This small-group tour circles the island of Oahu in about 9.5 hours, starting early during December and January with a sunrise viewing at a carefully selected location to watch the sun rise over the island. The tour includes pickup and drop-off at Waikiki hotels, bottled water, one whole Dole pineapple per party, use of snorkeling equipment, live commentary from the guide, and air conditioning on the vehicle. The first stop is Diamond Head State Monument, where the group drives on the same road Amelia Earhart once used and enjoys panoramic views of Oahu’s southern shore and Waikiki. The route then passes through Kahala, a wealthy neighborhood known for its estates and the annual Sony Open golf event. Next is the Halona Blowhole, one of only three blowholes of its kind worldwide, followed by a drive past Sandy Beach Park, a popular bodysurfing location. The tour continues by Makapu’u Lookout, offering views of cliffs called "The Dragon," visible despite commercial vehicle restrictions at Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve. At Nu’uanu Pali Lookout, the group stops for about 20 minutes to see expansive views of Oahu’s Windward Coast and learn about the site’s historical importance in uniting the islands. Lunch is served at the North Shore near Fumis shrimp truck, with shrimp and vegetarian options available. After lunch, there is about one hour to swim or snorkel at the North Shore, with free snorkel gear provided; those who prefer not to swim can relax in shaded areas. The tour then stops at Makapu’u Point for about 15 minutes, where participants can walk along the cliffs or view from behind the railing. Further stops include Waimea Bay, the landing site of Captain Cook in the 1700s, and Sunset Beach, known for large winter waves and surfing. The group visits Hale‘iwa Town Center for about 15 minutes to explore the historic 1800s town. The tour continues to the Dole Plantation for 20 minutes, home of the well-known Dole Whip treat. The final stop is the North Shore Macadamia Nut Company, where free samples of macadamia nuts and coffee are offered before returning to Waikiki. The tour is designed to keep groups small to avoid crowds and provide a comfortable, engaging experience around the island.
