About Oahu Grand Circle Island Tour
Spend the day circling Oahu on a guided sightseeing tour that covers about 120 miles of coastline, mountain scenery and well-known island landmarks. The route begins in Waikiki and continues past Diamond Head and Kahala before heading toward the southeast shore and Oahu's windward side.
