Oahu Adventure Tour Details
If you want to see the whole island without taking a bus or want a custom itinerary, this tour is for you. A completely customizable experience from a full-day action-packed adventure that never stops to the foodie’s laid-back sightseeing dream.
During the booking process, you will complete a short survey to judge your adventure level and pick the activities you want to do (kayak, SUP, hike, waterfall swim). The guide will then call you a few days before your tour to review details and options.
Pick your adventure with a combination of waterfall swims, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, good food, and more! This is not a pre-packaged deal where every group gets the same experience, they know the land, the best spots, and where all the fun is.
Their tours are private, so they’re limited to only people in your party. You get your guide(s), plus photos and transportation are included in the price. So really you’re getting a personal guide, photographer, and chauffeur. You may not be famous, but don’t let that stop you from experiencing Oahu like you are!
You can even keep the party going and book multiple days with them. They had the same group go out with them for 11 days, which is WILD. You could do that, or take a day or two with Mahina Hawaii and spend a few with us through our Oahu Itinerary, you have options.
Watch our day out with the owner Ryan, and see if this is the right tour for you. Reminder, you can customize your day to include anything you want to do or what Ryan recommends for your group. Ryan helped us add to our list of the best Oahu Waterfalls when he showed us Kapena Falls, where we’d never been before!
If a full-day trip isn’t in the cards or you want to get your feet wet first, they have more options available. On their Half Day Adventure, your day starts at 9 am for about 4 hours of paddleboarding and hiking. Just like their Full Day Adventure, this is customizable to your group.
If you have a few hours and want to hop on a SUP or in a kayak? They’ve got you covered there, too. Spend 2 hours learning or exploring with their SUP/Kayak activity. If you’re brand new, make it a lesson, or if you’ve got a good grasp on what you’re doing, make it an adventure tour.
If you’ve had enough water activities or want a hiking experience you can’t get elsewhere, book a 2 hour hiking tour. Get the lay of the land from the people who have done all the trails and know the best spots.
