The North Shore of O‘ahu is world-renowned for its legendary surf and cultural heritage, and North Shore Eco Tours offers visitors an in-depth way to explore the region, says the O‘ahu Visitors Bureau.
The tours combine ‘adventure with education’, and feature a focus on conservation, sustainability and Hawaiian stewardship practices.
For active clients, it has hiking adventures exploring the North Shore’s coastal trails, valleys, and forested areas. Options include the four-hour Huaka‘i Iki—The Little Hiking Adventure, an 11km hike exploring rainforests, with high lights including the chance to swim in a mountain pool and learn about Hawaiian culture.
It is open to those aged 10 years and older and priced from USD110pp (around $187).
. . . Off-road Adventure
For the thrillseekers there’s off-road adventures such as the two-and-a- half hour Pua Pua‘a—Piglet ATV Adventure. Guests explore the jungle in an off-road, multi-passenger ‘piglet ATV’ which can each seat up to six passengers.
This option is family-friendly for those with school-age children aged five years and older. Prices start from USD298 for one adult and one child, around $506.
For something a little different there’s a 90-minute Manakuke Mongoose ATV, which takes clients to explore the North Shore’s agri cultural lands via an Israeli-made EZRAIDER electric ATV. This option is open only to those aged 18+, with prices from USD129, or $219.
The experiences are customisable; clients can opt for shorter hikes or longer explorations and have the option to combine hiking with cultural workshops, farm visits, or local tastings. See more HERE.
