Description

Stop At: Diamond Head State Monument, 18th Ave., Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii 96815

Our first point of interest takes us to beautiful Diamond Head Lookout, where you will be able to catch the end of the sunrise. The surf is almost always up at Diamond Head beach, so you can watch the surfers and see other Hawaiian Islands on a clear Day.

*Please understand that this stop is not the Diamond Head State Monument that is inside of the crater. Another name for this location is the Amelia Earhart Lookout.

Duration: 15 minutes

Pass By: Kahala, Kahala, Hawaii

After the Diamond Head Lookout, our second point of interest is the Gold Coast in Kahala. This area is like the Beverly Hills of Hawaii. You will see unbelievably large and luxurious properties and expansive estates that are owned by movie stars, celebrities, dignitaries, entrepreneurs, and of course doctors and lawyers. Definitely an interesting sight to take in.

Pass By: Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Honolulu, Hawaii 96825

Hanauma Bay is a beautiful marine embayment on the eastern shore of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It was formed within a volcanic cone and is a protected marine life conservation area that attracts over one million visitors every year. The bay is home to a diverse range of marine life, including over 400 species of fish, sea turtles, and reef sharks. The beach and bay are surrounded by lush green hills, which provide a stunning backdrop to the crystal-clear waters.

Hanauma Bay has a significant historical and cultural significance for the Hawaiian people. The bay was once a site for traditional Hawaiian fishing practices, and the surrounding land was used for farming by ancient Hawaiians.

Please note that due to parking limitations, we are not able to stop at Hanauma Bay. This is a drive by attraction, and the tour guide will provide information.

Stop At: Eternity Beach, Kalaniana'ole Highway, Honolulu, Hawaii 96815

Situated Near the blowhole in an incredibly beautiful corner of Oahu is a secret beach made famous in the movie "From Here to Eternity." This little cove is extraordinary, and one of our hidden gems. If you have some extra time while here on vacation, we recommend that you come back to spend the day... It's just about the most relaxing place on the planet!

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Halona Blowhole, Kalanianole Highway, Hawaii 96825

After we pass through Kahala, one of the most interesting points along our journey around Oahu is the powerful Halona Blowhole. Come and marvel at this geologic wonder as it shoots water into the heavens. As the waves crash into the rocks, the water moves underneath the rocks from underwater caves. Then the pressure builds up and it shoots the water as high as you can see. One of Oahu's geologic wonders!

Pass By: Makapu'u Point, Kalaniana'ole Hwy, turnout above Makapu'u Beach, Hawaii 96795

After we are pau with Sandy Beach, we will continue our journey and round the Eastern Corner of the Island of Oahu. As we do, you will get a glimpse at one of the most awe-inspiring views that you will ever see. The vista from the Makapu'u Point lookout is truly something to behold... The Bluest of Blues, the Greenest of Greens, ancient jagged lava rock surrounding yellow sand, and the Makapu'u lighthouse sitting stoic in the background. Someone pinch me...

Pass By: Makapuu Lighthouse, Waimanalo, Honolulu, Hawaii 96795

Makapu'u is a stunning coastal area located on the eastern side of Oahu, Hawaii. It is known for its iconic lighthouse, scenic hiking trails, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can explore the Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail, which offers a moderate hike and panoramic views of the coastline. The area is also home to Makapu'u Beach, a popular destination for swimming and bodyboarding.

Historically, Makapu'u played an important role in the defense of Oahu. The lighthouse was built in 1909 to guide ships through the treacherous waters off the coast, and during World War II, the area was used as a lookout and gun emplacement site. Today, the lighthouse and surrounding area are part of the Ka Iwi State Scenic Shoreline, which showcases the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Hawaiian Islands.

Overall, Makapu'u is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Oahu.

Stop At: Byodo-In Temple, 47-200 Kahekili Hwy, Kaneohe, Hawaii 96744

The Byodo-In Temple is a stunning Buddhist temple located in the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The temple was built in the 1960s to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. It is a replica of a 900-year-old temple in Uji, Japan and features traditional Japanese architecture and beautiful landscaping.

