An Incredible and Unforgettable Adventure! Huakaʻi Nui ~ The Big Hiking Adventure was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and it was a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Hawaiʻi. Be aware that this is a demanding hike. It is challenging and requires a good level of fitness, so I would definitely recommend coming prepared. That said, the experience and incredible scenery make the effort completely worthwhile. Our guide was simply the best! Knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, and genuinely passionate about Hawaiʻi, our guide made the entire experience exceptional. We felt well cared for throughout the hike and could not have asked for anyone better to lead us. If you enjoy hiking and are ready for a challenge, I highly recommend Huakaʻi Nui. It was a memorable adventure and one of the highlights of our trip! read more

Awesome experience Ryan did an amazing job being a tour guide and good company! Seeing that area of the Hawaii forests was super cool and definitely something I'll never forget. Just note the rocks in the water are much more slippery than you think trust me on that one. We did the short hike and it was awesome going through the different areas and taking a swim at the pond area. If you have spare time and want to see some really cool scenery this is a must-do event! read more

Ryan did an amazing job as our tour guide! The pace was excellent and he was very attentive to any questions that we had, along with giving us a lot of cool facts and information about plants and things that we had encountered on the hike. The hike itself was absolutely gorgeous with lots of beautiful views and is definitely worth it in my opinion. I would definitely go back next time I'm in Hawaii! read more

This was my husband and I's favorite experience during our vacation this week on Oahu. I loved this trip and highly recommend doing the ATV tour. It was such an adventure and even though it was muddy on the trail, we had the time of our lives. Thanks again to our amazing tour guide today. We had an amazing time and would absolutely come and do this tour again and again! Can't wait to do it again with our 3 kids next time years down the road! read more

We had Ryan and he was the best.I learned so much from it. Ryan was so nice.it was so much fun

I've been trying to line up our schedules to go on this tour...so finally, we got to go out on the atv with Keola , our guide this morning. We met up at the base yard, and Keola explained the where, what, and hows of everything we were gonna do with an emphasis on safety. They also have radio communications with all vehicles...but It was just him and us this morning, and we had a great outing; heading out to the hills above Hale'iwa, Keola leading the way with us following behind-you can choose to ride with a guide or drive yourself and follow; we chose the latter. It was a beautiful sunny day, hot in the sunshine, but cool once under the tree canopy and there were still quite a few muddy bog spots the atv's had no problem powering through on 4x4 Low mode-truthfully, it'd probably be more fun in the rainWe also got to see a little baby piglet ran across the road right in front of us; and we got to pick some strawberry guavas off the trees alongside the road, and got to gather some huge mangoes that had fallen as we passed the mango orchard-unfortunately we forgot them in the back of the atv but pretty sure Keola would have found them We had a super morning! Thank you North Shore Eco tours read more

Yesterday my wife had booked our little family an atv ecotour. I didn't know what to expect personally but once we arrived our tour guide Ryan warmly greeted us and made the whole check in process super smooth. This experience was magical. He knows so much about the island, its history and the local wildlife. Conservation and nature is a passion for our family and it was amazing to connect with someone that knew so much! The thing that made the experience over the top is the extra time Ryan spent answering my daughter's many questions and including her. We would love to do this tour with Ryan again when we return to Oahu and brave the giant mud puddle once again! read more

North Shore EcoTours - ATV off-roading in the mud - Hiking Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

This was a super fun adventure. Kaleo was a great tour guide. He gave us lots of tips for riding the ATV and lots of facts about what we were looking at on the tour. We saw wild pigs with baby piglets! You should absolutely wear water/washable shoes. Hawaii rains a lot and you ride through mud. I found mud in my hair along with all my clothing items. And don't come after getting your hair blown out or before a fancy dinner. You will leave dirty. The ATV was a blast. Worth it! read more

Shoutout to Keola for an amazing ATV experience! We were a group of 8, and it felt like a great mix of ATV riding and learning about the Hawaiian ecosystem. The overall ATV experience was by far the best I've had in awhile. There were a handful of moments we got to cruise and do some off-roading. When we made stops, Keola taught us about the the types of trees, plants, and fruits that are native to Hawaii. He also took photos and videos for us and was an overall super nice guy! We learned a lot about the Hawaiian language and got a mini history and geography lesson. You can definitely tell Keola is passionate about preserving Oahu's ecosystem and it was great to hear about the efforts EcoTours does aside from their ATV rides. Overall, I will definitely come back here to volunteer when I'm back in Oahu! My friends and I like to visit Hawaii and I would love to do more and give back to an island that's taken care of us. Thank you Keola! read more

