Overview

This isn't your average North Shore Tour. Along the route, we share epic tales of Godʻs and Goddesses, Chief's, and Commoners, as well as surf stories, terms, and traditional information.

We begin this self-driving tour at the Windward Shopping Mall and give turn-by-turn directions to locations along the way. We included all the classic stops as well as some lesser known places and you can easily turn this into a food tour

Ocean and traffic conditions vary drastically, but you can typically expect calm, peaceful ocean conditions in the summer. In the winter, itʻs the exact opposite.

This self-guided GPS-led Audio Tour also includes free scavenger hunts and quizzes to enjoy during and after the trip. Audio Tour Hawaii offers professional tours by professional, local guides.
