About Sights & Bites Circle Island Tour
Spend the day circling Oahu with a route that mixes big coastal views, North Shore stops and some of the island’s favorite local flavors. From Waikiki, the tour moves around the island at an easy pace, with scenic lookouts, food stops and time to enjoy the different sides of Oahu along the way.
The morning starts near Diamond Head, then continues along the southeast coast past Halona Blowhole, Hanauma Bay and Makapuu Point. Between the viewpoints, you’ll stop for poi-glazed donuts from Kamehameha Bakery, sample local coffee and flavored macadamia nuts, and enjoy fresh fruit from a roadside stand.
On the North Shore, lunch is included at a well-known shrimp truck before the route continues past Mokolii, also known as Chinaman’s Hat. You’ll also stop at Pua'ena Point, where Hawaiian green sea turtles are sometimes seen resting, although sightings are never guaranteed.
The final stop is Dole Pineapple Plantation, where you can finish the day with one of Oahu’s most recognizable treats, the Dole Whip.