The temple is known for its intricate wood carvings, beautiful gardens, and stunning architecture, which includes a large golden Buddha statue. Visitors can ring the temple bell, which is said to bring good luck, and explore the serene surroundings. The Byodo-In Temple has become a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

This is a full stop on the tour. The price of admission is not included, but is only $5 per person.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Sandy Beach Park, 8801 Kalanianaole Hwy, Hawaii 96825

After the Blowhole and Eternity Beach, we'll come upon the body boarding, body surfing, skim boarding, and broken neck capital of the world... Sandy Beach. A famous hangout for locals, and just amazing playground, Sandy Beach is the perfect place to watch the experts play with expert waves... It's also a convenient bathroom stop for our tour!

Stop At: Mokoli’i Island, Hawaii 96744

Behold the legendary Mokoli'i Island! This picturesque island off the coast of Kaneohe Bay is a volcanic formation that is about as iconic with the Island of Oahu as Diamond Head. Mokoliʻi translates from Hawaiian as "little lizard." According to Hawaiian mythology, the island is the remains of a giant lizard's or dragon's tail that was chopped off and tossed into the ocean by the goddess Hiʻiaka. Definitely a picture that you need to have stored on your data card.

Stop At: Oahu's North Shore, Hawaii

The Oahu North Shore is a world-famous destination known for its stunning beaches, iconic surf culture, and breathtaking scenery. The area is home to some of the best surfing spots in the world, including Waimea Bay and Pipeline, which draw professional surfers from around the globe. Visitors can explore the charming town of Haleiwa, which offers unique shops, art galleries, and delicious local cuisine.

The North Shore also has a rich cultural history, dating back to ancient Hawaiian times. The area was once home to numerous fishing communities and is known for its unique style of fishing using handmade nets and canoes. Visitors can learn about this rich cultural heritage.

Overall, the Oahu North Shore is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Hawaii. Its natural beauty, unique culture, and world-renowned surf culture make it an unforgettable experience.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet), 49-227 Kamehameha Hwy Ste A, Kaneohe, Hawaii 96744

After passing through Waimanalo, it's time to go to one our most popular stops... Why is it so popular? Free (all you can eat) Macadamia Nuts and Free (all you can drink) Kona Coffee of course! But it doesn't stop there, this is a bonafide macadamia nut plantation where you can crack open your own mac nuts, drink cold coconut juice right out of the coconut, mingle with Samoan Chiefs, and find that perfect, unique gift to bring home with you. This is always one of our guests favorite stops. *Note: Please leave a donation if you hit the coffee and nuts pretty hard. =)

Stop At: Kahuku Farms, 56-800 Kamehameha Hwy, Kahuku, Hawaii 96731

Mango, Pineapple, Coconut, Breadfruit, Dragon Fruit, Egg Fruit, Lilikoi, Honey Dew, Cantaloupe, Papaya, Apple Bananas, Ice Cream Bananas, Kiwis, Lychee, Rambutan, Sapote, Chi Chi, Jack Fruit... I could go on, but I think I would run out of character limit. The amazing Kahuku Land Fruit Stand has it all... Every fruit that you've ever heard of, and definitely every fruit that you've never heard off. Enjoy interacting with local farmers and tasting tropical fruits at this fun location.

Stop At: Haleiwa, Haleiwa, Hawaii

Okay cousins... Now it's time to Grind! We've had a very busy morning and everyone has worked up quite an appetite. Don't worry, we've got you covered with succulent Kahuku Shrimp & Garlic, Savory Kalua Pork, and other Local and Hawaiian dishes. Kahuku, Hawaii is known to some of the most productive shrimp farms in Hawaii. These premium shrimp are exported all over the world, but now is your change to eat them at there freshest. Non-seafood options too. The buffet is all you can eat. *Note: The cost of lunch is not included in the price of the tour.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Haleiwa Alii Beach Park, Halewa Rd, Haleiwa, Hawaii 96712

We have now come upon the highlight of our 16 Point Oahu Circle Island Tour... It's time to go snorkeling with the Sea Turtles. These curious creatures are docile and overwhelmingly cute. They spend their days hunting seaweed crops that are growing on the rocks and coral out here at this beautiful beach known as Alii Beach in Haleiwa. We will be providing all of the mask, snorkels, life jackets, lifeguards, and safety instruction that you need to have a super fun, super safe time. It's official... You've arrived... You're on Vacation, and this amazing snorkeling spot is the proof!