This was the highlight of a week long trip for all of us. Our guide, Ryan, was sharing so much info about the islands, the history and the plant & animals along the hike. It was exactly the type of hike we hoped for. He was also great giving tips and tricks along the way to keep everyone feeling safe and confident. I am usually scared of heights, but this was a breeze thanks to Ryan! The lunch included was really good. There were backpacks, snacks and water available to us as well. I feel like they really care about their guests having the best possible time and learning to appreciate the island. We will recommend them in the future and if we return, we'd take another one of the hikes or adventures they offer. The land is private owned, so there is no usual trail traffic. It really was the best part of our trip to Hawaii! (Ask Ryan for recommendations in the area to eat, we took his advice and had some good food and treats after our hike!) read more

Kahlúa are tour guide was amazing. The place it self is located at North shore. We got to explore private Hawaii grounds and farms. The place has plenty of parking. They have a porta-potty and sink to wash your hands. It was such a great experience. I highly recommend it. Note: North Shore EcoTours has exclusive access to private conservation lands, which means that visitors can enjoy an excluded experience. This is why the experience is so unique. read more

This was the best experiences I've ever had in Hawaii or anywhere. We reserved for today (Saturday) at 9am. Our guide, Kegan, was phenomenal. He's a biology student who knows everything about Hawaii, its indigenous plants and fruits, the trees, the invasive plants and the fascinating history of this beautiful place. He explained everything about the vehicles thoroughly and concisely. He encouraged us to really have a good time and we did. We had our own ATV and we communicated through radios. He made sure we were enjoying ourselves. We stopped for pics and to taste fruits. It was a real adventure! He took us all over the farmlands, hills, valleys, streams and we had the best time. It's not for the faint of heart, although I'm sure he could tame it down if people ask. We wanted to go fast and get bounced around. He introduced us to new fruits, showed us beautiful orchids and told us all about his family, military service and his life here. I cannot say enough about this adventure. It was spectacular. At the end, we were exhausted and very happy. We will definitely book this on our next trip. Thank you again to Kegan. (I've already forgotten your beautiful Hawaiian name, but we will remember you!!) read more

We had a blast on the EZRaider Mongoose Atv tour. I liked that the orientation was hands on and gradually released us to explore the capability of the ATVs. Our guides were awesome coaches on the use of the ATVs and knowledgeable about the local land. The guides were patient and encouraging and made the tour inviting and enjoyable. I would recommend North Shore EcoTours to anyone looking for an off roading experience on Oahu and the ATV mongoose tour for anyone looking for a unique ATV experiance. read more

Kegan was an AWESOME tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and passionate, which we loved! Definitely worth the drive and would definitely recommend him and North Shore Ecotours. My husband and I had a blast! read more

We've done the Kualoa Jurassic ATV tour on our previous Oahu trip and we wanted to do something different this time around.  I have to admit the scenery is better at Kualoa, however the ATV itself and the intimacy of the North Shore Eco Tour exceeded my expectations. I have very sensitive motion sickness issues, at Kualoa I was super dizzy if I'm the passenger and not the driver. Here I have no problem at all because the ATVs are more stable and powerful.  You also get a much more muddy and fun ride here. Our ATV had a mount in the front for our Go Pro camera so it was perfect.  Face mask is not required outdoors, but you will probably want it for the wind and dust! There was only us and another small family of 2 adults and 2 girls.  We also had a break in the middle with drinks, cookies, pineapple slices and mac nuts.  Just a warning: the bathroom on this tour is what you see in nature.  So plan accordingly. Our guide was informative in taking us around the mountains, the taro farm, showing us different fruit trees, and interacting during the tour with walkie talkies provided on the ATV. The tour started around 9:30am, and we were back just before 1pm. Overall a fun morning and we got to enjoy Big Wave shrimp plates and Shark's Cove nearby afterwards. read more

We had the ATV tour today with Keoki and it was probably one of the best tours I've been on in my life. He was friendly, funny, personable, knowledgeable, great with kids, and gave us a lot of knowledge bombs about his native home Oahu. The experience itself was great, and my 8 year old son and I are still grinning half a day later. Great tour. Great staff. Will use them again! read more

Ryan rocks!!!! We did the three hour Wild Boar tour today. We were actually out for four hours. Crazy fun. They advertise it as a rough off-road ride through Hawaii but it's really a whole lot more. The company specializes in conservation and this is one way they teach people about Hawaii and it's natural history. We learned so much about the native and non-native plants and animals here. It was fascinating. How the Hawaiians themselves and others have brought so many non-native plants and animals here, some ending up good and others bad. If you're looking for a great way to spend some time, go off-roading, and learn a helluva lot, book this tour. We were really impressed. Note that there are several pretty rough patches on the route and you will get dusty and dirty. But that's part of the fun. So dress accordingly. read more

This is an absolute must if you have time! We did the two and a half ARV tour and Keola, our guide was the absolute best! He was extremely knowledgeable about the trees and wildlife and provided so much rich history. The ATV was easy to navigate and to be able to be in the mountains and see all of the gorgeous landscape was breathtaking. We were able to pick wild strawberry guava off the tree and eat it right off the tree... such a memorable experience!!! read more

