What to do and see in Haleiwa, Hawaii (HI): The Best Private Tours

October 29, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Haleʻiwa is a North Shore community and census-designated place (CDP) in the Waialua District of the island of Oʻahu, City and County of Honolulu. Haleʻiwa is located on Waialua Bay, the mouth of Anahulu Stream (also known as Anahulu River). A small boat harbor is located here, and the shore of the bay is surrounded by Haleʻiwa Beach Park (north side) and Haleʻiwa Aliʻi Beach Park (south side). Further west from the center of town is Kaiaka State Recreation Area on Kiaka Point beside Kaiaka Bay. As of the 2010 census, the CDP had a population of 3,970. It is the largest commercial center on the North Shore of the island. Its old plantation town character is preserved in many of the buildings, making this a popular destination for tourists and residents alike, visiting surfing and diving sites along the north shore.

I’ve been on many tours and this one never had you feeling bored or that things were moving too slow. All in all, many laughs and beautiful sights all day long thanks to Kurt and his desire to go above and beyond to make it memorable!

Truly the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide was exceptional in every way and extremely courteous and insightful. As far as I am concerned, this is the only tour of Oahu. The others do not compare and are very impersonal. You get what you pay for with Jimmy and ETOHI! Enjoy a true tour of Oahu that will leave you begging for more.

The team were amazing we booked last minute from overseas. They accommodated our specific requests and we were taken to parts of the island a commercial tour group wouldn’t show you. Bon Jovi was the best nothing was too much trouble and he made it a memorable adventure for all of us (incl. our teenage kids). Highly recommended