Stop At: Dole Plantation, 64-1550 Kamehameha Hwy, Dole Plantation, Wahiawa, Hawaii 96786

There's hardly any place more associated with Hawaii than the Dole Pineapple Plantation in Wahiawa, Oahu. It's also one of our guests favorite stops, and a fantastic way to begin to wrap up this adventurous day. Dole Plantation offers a wide variety of unique gifts and refreshments including fresh pineapple, and DoleWhip ice cream. This is a great spot to watch the Dole Train, grab some things to bring home, or send as gifts.

Duration: 50 minutes

Stop At: Green World Coffee Farms, 71 N Kamehameha Hwy # 101, Wahiawa, Hawaii 96786

Whoooo Whoooo.... The train is now pulling out of the station at the Dole Plantation... And we're headed to our last stop right down the road.... The Green World Coffee Farms. As you can guess by the name, Green World grows boutique coffee and has many coffee trees growing on the property so you can get a look up close. They also have a great coffee shop so you can fuel up for the journey back to Waikiki. It's been a long day, and it's no coincidence that our last point of interest happens to be a spot where you'll find piping hot caffeine on tap. We hope you've enjoyed reading about our wonderful island experience and warmly invite you to come join us for an exciting day that you will never forget!

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
• Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Oahu Sightseeing Snorkel Tour Features

The Halona Blowhole

The Halona Blowhole is a must-visit site on any Oahu tour. This natural marvel, formed by molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago, is located on the southeastern coast of Oahu. When the ocean tide rolls in, water is forced up through the lava tube, creating a powerful spray that can reach up to 30 feet in the air, resembling a geyser. The lookout also offers unobstructed, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding coastline. This is a prime example of the powerful natural forces that continue to shape the Hawaiian islands.

Tropical Farms Macadamia Nuts

Tropical Farms Macadamia Nuts is a vibrant and unique stop on our tour, offering a slice of Oahu's rich agricultural heritage. This farm, nestled in the lush hills of the island, grows and processes some of the finest macadamia nuts in Hawaii. The farm is not just about macadamia nuts, though; it's an experience complete with samples of locally roasted coffee and homemade chocolates. As you walk around the farm, you'll see rows of macadamia trees and learn about the process of growing, harvesting, and processing these nuts. It's a taste of local culture and farming traditions that's both educational and rewarding.

Exciting Ocean Activities

The North Shore of Oahu is a water sports paradise. Snorkeling here opens up an underwater world of vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful marine life. The clear waters offer visibility that makes every snorkeling expedition a memorable adventure. Paddleboarding, too, is a popular activity, with the calm, crystal-clear waters providing the perfect conditions to glide over. With its stunning coastlines and beaches, North Shore offers excellent kayaking routes for both beginners and experienced paddlers. Whether it's snorkeling, paddleboarding, or kayaking, the North Shore of Oahu offers a unique blend of adventure and tranquility.

• They have the best Oahu stops and activities
• Their local guides are knowledgeable, fun, and professional
• They have quality and comfortable vehicles

Watch our experience on our favorite Oahu circle island tour below to help you better understand what to expect on your day around the island.

Best Large Group Oahu Circle Island Tour

Hop on this 10-hour Oahu adventure that’s perfect for big families and groups. Oahu Nature Tours Ultimate Circle Island Tour accommodates up to 45 people and is a jam-packed day of sightseeing!

The tour includes lunch and access to Waimea Valley . Some of the notable stops include Diamond Head Crater, Halona Blowhole, sea turtles at Halona Beach, Makapu’u Lighthouse, Mokoli’i Island, North Shore shrimp farms, and the Dole Plantation. 

One of the coolest things about this Circle Island tour is that they bring along an expert nature guide to point out Hawaii’s unique flora and fauna, alongside information on Oahu’s rich history, geology, and heritage. 

This tour includes roundtrip transportation – they’ll pick you up from your hotel in Honolulu – and lunch from Fumi’s Shrimp Stand, with delicious options like lemon pepper shrimp and chicken katsu. You’ll also walk away with a 152-page, pocket nature guide as a souvenir!

Don’t forget your rain ponchos! Hawaii’s variable weather won’t stop you as this tour operates rain or shine. You’ll also want to wear comfortable shoes ( we like Tevas ) although you’ll only clock about 1.5 miles throughout the day. Guests must be 3 years and older. 

