Best Of Oahu Circle Island Tour (2024)

Description

Join us on the best circle island tour of Oahu and see all the best that the island has to offer! This tour occurs in a variety of routes depending on the guide, Honolulu traffic, and even the weather! Your driver & guide will make sure you enjoy all the best sites and stops that day.

In many cases, after pickup from the airport or a location at or near your Waikiki hotel, your guide will then head to historic downtown Honolulu. It has been the center of power in the Hawaiian Islands for a long time. We’ll stop to see the King Kamehameha the Great statue, which is covered in gold and wrapped in leis.

From here we will head out to the North Shore and stop at the Dole Plantation to enjoy a mid-morning treat and relax in the gardens for a little bit.

Your guide will provide wonderful stories, provide little tips, point out features, and outline 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 will 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 oceanside 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 have 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.
