Tour Description
Join us on our grand circle island tour of Oahu and see all the best that the island has to offer! We’ll start with a pickup from the airport or your Waikiki hotel, then head to historic downtown Honolulu, the center of power in the Hawaiian Islands for a long time. We stop to see the King Kamehameha the Great statue, covered in gold and wrapped in leis.
From here we will head out to the North Shore, with stops at the Dole Plantation to enjoy a mid-morning treat, with time to check out the train, try a maze or just relax in the gardens for a little bit.
Your guide will provide wonderful stories, little tips, point out features and historical events as we cruise across the island to the North Shore, driving through thru quaint north shore towns and past famous beaches, stopping at various areas where available. Donʻt worry, from your elevated, comfortable seat, you will get some of the best views available on the road at places where we canʻt let guests out.
Our morning continues, wrapping around the north shore. We will stop at various places but the main lunch spot is in Kahuku. An old sugar mill turned into a great place to stop, shop and eat. Clean bathrooms and great food await. We give you time to explore and choose from some of the great options. There is no “box lunch” on this trip. Get out and support the local small chefs creating amazing dishes!
Once the group finishes, the tour continues down the leeward side of the island at a leisurely pace. The roads are small and right at the ocean, so sit back and relax to enjoy the coastal views. We will perk you up again soon with a stop at a beautiful ocean side park followed by a macadamia and tropical fruit farm. Get some coffee or other drinks to prepare you for the next amazing stop.
One of our favorite stops on the complete tour is the Byodo-in Temple. A recreation of a 600-year old temple in Japan. This serene setting is a great place to quietly relax. A nice change of pace if your vacation and life has been hectic. This is also a great reminder of the many cultures that make up the island of Oahu. Your guide will tell you all about it with great personal stories.
The day is not over yet! A visit to one of the historically important places with one of the best views in the islands is up next. Nuʻuanu Pali Overlook holds a rich history and was the location where a great battle was fought, uniting the islands under Kamehameha the Great.
From this vantage point, we can see our next stop, along the leeward coast, near a lighthouse. We will make our way around the southern tip of Oahu, stopping at various lookouts, checking out a blowhole and taking in the views of the city before returning to Waikiki around Diamond Head.
