Spend a full day on Oahu's North Shore and swim under the 45-foot Waimea Valley waterfall. This easy, family-friendly tour pairs a walk through one of Hawaii's great botanical gardens with breakfast, lunch, and a Dole Plantation stop, and a round-trip ride picks you up near the hostel so there is no need to drive.
Adults 12+ $134, Children 3 to 12 $114. Round-trip Waikiki pickup, breakfast, and lunch included.
This is a full day up on Oahu's North Shore, built around a swim at the Waimea Valley waterfall. A comfortable ride picks you up in Waikiki and starts the morning with a light breakfast and coffee at Green World Coffee Farm, then heads into historic Waimea Valley. The walk to the falls is easy, about 1.5 miles round-trip on a mostly paved, flat path through one of Hawaii's great botanical gardens, so it works for just about everyone.
The valley is a living collection of Hawaiian plants and culture, with 52 themed gardens, thousands of tropical species, and traditional Hawaiian sites along the way. At the end of the trail the 45-foot waterfall drops into a wide pool where you can swim when conditions allow. Lifeguards are on duty and life vests, changing rooms, and showers are all provided, so it is a relaxed, family-friendly swim rather than anything adventurous. Bring reef shoes, since the rocks around the pool can be slippery.
Lunch is a fresh, local-style wrap served in the valley, with a choice of chicken Caesar, veggie, or spicy shrimp. On the way back to Waikiki the tour stops at the famous Dole Plantation, and you head home in the mid-afternoon. It is an easy way to see the North Shore, swim under a waterfall, and learn a little about Hawaiian culture, all in one day with no driving of your own.
The full day runs about 7.5 hours with round-trip transport. Pickup times, the order of stops, and the waterfall swim can shift with the group, the season, and the weather, so check your confirmation.
Wear comfortable walking shoes for the garden path and bring your swimsuit under your clothes for the waterfall. Pack a towel, a change of clothes, reef-safe sunscreen, and bug spray, and reef shoes help on the slippery rocks around the pool.
There is no need to drive.
