Tour route may change slightly, day-to-day, so your guide may choose to take you to some classic north shore food trucks and stop in Haleiwa later in the day. Talk to your guide about the best experience and food options for that day.

There are options for packaged and pre-prepared food at Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.

A cooler full of complimentary cold, non-alcoholic drinks will be available on the tour vehicle throughout the day for your enjoyment.
