Your guide and owner is a mature veteran whose goal is providing luxury yet casual service to visitors who want to experience the local culture and beauty of Oahu in a relaxed atmosphere without being rushed. Riding in the only four door convertible on the island able to carry 4 passengers and driver with plenty of leg room for all is an enjoyable experience enjoyed by many. Not to be compared to the cramped back seats of a Mustang or Camero which are hard to enter and exit. More recently I acquired a red Mercedes E450 convertible should you prefer a bit more pazazz.

Explore Oahu's North Shore on a six-hour, fully customizable, private tour with space for four passengers plus your driver. Visit top sights like Banzai Pipeline and sunset beaches and swim, snorkel, or boogie board with equipment provided. I can suggest stops to sample local delicacies like chocolate haupia cream pie and garlic shrimp or even a Rum tasting. Have time to look at boutiques and surf shops in Haleiwa town, and opt for a visit to the Dole Pineapple or Green World Coffee plantations if you choose. There is so much to do and see many times 6 hours is not enough so if you want, the tour can go longer than 6 hours with an additional hourly fee.

What a perfect way to wrap up our final day in Hawaii. Riding around in a convertible is the only way to see Hawaii!! Marks convertible is custom made Chrysler 300, so plenty of room for all. I had an idea of things I wanted to do, however rather than just executing my plan, he made recommendations and I was glad he did. He took us to a spot to see turtles and my granddaughter couldn't stop talking about them. I highly recommend you consider Mark for your Tours by Locals.
Great guy and very friendly. Also extremely knowledgeable about Hawaii. The car is beautiful and immaculate and extremely comfortable. Way beyond our expectations. If you ask him, he will play your favorite music in his awesome surround system in the car. Also an excellent driver and we felt very safe at all times. We will definitely use his services again in the future. And I highly recommend this tour.
Mark provided my family and I a great tour of the North Shore of Oahu. His custom convertible was clean and beautiful. He picked us up and dropped us off right near the cruise ship. I highly recommend this private tour because Mark’s knowledge of the area will save you time and frustration. He knew exactly where to find and see sea turtles, big waves, and the best local foods. He took us to great places to shop owned by locals and shared the rich history of the island while driving us to local historical sites. Mark provides a five star tour experience.
Our family had an excellent day with Mark! Mark is relaxed, adds good conversation and information and tailored the tour to our interests. The tour was a perfect duration for our boys ages and meant we didn’t end up stopping for the things we didn’t want to. Mark asked if we wanted the convertible hood up or down at times for comfort, and stopped at places that others don’t which meant our experience was really great. Will be recommending Mark’s tour to our friends.
Great experience with Mark. He was kind and attentive to the needs of everyone in our party, offering great ideas and adapting the itinerary to bring us to local gems throughout the day. We would never have experienced a number of delicious hole-in-the-wall treats without his guidance. Thank you, Mark!