Our Oahu trip was the first week in November and I haven't taken a second until now to do anything with all of our pictures or writing reviews etc etc We were busy every day for a week - did a LOT of great things. Our ATV tour is one of out top two activities! (The other is Pearl Harbor & Aviation Museum.) I think my husband and son only agreed to the pinzgauer atv ride because they knew I wanted to do it -- but we all three had a blast. The tour was fun, educational, and exciting. It was November 4th - just before the real rainy season started; even though it rained overnight and did some sprinkling all morning, we did not get covered in mud. We saw beautiful views the whole ride. Our guide was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. I don't know if he read his audience well or he was a perfect match for us - but he gave us the perfect amount of information - a lot! Without ever being boring or 'too much' about anything. We learned what we were looking at but also where and when some of the plants came from. He was great about answering questions. We loved learning, too, about the environmental work that North Shore EcoTours does. I would recommend this tour for anyone interested in going on an ATV ride and/or learning more about the flora and history of the flora in Oahu. Fabulous! read more

Great experience here! Ryan was our driver and definitely gave us a great funfilled experience. He's very knowledgable about O'ahu and the vegetation growing on the land. He was great with the kids, answering all those questions!! Thanks for the playground excitement! read more

Beautiful views on the @northshoreecotours Celebrating our 9th year of our Wedding Anniversary and my husband did not disappoint when choosing the ATV tour today Our tour guide Ryan was beyond AWESOME! His knowledge on the land, it's history and native plants as well as many other things was incredible. As a local here it was nice to embrace all the wonderful things that make Hawaii an amazing and beautiful place... we even learned a handful of things we never knew! There's never a cap limit on knowledge and education! He was very patient with the group and his interaction made the overall experience EXCELLENT!! We love everything that North Shore Ecotours stands for and we're excited for all the new adventures being planned and in process to come into fruition. We have lots of friends and a big family and I can't express enough how excited we are to come back with everyone! Mahalo North Shore Ecotours! Cabana Ohana read more

Need an excuse to get dirty then you gotta ride the mongoose ezrider. We had a blast with our tour guide Ryan. He made sure we knew how to maneuver the atv before we headed out. We got to ride some smooth roads, some dirt roads and the best was cruising through the farm. We got to see some fruit including avocados, bananas, mangos, papaya, and beautiful scenery. We were able to go at our own speed which was great for our group because some liked slow and steady while some liked fast and fish tailing it. He took lots of pictures for us and even caught a rainbow. read more

Ryan our hiking guide was amazing! His knowledge and compassion for the environment was contagious. He took us on an amazing hike (the other party had a very grumpy teenager). Ryan made sure we were engaged and answered all our questions. He made sure everyone was kept safe (returning through the rivers that had increased 6-8 inches due to rain). He was personable and I hope to go back for another hike. Thank you for allowing us to see such a beautiful part of Hawaii on such a private hike. read more

We did the Wild Boar Excursion yesterday with Keola and North Shore Eco Tours and our boys are still talking about how awesome it was! There is something for everyone--our military lover enjoyed the stop at the pillbox and history on this part of the island during WWII, our adventure guy loved the land surfing, and we all enjoyed all the history, culture, and conservation information Keola shared. We loved how much he loves this beautiful place. What a great way to spend the afternoon--highly recommend it! read more

The Kualoa Jurassic ATV tour was booked so I ended up calling around for ATV tours. It cost more than the Jurassic tour but at the end it was worth every penny. Keoki was an awesome guide he had use smiling from the start to the end. My 7 year old son loved the scenery as it was just like in Jurassic park minus the dinosaurs. We did this in summer where it was dry so it was hella dusty. It was a ~2hr tour Ko Ko had lost of local knowledge of the area shared it though out the tour, he lead us to the top of the hill where we had drinks and snakes. We continue to explore the jungle and jumped some hills. read more

Having been born and raised on Oahu and now living in California, I wanted to bring my daughter back to my home and share the island with her. Having lived here before, I knew I didn't want a typical tourist attraction. I was lucky enough to find North Shore EcoTours online and after looking at what they do, I booked us immediately! I was not disappointed! Our hike was guided by Pono, who is extremely knowledgeable, kind and focused on our safety and good time. We learned so much about plants and culture and walked away feeling like we could have stayed all day. I would highly recommend this company!!! read more

Looks can certainly be deceiving when you pull up the address to check in but this off road tour was unlike anything I've ever done. Our tour guide Keoki truly made the experience. You get to see places on the island you wouldn't normal be able to go to and the views are incredible. Be warned it's very dusty and I would recommend googles over sunglasses and maybe some kind of face covering to keep the dust out of your nose and lungs. Otherwise I HIGHLY recommend this tour while on the island read more
