Overview

This full-day bus tour from Waikiki covers three major attractions on Oahu in about 9 to 10 hours. The tour starts at Pearl Harbor Historic Sites Visitor Center, where visitors explore exhibits on the events of December 7, 1941, watch a 23-minute documentary, and take a 10-minute boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial. At the memorial, guests see the sunken battleship, the oil droplets known as "The Tears of the Arizona," and the Remembrance Wall listing 1,177 crew members who died. Next, the tour stops at Dole Plantation for about an hour. Guests can shop for pineapple-themed souvenirs and local products at the Plantation Store, taste the pineapple soft-serve treat called Dole Whip, and take a short walk to view the Rainbow Eucalyptus trees with their colorful bark. The trip then includes a drive along Oahu’s North Shore, passing famous surf spots such as Banzai Pipeline, Waimea Bay, and Sunset Beach, with views of the Pacific Ocean and green mountains. The largest visit is at the Polynesian Cultural Center for about three hours. Visitors tour authentic villages representing six Pacific Island nations: Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, and New Zealand. Activities include meeting islanders, watching traditional dances, listening to stories and songs, riding a canoe between villages, trying Tahitian spear throwing and Samoan cooking, and watching the Polynesian Canoe Pageant. A barbecue lunch is included at the Center. On the return, there is a stop at Kualoa Regional Park for 30 minutes to enjoy views of the turquoise water, Chinaman’s Hat islet, and the Kualoa mountain range while relaxing by the beach. The tour uses a luxury van with air conditioning and includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Waikiki. Entry tickets to all attractions are provided by the guide. Meals outside the barbecue lunch are not included. Guests should be prepared to walk several city blocks and follow specific rules about bags and respectful silence at Pearl Harbor.