Best Oahu Private Tours

A private tour of Oahu is a special treat! We love customizing our itinerary and having the flexibility of a private guide for the day. This is one of those times when splurging is well worth it!

Some of the best parts of a private tour is that you get to pick exactly what you want to see and do (or they’ll choose for you), you’ll be picked up right at your accommodation, and you have your tour guide all to yourself for any burning questions. 

Here are two of our favorite companies for private tours of Oahu.

Mahina Hawaii

Mahina Hawaii runs completely private, 8-hour tours of Oahu, whether you want to do a full Circle Island Tour or focus on one specific area. The entire tour is tailored to what your group wants to see and they choose locations based on both your preferences and current weather conditions. 

Although the itinerary is fully customizable, some options include snorkeling, hiking to waterfalls, cliff jumping, local food tastings, and traditional sightseeing at destinations like the Byodo-in Temple. Because this tour is just for you and your group, you can stop anywhere along the way, whether it is planned or spur of the moment.

Your private guide, transportation, snacks, water, snorkel equipment, and GoPro photos and videos are all included. Although lunch isn’t provided they have many delicious recommendations to choose from along the way.

If you have more than 7 in your group, you’ll need to let them know when you book the tour. They can get more van and local guides to fit your group size. 

We went out with them on one of our Oahu trips and had a blast!

Halia Tours

Halia Tours operates a 9-hour circle island tour that can accommodate groups of up to 10. Each tour aims to include two 1.5-hour activities and 3 to 5 photo stops with plenty of time to grab snacks and a bite to eat along the way.

Because this is a private tour, your itinerary is fully customizable to circumnavigate Oahu’s Koolau Range. Just some of the activity options include Oahu’s world-famous beaches, kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking to Diamond Head or the Waimea Valley waterfall, scenic lookouts, and downtown Honolulu stops like the Bishop’s Museum. You can even “theme” your tour around foodie hot spots and shopping. 

Although they are a private tour group and guests can “go anywhere” they emphasized not entering local neighborhoods or heading to unsafe areas. Food, drinks, rentals, and any additional entrance fees are a la carte. 

If you’re looking for a half-day option, they can also do a “ mini tour ” that will have you back at your hotel, sipping Mai Tais by the early afternoon. They have flat rate pricing for groups of 1-5 or 5-10, which might affect your decision if you’re a smaller group.

Best Oahu Circle Island Tour from Ko Olina

Most group tours on Oahu leave from Waikiki. If you’re staying in Ko Olina Resort (Disney’s Aulani, Marriott, Four Seasons) , E Noa is your best option! Offering a 9-hour, group circle island tour for up to 25 guests, this group size feels a little less “big box” than the large tours and allows for plenty of time to truly experience all of the wonderful Oahu highlights along the way. 

You’ll avoid Honolulu traffic, stopping at sights like Nu’uanu Pali Lookout, Byodo-In Temple, Tropical Farms for macadamia nut cultivation, Waimea Valley, and end at the Dole Plantation.

Lunch and all of your admission fees are included in the price which makes this a great value. You’ll also be riding in style in a mini-bus with A/C and pick up and drop off from your hotel. Don’t forget to bring along your bathing suit and comfortable walking shoes.

Reminder, this tour departs from Ko Olina on the west side of Oahu.

Best Small Group Oahu Circle Island Tour

Pineapple Exp ’ small group circle island tour is the perfect option for those who want a more intimate experience without the private tour sticker shock.

Not only will you have plenty of time to stop and truly experience each place but your guide will be more readily available for questions and to drop some knowledge.

You’ll travel around Oahu with up to just 13 other vacationers on this 9-hour journey. Just some of your stops along the way are popular sights like Diamond Head State Monument, Byodo-In Temple, Makapu’u Point, Haleiwa Town Center, Dole Plantation, and North Shore Macadamia Nut Company. You’ll also stop at a few places that some of the other tours don’t such as Secret Turtle Beach and the Halona Blowhole.

Transportation to and from your hotel, water, snorkeling equipment, and Dole Whip are all included and all ages are welcome. You’re also gifted a Hawaiian pineapple at the end! How awesome is that? 

Don’t forget to bring your bathing suit, comfy walking shoes, and reef-safe sunscreen!

