Day 7 - Ohau Private Tours Day.
Fantastic Company! Very reasonable and so accommodating. We had the owner, Jason, as our guide today. We had spoken with him months ago to line up our date and chose a combination tour of site seeing and activities for the North Shore.
We stopped briefly at a coffee plantation for free samples and the opportunity to buy real beans harvested in Hawaii.We then visited several scenic sites along the way as well as swimming with turtles - this was amazing. You are in the water with them and the beach was accessed thru a neighborhood pathway between homes. It was interesting. Could never have found on our own this way. We had around 8 turtles swimming with us.
My husband also cliff jumped and we snorkeled at Sharks Cove which was beautiful. Fear not, it is shaped as a shark's fin hence the name...there are no sharks!
The day went fast and we did a lot. We stopped for the best poke, per our guide, which is Foodland grocery store of all places in the North SHore! We snacked on this while driving to the food trucks in the North shore. Great fish tacos! Dessert of course followed thanks to Leonards. All of this was part of the tour - aside from price of the food - and we were together for 8 hours with our guide.

I feel as though we saw a lot! We got back to Aulani around 5:30. We had dinner plans tonight for the character meal but we ended up rescheduling it for a breakfast later in the trip. I just wasn't sure WHAT time we would be back and I didn't want to stress about it.
Dinner was Onu Steak and Shrimp which was super reasonable and good! Kind of hole in the wall type place but ok. Had I realized what it was I would have done takeout.
We wanted to watch Hawaii 5 0 tonight in our room but the Wifi is ridiculous...no way could Netflix be streamed. I was trying to download photos for a text and gave up. Yet my ability to do all of this was fine near Costco.
