Your full-day tour begins with a stop at Pearl Harbor, highlighted by the USS Arizona Memorial and the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Learn the history of Pearl Harbor from your expert tour guide and take in the peaceful harbor that was tragically attacked on December 7, 1941.
Circle the island with your guide, taking in the beauty of Oahu throughout the day. We will make stops at Pearl Harbor, Dole Plantation, a Mac Nut Farm, Nuuanu Pali and various scenic overlooks and stops. We will stop for lunch at the Kahuku Sugar Mill so you can choose from many of the North Shoreʻs best food trucks.
Your day begins with a flight from Maui, Kauai or Big Island of Hawaii to Honolulu. Your personal guide will meet you at the designated pickup location predetermined by our agents at the Honolulu airport. From there, we take you on a tour of Oahu with our first stop being Pearl Harbor. At this stop, we will check out the Visitor Center Museums and watch historic footage of the attack at Pearl Harbor. Afterward, we will take a boat ride out to the USS Arizona Memorial for up-close viewing.
You have one day to visit Oahu and we want to show you as much as possible. The top highlights include the Dole Plantation for some pineapple whip and then onto the North Shore to visit quaint towns, beautiful beaches and incredible ocean overlooks. Watch the surfers in action, tackling the big waves of some of the most iconic beaches that you have only seen in movies or hit TV shows.
There’s no better way to see the island of Oahu than with our Circle Island Tour. On this adventure, you’ll witness the diversity of the island including the lush rainforests of the Ko’olau Mountains and the iconic sandy beach of Oahu’s North Shore. Mix in some lore and history from our local guides, and you’re bound to have an unbelievable Oahu experience.
We end our day having a quick look at the city of Honolulu. The beautiful historic buildings, the national veterans’ cemetery at the Punchbowl, the incredible city overlooks and so much more dot the route that we take through this city.
