Overview

This full-day tour circles the island of Oahu, starting with a hotel pickup in Waikiki. The group travels by air-conditioned minibus with a professional guide. The first stop is the Amelia Earhart Lookout at Diamond Head State Monument, offering views of the southeastern coastline, including Hanauma Bay and, on clear days, Maui. Next is Halona Blowhole, a natural lava tube where ocean water shoots upward when waves create pressure inside. The tour continues along Oahu’s windward side with a stop at Makapu'u Beach to see Waimanalo’s sea cliffs and Manana Island, also called Rabbit Island. Afterward, guests visit Tropical Farms, where they can sample macadamia nuts, Kona coffee, and Hawaiian chocolates. The route passes Mokoli’i Island, known as Chinaman’s Hat, a small island near the Kualoa Valley Mountain range featured in films like Jurassic Park. Lunch takes place at Kahuku Farms, located at the base of the Koʻolau Mountain Range. Guests can walk through a taro patch while learning about traditional Hawaiian farming methods still in use. The farm restaurant serves North Shore dishes such as garlic shrimp, coconut shrimp, and Kalua pork, with vegetarian options available. Lunch is not included and requires cash payment. After lunch, the tour stops at tropical fruit stands on the North Shore to try fresh mangos and drink from coconuts. The bus then passes through the outskirts of Hale‘iwa Town, traveling by pineapple, coffee, and other agricultural fields. The Dole Plantation is the next stop, where visitors can buy pineapple-themed souvenirs and try pineapple ice cream known as Dole Whip. The tour also includes stops at Sandy Beach Park, known for bodyboarding and bodysurfing, and Waimanalo Beach, which features white sand, frequent green sea turtle sightings, local eateries, wild chickens, and family farms. A key part of the tour is a ninety-minute snorkeling session at a North Shore turtle beach. Snorkeling gear is provided, and guests may swim alongside Hawaiian green sea turtles when conditions allow. The tour ends with a brief visit to Sunset Beach, a quieter location where large ocean swells can be seen during winter months. The entire tour lasts about eight hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off from select hotels, transport in an air-conditioned minibus, a professional guide, and use of snorkeling equipment. Lunch and gratuities are not included. Guests should bring sunscreen, a towel, a swimsuit, bottled water, and a change of clothes. The tour operates rain or shine, but some stops may be skipped due to weather or other conditions. Turtle sightings are common but not guaranteed because of natural behavior and environmental factors.