What to Expect on an Oahu Circle Island Tour

Oahu circle island tour itinerary (sample).

Wondering what you’ll see on an Oahu Circle Island Tour? Here’s an idea of what you can expect… 

• Tours typically start in Honolulu and head east in a counter-clockwise direction around the island. 
• First stops are often Diamond Head Crater and Makapu’u Point, continuing north to Byodo-In Temple and one of the macadamia nut farms (yum!). 
• You’ll then explore the North Shore including the town of Haleiwa and Waimea Valley. 
• Most tours finish up at the Dole Plantation for a sweet treat on your way back to Honolulu.

We highly recommend saving Pearl Harbor for a day of its own. Circle island tours that include a stop at Pearl Harbor are exceptionally long and it takes up a good chunk of the day that could be spent seeing other sights on Oahu.

We have a separate list of Pearl Harbor Tours if you’re interested in a guided option or you can easily visit on your own .

How long is an Oahu circle island tour?

Plan to be gone for an entire day on one of Oahu’s circle island tours. Most options range anywhere from 8 to 10 hours in total, with the majority of tours taking around 9 hours on average. Tours typically pick you up from (or near) your hotel early in the morning and drop you off just in time for dinner.

What is the best way to tour Oahu?

Hopping on a circle island guided tour is one of the best ways to see Oahu. These tours include most of the famous sites on the island, so you can tick off a bunch of different activities in one go. You’ll also have the added benefit of a professional guide, who can give you background on local history and culture, and you won’t have to worry about any planning.  

If you’re thinking about DIYing the same route with a rental car, we highly recommend following our Oahu itinerary ! Keep in mind that renting a car can be a little bit of a hassle and comes with some “hidden” fees like overnight parking at your hotel.

What is the most scenic part of Oahu?

We couldn’t give the award for the most scenic part of Oahu to just one place. The whole island is very beautiful! 

Our two favorites for scenery on the island are the North Shore and Windward Oahu. 

The North Shore is a must for its more down-to-earth, local vibes and lush scenery. Winter brings big waves and surfing competitions that are exciting to see. A visit in summer means you can enjoy the stunning beaches from both the sand and the water. 

Windward Oahu has a truly stunning stretch of coastline between Kualoa and Kailua. The Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden also makes for an incredible stop and is one of the most scenic spots we’ve found on Oahu. Picture 400 acres of gardens to explore with plants from around the world, all with the backdrop of Oahu’s jagged, Ko’olau Range.

The best beaches, restaurants, hotels, vacation rentals, tours, and fully planned excursion days are at your fingertips. Skip the countless hours of research and planning, leave it to us, and go have an amazing vacation!

Wonderful tour! Caleb was our tour guide and he was phenomenal. He never rushed our group and made sure our questions were always answered. Hands down the best day we've had in HI. Glad we decided to go on this tour. The blowhole was absolutely stunning, clear and warm water. The temple was gorgeous and our kids loved feeding the koi fish and birds. Lunch was DELICIOUS at Tanaka shrimp farms. The gift shop was a great stop, everyone is so kind and there was fresh coconut and pineapple right outside of the shop. Highly recommend you check out this tour and if there's a way to request Caleb as your tour guide, do it! You won't regret it.

Used them for their Waiakele Outlets shuttle. First time worked out OK, even though the description of where to wait for the shuttle was confusing. Second time, dude was an hour late picking us up, then took a detour to drop someone off at Aloha Stadium. Nowhere on the website showed a shuttle to the stadium. Otherwise, we'd have ubered.

I enjoyed Aloha Circle Island Tours. My tour guide was Milo, and he was so funny, energetic and friendly! Everyone and I was taken to so many places around the island such as the beaches, Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp restaurant (the best shrimp ever), Leonard's Bakery truck, the Macadamia Nut Farm, the Dole Plantation, and more. As Milo was driving the bus, he gave us information about the Hawaiian culture and pointed out celebrity homes as well. The tour even included an opportunity to snorkel for an hour. It was nice that he offered complimentary Aloha Maid drinks and chips as refreshments. Overall, I was pleased with the entire experience. My Hawaii trip was extremely memorable because of Aloha Circle Island Tours. 5 stars, hands down!

