide is a very very kind soul and was super comfortable. In no second we felt like we‘re in a rush - everything went super smoothly. He gave us alot of tips and insights into the hawaiian beauty.

Perfect North Shore Tour! - Perfect North Shore tour. Coffee/chocolate place was interesting and had a great gift shot. Waimea Falls/Botanical Gardens was beautiful (there is no falls right now so you can't swim, but that's not the guides fault). Lunch at Jenny's in Haleiwa was delicious. The beach was lovely as well. Seamus was a very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable guy. Highly recommend!

Family trip - So I rated a 1, because we didn’t really get to see much. The tour guide from the beginning already had his mind set on where to take us. I just wished when we voiced what we wanted to do it was listened to.
