Oahu Grand Circle Island Tour
See a wide range of Oahu in one day on a guided circle island tour from Waikiki. The route follows the coastline through scenic lookouts, beaches, historic sites and lush valleys, giving you a broad look at the island beyond Honolulu.
Stops along the south and windward shores include Diamond Head lookout, Halona Blowhole, Nu'uanu Pali Lookout and Byodo-In Temple beneath the Ko'olau Mountains. Farther north, the tour passes famous surf areas such as Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay before continuing into Waimea Valley, where you can walk through the gardens to the waterfall and swim when conditions allow.
After time for lunch on your own, the day continues through historic Haleiwa Town and nearby pineapple fields before a final stop at Dole Plantation. Throughout the tour, your guide shares stories about Oahu's history, culture and landmarks along the way.
