The Surf Bus runs Hawaii's original North Shore activities tour—a 9-hour north shore tour Honolulu adventure that gets you off the bus and into the action. Instead of just driving past Oahu's famous surf breaks, you'll actually experience them.
Starting with Waikiki hotel pickup, we cruise along the stunning East Side coastline to the legendary waves of Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay. Here's where things get interesting: you choose your own adventure. Snorkel in crystal-clear waters, try stand-up paddleboarding, grab a surfboard, or kayak along the coast. Prefer staying dry? Hop on a bicycle and explore. Bodyboarding is another popular option.
Our stop in Historic Haleiwa Town gives you a taste of old Hawaii. These plantation-era buildings now house art galleries, local shave-ice stands, and unique shops worth browsing. You can continue with water activities here or simply soak up the town's laid-back vibe.
The tour includes admission to Waimea Valley (a $25 value), though keep in mind it's closed Mondays from October 1st through November 25th. We provide cooler space for your belongings, and if you're getting hungry, you can skip one activity for lunch instead.
What makes this north shore tour Honolulu experience special? It welcomes all ages and provides all the gear you need. No surfboard? No problem. Never snorkeled before? We've got you covered. The bus handles round-trip transportation from Waikiki hotels, so you can focus on having fun.
We offer full refunds with 48-hour cancellation notice, plus weather-related cancellations get full refunds too. For cancellations or specific questions about this comprehensive north shore tour Honolulu adventure, contact the operator directly.
