    On this adventure you will…

    • Check in at the North Shore Marketplace, located at 66-250 Kamehameha Hwy. in Hale'iwa town. Look for the off-road vehicle near the Aloha General Store. Please report to the Hale'iwa pick-up site no later than 8:50 AM, 10 minutes before the start of the tour.
    • Experience the Ko'olau mountains from a valley of unparalleled beauty. You will see exquisite freshwater pools and the best mountain swimming on the island! The 3.5-mile trail includes 10 stream crossings and an amazing array of tropical flowers and fruits—including wild tangerines, liliko'i (passion fruit), 'ōhi'a 'ai (mountain apple), mangoes, hau (sea hibiscus) and more. It is considered one of the most delightful intermediate/advanced hikes on O'ahu.
    • Enjoy the islands through Hawaiian eyes as your expert guide shares the history, language, and mo'olelo (stories) of Hawai'i and its fascinating environment.
    • Get your swimsuit on and strap up the hiking boots—after all, the wai (water) puts the Nui (big) into this adventure!

    Guests will need to provide their own transportation to the North Shore

    For our hiking tours, we serve light and refreshing lunches that are eaten on the trail. They feature Vietnamese style summer rolls—cold wraps in rice paper with rice noodles, lettuce and veggies—with a choice of either chicken, shrimp or tofu.