Pickup location was not clear however we eventually made it just to see the shuttle slow down and drive off at 7:27. Our pick up time was 7:30. Very disappointing to say the least!!

The all island tour including snorkeling for sea turtles was amazing because of the awesome tour guide, AKA. He was so knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture and facts. He knows everything and was so animated and personable! We wished he was our guide for all of the island.

This was nearly the best part of my trip visiting Oahu. Would definitely recommend!

This tour started early at 7.45 am and we travelled until 6pm. The day went very fast as we were entertained by our driver and tour leader Aunty Kellie ! She is hilarious and knows her island like the back of her hand. She really made the trip interesting! We saw most of the highlights of the outer island even turtles. Great local food at various stops along the way ! Highly recommend this full day trip !

Ok so let me say this my tour guide was awesome... to me. He gave tons of info and he was very lighthearted. Everyone is disappointed about the beach... absolutely awful no local or tourist would come here. Take it off the tour waste of time

Kiki was awesome. The morning meet up at Ross was a bit disorganized and rough but Kiki Made up for all the moment he picked up his Ukulele. We had a great time, loved hearing his stories and rhetoric

Activity Inclusions

USE ARROWS TO SEE ALL LOCATIONS

Round Trip Waikiki Transportation  

Whatever hotel you are staying at in Waikiki, We will provide comfortable round trip transportation in our semi-private mini-coaches. Just the right size to make sure you can enjoy the Grand Circle Island Tour without being being crowded.

Diamond Head Beach Lookout  

Diamond Head Beach Lookout was a strategic military site during WWII, and a favorite surfing spot for locals. There’s always a wave to be surfed at this beach. The lookout provides a good view of this hotspot in the foothills of Diamond Head.

Kahala Estates  

After the Diamond Head Lookout, our second point of interest is the Gold Coast in Kahala. This area is like the Beverly Hills of Hawaii. You will see unbelievably large and luxurious properties and expansive estates.

The Halona Blowhole  

The blowhole is a natural occurrence formed by molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. The lava tubes run to the ocean and, when the surf is right, the blowhole shoots water up to 30 feet in the air.

Eternity Beach  

Situated Near the blowhole in an incredibly beautiful corner of Oahu is a secret beach made famous in the movie “From Here to Eternity.” This little cove is extraordinary, and one of our hidden gems.

Sandy Beach  

After the Blowhole and Eternity Beach, we’ll come upon the body boarding, body surfing, skim boarding, and broken neck capital of the world… Sandy Beach. A famous hangout for locals, and just amazing playground.

Makapu’u Point Lookout  

As we round the Eastern Corner of the Island of Oahu, you will get a glimpse at one of the most awe-inspiring views that you will ever see. The vista from the Makapu’u Point lookout is truly something to behold… The Bluest of Blues, the Greenest of Greens.

Secret Beach  

Waimanalo Bay is an “off the beaten path” spot with a beach that will leave you in awe of it’s shear beauty. The beach is surrounded by an Ironwood forest. We can’t stop here, but it’s so beautiful we’re gonna drive through so you can see it.

Chinaman’s Hat  

Behold the legendary Chinaman’s Hat! This awesome geological formation is located on one of the most beautiful parts of the island. This stop is one of our guests favorite locations to take pictures. You would have a hard time finding a better beach to have a picnic!

Macadamia Nut Tropical Farm  

Take a look back at the plantation days in Hawaiian history. Learn the life cycle of the nut from flower to harvest. Indulge in All You Can Eat Macadamia Nut Samples, grab a hot cup of Kona Coffee, and go outside to talk story with the Samoan Chiefs.

Laie Mormon Temple  

After we have our fill over at the Macadamia Nut Plantation, it’s time to get back on the road. The next stop we’ll make is over to the amazingly beautiful Temple of the Church of Latter Day Saints in Laie, on the North Shore of Oahu.

Kahuku Shrimp  

The shrimp served on the North Shore is never frozen and actually locally raised in ponds right on their property. Enjoy their famous shrimp sautéed with butter and garlic, or tons of other options that don’t include seafood… But trust me… The Garlic Shrimp… Ono Grindz Cuz!

