What is Haleiwa?
Haleiwa is Oahu's iconic North Shore surf town — a charming, laid-back beach community famous for its historic plantation-era buildings, boutique shops, and legendary big-wave surf breaks just offshore. It's also home to some of the island's best shave ice, a beloved local treat you won't want to miss. Every Royal Star Hawaii island bus tour includes real time to explore this beloved stop on foot.

An absolute wonderful tour
An absolute wonderful tour company. Our driver Lola was an absolute gem and perky all the way through. We did the Ultimate Pearl Harbor package which included the air museum so unfortunately we didn't get to drive back with our original tour bus but we were told that a second bus will be waiting for us since our package goes longer…

Pearl Harbour humbling experience
Collected on time by Kimi, who enthusiastically gave us a great running commentary on the way with lots of interesting local facts. Pearl Harbour gave a real feel for what happened there at the start of WWII and the running up to it with what was happening in Europe at the time. 5* experience and value for money.

We joined Marlon for the Pearl Harbor tour. He was AMAZING!! So knowledgeable, kind and really kept us engaged. We learned so much about the city and felt very prepared for our time at Pearl Harbor. He had so many fun facts and just has a lovely spirit! Thanks Marlon for a wonderful day in paradise. 🤙
