I booked Waimea falls

I booked the Waimea Falls/North Shore tour through Bright at Atrium, and Robert was our driver and guide. Robert was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares about giving people a good experience. He really goes the extra mile and shared a lot of helpful information throughout the day. He definitely loves to talk, which makes him perfect for this kind of job because you learn a lot along the way. Unfortunately, because of the storm alerts and strong current, we were not able to go into the waterfall, which was disappointing but completely understandable for safety reasons. The botanical garden was still beautiful. We also stopped at the North Shore market area, a beach, Dole Plantation, and had lunch. The lunch was actually one of the best surprises of the tour — very affordable and delicious. I do think it would be nice if lunch were included in the tour price, since it would make the overall experience feel more complete. Overall, I really enjoyed Robert and would absolutely recommend him as a guide. He is warm, knowledgeable, caring, and you can tell he genuinely wants his guests to have a great day. For a future visit, I personally might explore some of these places on my own, but I’m glad I did the tour this time and had Robert as my guide.

Great tour. John was a...

Great tour. John was a great guide. Takes you to a lot of cool spots. The shrimp truck was great. Waimea falls was awesome but recommended hauling ass up the mountain so you have more time to swim! Would recommend this tour to anyone and think the price is extremely reasonable for the experience and transportation around Oahu.

We loved this tour

Rob was our tour guide. He kept us laughing and attentive to his stories for a full day tour. Love these tours given by natives of the area. They have the best stories and details you'd never learn from a book.
