We got sick of the crowds at Waikiki so we took a trip on the surf bus to the north shore for the day. You can choose from a number of different things you can do on the trip, surfing, biking, paddle board, snorkeling...ect. The surf was flat on the day we went so we just snorkeled around shark bay,... more

I had a good time on the Surf Bus but it was not really what I expected based on the web-site. For one thing, the tour is VERY laid-back. I thought it would be a lot more organized but it's very casual and you kind of choose what you want to do as you go along. We went on Jan.... more

If you are looking for an easy and laid back way to get up to the north shore this is certainly for you. My fiancé and I took the trip on Monday September 15, 2008. We had a very good time. I took a surf lesson while my fiancé chilled on the beach with another tour participant. We saw about... more

Recently went to Oahu on vacation and went on the North Shore Surf Bus. It was great. The bus picks you up at the hotel and takes you on a scentic drive to the north shore of Oahu, HI. During the ride, Justin, the bus driver and owner, tells you the history about Hawaii. My two boys (9 and 14)... more

A friend and I took The Surf Bus tour of Oahu's North Shore on Mon 22nd Oct 2007. We found out about the tour from a brochure in our hotel lobby. After investigating the alternatives - the local bus (a bargain at $2, but would take over 2 hours to get there) and hiring a car (a little scary for... more

I wanted to take my 14 year old daughter on a day trip to the North Shore from Waikiki and this was the perfect tour -and a rather original concept. They pick you up at your hotel and take you on a tour to the North Shore while providing a very interesting history of the area along the way. Once... more