Exotic Fruit Stand  

Mango, Pineapple, Coconut, Breadfruit, Dragon Fruit, Egg Fruit, Lilikoi, Honey Dew, Cantaloupe, Papaya, Apple Bananas, Ice Cream Bananas, Kiwis, Lychee, Rambutan, Sapote, Chi Chi, Jack Fruit… I could go on, but I think I would run out of character limit.

Sunset Beach on North Shore  

Known for big wave surfing during the winter season, it is a site for surf competitions and home to the prestigious Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. We’re not allow to get out at this location, but when the surf is up you can see the waves from the bus.

Haleiwa Town  

We have now nourished our bodies, regained our energy stores, and it’s time to make our way out through Haleiwa to go to our snorkeling site. But, along the way there, we will pass through the quaint surfing town of Haleiwa, the most famous city on the North Shore.

Sea Turtle Beach (Alii Beach)  

A beautiful spot for snorkeling. Large sea turtles (“Honu”) are often seen in the shallow waters here. The shore area is a combination of sand and rocky outcroppings, making the area perfect for snorkeling a seeing some of the local sea life.

Dole Pineapple Plantation  

Dole Plantation offers a wide variety of unique gifts and refreshments including fresh pineapple, and DoleWhip ice cream. This is a great spot to grab some things to bring home, or send as gifts. Our stop here does NOT allow time for the train ride or maze.

Quality is Definitely a Five Star…

Amazing tour! We took the circle island tour with John Jr. as our tour guide. There was never a boring moment from the beginning to the end. Every stop was worth visiting and even my 6-year-old daughter said “The tour was so much fun!”. We purchased the tour from Groupon, but the quality of service is definitely a five star. This tour has become the highlight of our trip to Oahu. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommend!

We went on the Island tour last week and we loved it! Cousin John Jr. was the best tour guide! Loved his ukulele playing and singing! Our 8 old year daughter enjoyed it too. She especially liked the snorkeling with the turtles! Highly recommend!

Cousin A Was Awesome!

Cousin A was awesome! He made the whole tour fun . lots of knowledge even stuff you didn’t need to know, but made it that much more fun. He was Full of energy and clearly loves what he does! Crash coarse in Hawaiian was hilarious!

Definitely Would Do This Again…

John Jr. was our tour guide today and he was great! Really enjoyed my time the whole bus ride, kept us entertained with singing and playing the ukulele, making jokes and wonderful facts of the wonderful island of Oahu. Definitely would do this again and I prefer John Jr. ?

WOW. I Cannot Say Enough!

WOW. I cannot say enough about this tour and especially the tour guide!! Well worth the money. Our tour guide was Cousin A. One of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever met, and not just about Hawaii. Beautiful views, provided donuts, history, delicious lunch (not included), snorkeling – BEAUTIFUL. Experience was bar-none and I wish I could have Ariel tour me around the globe!

Holy Cow! Snorkeling With…

My wife and I are in Honolulu celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and can’t thank cousin Johnny Jr. enough for starting us out on such a fun day. From the start we could tell we probably made the best choice selecting Aloha Circle Island Tour as an introduction to Honolulu. Little did we know we would get the history of the island, but Hawaii itself and the people as well are fascinating. Or, was cousin Johnny Jr. just that good of a tour guide… I am typically not too interested in hanging out on a beach and especially not eager to see what’s lurking around inside the water, but holy cow! snorkeling with sea turtles was absolutely awesome! Thank goodness for lifeguard Dan and his aloha attitude to making that experience a reality for everyone. The poi donuts were an interesting start to the history introduction and made for good conversation, so please don’t stop doing that. The ukulele is a nice touch too cousin. Don’t give up your day job, please. Just to finish the thought about the day, it ended with an unbelievable fireworks display here at the hotel. Thanks again Aloha Circle Island Tour!

Veronica W.

The Atmosphere Was Good Times…

I managed to squeeze this one trip in still before I left Oahu. I am very glad I did. Uncle Tony did a great job making us all feel welcome and connected with the rest of our group, for the whole trip we treated eat other as Ohana and made sure everyone was happy and on board. The conversation and information was good, the jokes were funny, the atmosphere was good times as we went from site to site. Yes we snorkeled, yes we saw turtles and even a monk seal, yes we ate well (probably too many nuts), we saw a lot of beautiful scenery and got many photos. Enjoyed the songs, the music, the stories, the people and the whole experience. It will not be forgotten. Mahalo.
