The day
How does the day work?
Coffee and a malasada start the route before coastal lookouts and a North Shore stretch built around lunch and tastings.
- 1
Pickup and coffee
After Waikiki pickup, Treasure & You offers Kona coffee and a photo area. Kahala Hotel guests join after this first stop.
- 2
Leonard's malasadas
You stop for a fresh malasada before continuing along the coast. The pastry is part of the food tasting program.
- 3
Coastal lookouts
Halona Blowhole and Makapuu provide views along the southeast coast. Makapuu's upper lookout access is restricted during repairs.
- 4
Farm and Kualoa
The drive continues to a macadamia nut farm for tastings. Kualoa Regional Park provides a shore view of Mokolii.
- 5
Lunch and fruit
Tanaka Kahuku Shrimp serves your garlic shrimp lunch. Kahuku Land Farm follows with fruit tastings and banana lumpia.
- 6
Turtles and Haleiwa
Puaena Point is a chance to see turtles before time in Haleiwa. Wildlife doesn't follow a fixed schedule, so sightings aren't promised.
The 8-hour route includes the drives and food stops. Check stop lengths with the tour team if you need time at a certain place. You return to the hotel pickup area, though some stops may become views from the bus if conditions change.
Pickup and meeting point
- Ala Moana area: Aqua Palms pickup is 8 a.m., followed by Ala Moana Hotel at 8:05 a.m. Renaissance Honolulu Hotel has an 8:10 a.m. pickup.
- Waikiki stops: Your Hyatt Regency pickup is 8:20 a.m., with Waikiki Marriott at 8:25 a.m. Treasure & You at 307 Lewers Street, suite 410, has an 8:35 a.m. pickup.
- Kahala Hotel: The Kahala Hotel collection is at 8:55 a.m. You join after the Waikiki shop visit, so that first coffee stop isn't part of your route.
- Clothing and water: Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for the short walks. Your water bottle and sun protection should come with you for the outdoor stops.
Before you book
- Pick a Waikiki pickup if you want to visit Treasure & You. The 8:55 a.m. Kahala Hotel pickup joins after that first stop.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
Choose this 8-hour food tour if your children are aged 2 and up. Your shrimp lunch is already paid for. It's a fit when tastings matter more than a swim. The tour needs at least four guests to run.
For a choice of lunch vendors, Fun Group's North Shore day costs from $99 per adult with food bought separately. E Noa's Majestic includes lunch plus temple and valley admission, from $186.39 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Families with children under 2
- Travelers expecting ocean snorkeling
- Guests needing departure regardless of minimum numbers
Good to know
Know before you go
Children must be at least 2 to join, with child tickets through age 11. An adult must travel on the booking with your family.
The departure needs four passengers in total. If that number isn't reached, you may receive a different date or a refund rather than the planned outing.
Your clothes and shoes should suit short outdoor walks. A water bottle belongs with you, along with a hat and sun protection for the stops.
The 8:55 a.m. pickup at Kahala Hotel comes after the first shop visit. Your route therefore skips Treasure & You and its coffee stop.
You can cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund. There's no refund for your cancellation after that point, even if other plans intervene.
One booking accepts 1 to 24 travelers on mobile tickets. A single person can book, while the tour still needs its minimum total passenger count to depart.
