It was named one of the “20 of the World’s Most Beautiful Buddhist Temples,” by National Geographic for its architectural details and awe-inspiring surroundings.
  • Tropical Farms - Famously known as “The Little Country Store on Your Way to the North Shore.” What started as a tiny roadside operation in 1987 is now a great place to try different local snacks and learn how to crack open some macadamia nuts while the farmstand's chickens wait nearby hoping you drop a nut or two.
  • North Shore Lunch Stop - Your driver will update you on the daily menu and determine a great place for everyone to enjoy a delicious lunch before driving alongside the world-famous North Shore Oahu coastline on our way to the next adventure.
  • Swim in beautiful pools under cascading waterfalls in HawaiiWaimea Valley - Follow your tour guide on a short hike to a 45′ waterfall (seasonal) where you can swim in the pool below. Learn about the ancient history of Waimea Valley and why it’s considered to be a very significant and religious site.
