About North Shore Circle Island Adventure

The day begins with classic coastal scenery at Diamond Head Lookout and Halona Blowhole, then continues around the island past mountain-backed communities and local stops. You can sample Hawaiian treats at Tropical Farms Macadamia Nut Farm, stop for lunch on your own at a North Shore shrimp truck and enjoy fresh island fruit along the way.

Later, the tour reaches Turtle Beach, where snorkel gear is provided for the chance to get in the water near honu. The route continues past famous North Shore surf spots and through historic Haleiwa before finishing at Dole Plantation for a look at Hawaii’s pineapple history and a sweet treat if you like.
