Itinerary and highlights
Embark on a thrilling wildlife adventure across Oahu, starting with a scenic drive from Waikiki to the island’s untamed North Shore in a powerful off-road vehicle. Traverse lush landscapes and hidden valleys, witnessing native birds, endangered species, and possibly the rare Hawaiian monk seal. From December to April, keep watch for migrating humpback whales. Enjoy breathtaking views of Oahu’s dramatic coastline, cliffs, and the Pacific Ocean. Visit a local coffee farm and pineapple plantation to sample Hawaii’s famous flavors. Discover iconic filming locations from Hollywood hits like Blue Crush, Hawaii Five-O, and especially Lost, with a guided visit to its original set.
Whilst our itinerary is somewhat flexible and your guide will be attentive to your needs and preferences throughout the day, our first port of call is usually historic Haleiwa Town. Known as the gateway to the North Shore, you will discover its rich cultural heritage, including ties to the sugarcane and pineapple industries, and enjoy the laid-back vibe of this surfing mecca.
