They picked me up on time, and were great at making sure I got to my destination in the north shore of Oahu, and getting me back to Waikiki!!

Aiko was my driver and he was simply one of the best examples of customer service. Simply so amazing sharing with us lots of facts about hawai’i on the drive and going out of his way to accommodate all of us. He made the experience very great and I highly recommend this company because of him. Thanks again mahalo!

Really great and professional shuttle service to the North Shore! Shout out to the driver who was really awesome, pointing out names of beaches and areas of interest in the North Shore. We were able to book a last minute trip and I think the price is extremely reasonable for a round trip. We went to Sunset Beach and Haleiwa town, with plenty of time to explore. 10/10!

Highly recommend! Great shuttle service to the North Shore. Easy to book and on time for pick up. Akio (?) was our driver and he was fantastic. Super enthusiastic, knowledgeable and personable, he added some nice humour, pointed out key locations along the way, and some recommendations at Haleiwa!

Great service - our driver was friendly and professional, van was clean and air conditioned, the service was easy to book and ran on time. When we got to town our driver gave us a quick tour and pointed out spots of interest. Highly recommend! Let someone else worry about traffic and parking!

Really awesome experience! We had an amazing experience booking a shuttle from Waikiki to North Shore! The driver was awesome and pointed out areas of the North Shore to us on the way. He also showed us a photography book! of We did not want to rent a car, so the shuttle was a great way to visit North Shore beaches and Haleiwa town without taking too much time on the public bus. We went during the slower season so there were still seats open on the shuttle, and we’re able to book last minute. I think the price is very reasonable for a round trip. Tip the driver well because they definitely deserve it.

A good day trip to Haleiwa. We took Wildlife Hawaii’s North Shore Shuttle to Haleiwa. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Resort and were picked up, on time at 11 am, on Koa Avenue. Our thanks to our driver, Akio, who would mention facts and point out places of interest on the way to the North Shore. Besides the shuttle. the company does a wildlife cruise and photographic tour.We arrived in Haleiwa around 12.15 pm and were dropped off near Haleiwa Harbour and picked up, at 5 pm in Haleiwa town. While waiting for the other customers Akio, who is a photographer and artist, chatted with us and showed us photos and artwork he made.We booked the shuttle before we went to Oahu and are very happy. Wildlife Hawaii provide a good and friendly service. Akio, you’re a star!

Great day out This saved us do much more time to explore the town of Haleiwa and the beach around from it, Lanikai where we swam with turtles!!The drive though costlier than the bus only took an hour to the North Shore and our driver pointed out items and places of interest along the way. We had a full 5 hours here but we got on a bus once dropped off for $3 each to the next beach where we swam before exploring Haleiwa. Visited Giovanni's shrimp truck for a snack, area was pretty busy then visited several shops before gelato and coffee before meeting back at the shuttle bus.

Totally Fantastic North Shore Experience Firstly, the booking process was easy. We were aware that the Pipeline Pro surfing contest was being held and we did not want to be dependent on the slow "The Bus" service. We booked a Wildlife Tour service. Pick up and drop off location options were available. I left my camera on the bus. I was able to contact the driver to secure it for pick up on our return trip. The driver drove in a safe manner and we felt safe as passengers. We were sitting directly behind the driver and were able to communicate with him throughout the journey. I would suggest that a microphone be installed so the driver could communicate with all passengers. Mahalo

Great way to get to the North Shore, quick and easy A really great way to get to the North Shore. We didn’t want a guided tour but wanted to go to the beaches and explore on our own. Our guide was lovely and very informative and pointed out the sights along the way, nice to to be constrained by a full on tour but nice to get a mini bus up there. Highly recommended if you want to explore in your own party ☀️🌺🌊
