It’s Your Day — Your Way on O‘ahu’s North Shore

Experience the original North Shore activities tour, locally owned and operated for a more authentic O‘ahu adventure. With more time off the bus than any other tour, this experience is designed for travelers who want to explore, not just sightsee.

The Surf Bus lets you choose your activities on the day of the tour, once you see ocean conditions and available options. All activity rental gear is included, so there’s nothing extra to plan or stress about.

Enjoy up to 1.5 hours in historic Hale‘iwa Town, where you’ll have time for:
Lunch and Shop Local. Matsumoto Shave-ice. Optional kayaking or SUP with the chance to see Hawaiian green sea turtles .

Choose how active—or relaxed—you want your day to be, with options such as snorkeling, kayaking, biking, waterfall visits, or simply exploring at your own pace.

Freedom to explore. Flexibility to choose. More time off the bus.
That’s the Surf Bus difference.
