About Oahu Grand Circle Island Tour
See Oahu beyond Waikiki on a full-day Roberts Hawaii sightseeing tour with coastal lookouts, North Shore scenery, Dole Plantation time and guided island narration.
Circle Oahu on a full-day journey covering 120 miles of coastline, mountain scenery, historic communities and famous island landmarks. From Waikiki and Diamond Head to the windward coast and legendary North Shore beaches, the tour brings together many of Oahu's most memorable views in one sweeping day of sightseeing.
The journey begins in Waikiki and continues past Diamond Head and the beachfront estates of Kahala. Along the southeast shore, stop at the Halona Blowhole, where ocean water surges through a natural underwater volcanic lava tube and sprays into the air. From there, enjoy broad island views from the Pali Lookout before descending toward Oahu's lush windward coast.
On the North Shore, the tour stops at Pounders restaurant, a farm fresh island style dining restaurant, serving fresh produce from island farms. Lunch is not included in the pricing of the tour. You have the option to pre-order your meal so that it will be ready upon arrival. Payment is made directly to the restaurant.
After lunch, travel past some of the world's most famous big wave surfing beaches before visiting Dole Plantation in Oahu's central plain, home to the famous Dole Whip ice cream and a great gift shop. Throughout the day, your professional guide shares stories about Oahu's culture and history while the island's coastlines, valleys and communities unfold outside your window.
