North Shore Beach Bus, Honolulu

There are better ways to experience Oahu's natural bounty than sitting on a bus. But seamlessly traveling to a number of the island's best attractions in one day? Only needing to pack a swimsuit and sunscreen? Glimpsing scenic valleys that appeared in Jurassic Park and Lost from an air-conditioned bus?

These are the benefits North Shore Beach Bus provides to passengers picked up from all over Waikiki. With all the planning, scheduling, and traveling covered, tour-goers go on to enjoy Oahu's North Shore in more distinctive ways. Learn more about the bus's top stops:

• Banzai Pipeline: Witness the pipeline along Banzai Beach, where a reef causes the surf to break and form hollow curls of water. Daring surfers from all over the world plunge through the hollow tubes made by the waves.

• Waimea Bay: Go swimming and watch locals leap off the Jump Rock from heights that reach 20 feet. In winter, you can observe surfers take on big waves that typically rise up to 30–40 feet.

• Turtle Town: Lush greenery surrounds Tsue's Farm, where members of the Premium tour can chow down on local specialities like Kahuku shrimp. After lunch, head down to beach to spy on sea turtles and try your hand at kayaking or paddleboarding.

• Dole Plantation: Visitors have time to snap pictures of the pineapple plantation, explore the gift shop, and enjoy the famous DoleWhip soft-serve frozen dessert.

• Hanauma Bay: The final excursion is this gorgeous nature preserve. The bay was formed within a volcanic crater and now offers some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii. Guests can relax on the beach, swim in the ocean, or strap on fins and snorkels to spot tropical fish among the coral reefs.
