What To Expect

Waikiki

Itinerary: Waikiki Pickup (7:15 a.m.) Our semi private shuttle will arrive at 7am for pick up in Waikiki, with a local guide to help you prepare for a day of exploring the island of Oahu. Pick up times vary by hotel and will be automatically assigned when you input your information into our online booking platform.

Diamond Head State Monument

The first lookout we visit is an elevated view perched on the eastern side of Waikiki’s famous Diamond Head Volcano. This lookout grants us a great opportunity for pictures of the south eastern coastline of Oahu, with notable sights as far as Hanauma bay and Maui on a clear day. The location is more formally known as Amelia Earhart Lookout, known for where bystanders gathered to watch Earhart make her first solo aviation journey from Hawaii to North America.

Halona Blowhole

Halona Blowhole Molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions that occurred from Oahu’s Koko Head crater formed the natural occurrence known as the Halona Blowhole. This lava tube extends into the ocean with a very narrow opening at the top, and when the surf is just right, water pressure builds up within the lava tube and erupts through the narrow opening creating a special Hawaiian Geyser for your viewing pleasure.

Makapu'u Point

Makapu’u Point Witness Waimanalo’s dramatic sea cliffs as we turn into Oahu’s windward side as we begin our journey to the North Shore of Oahu. Look off into the azure blue waters of the bay and you will see Oahu’s famous Manana Island also known as Rabbit island due to its Rabbit like shape.

Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)

Hawaiian Coffee and Macadamia Nut Tastings After a beautiful drive along Oahu’s eastern coastline, our next stop is a local shop that finds itself tucked away under aged Banyan Trees with macadamia nut and delicious Kona coffee tastings, along with very tempting Hawaiian chocolates amongst other treats.

Mokoli’i Island

Mokoli'i Island and Kualoa Valley Mountain Range Mokolii Island, is nestled right next to the Kualoa Valley Mountain range. This location is known for its dramatic landscape filmed in a number of Hollywood movies; most notably and fan favorite Jurassic Park.

Sunset Beach

A change of pace from the crowded beaches of Waikiki, The infamous Sunset Beach on the North Shore offers tranquility and is the epitome of a beautiful Hawaiian Beach. However don’t lets the summer months fool you, during the winter months, swells of 30 to 40 feet can be seen from the safe confines of shore.

Kahuku Farms

We stop at a North Shore Fruit stand where you can gorge on local fruits such as mangos, dragonfruit, pineapple or quench your thirst on a fresh coconut.

Waimea Botanical Gardens, Oahu

The exceptional botanical collections at Waimea Valley feature dozens of distinct gardens representing flora from different parts of the world. Examples include the Ogasawara Islands, Central and South America, Fiji, Guam, and the Mascarene Islands. Stroll through the Hawaiian collection and enjoy an assortment of plants found only in Hawai'i, many of which are rare and endangered. Many were brought here as seed or cutting from the places where they evolved. Waimea Waterfall is also a splendid highlight of the park. Guests can swim in the waterfall if they want. Lifeguards are on duty. Admission included in the cost of the ticket. Swimming is allowed at the waterfall. Please bring a bathing suit and towel if you wish to swim. Lifejackets are provided and lifeguards are on duty at all times. Guest should be advised it is a 1.5 mile roundtrip walk to and from the waterfall. There is a $10 tram but that is not included into the cost of the tour.

Dole Plantation

A historic pineapple plantation home to pineapple magnets, pineapple t-shirts, pineapple keychains and most importantly pineapple ice cream aka Dole Whip!! A great way to end the day and get some pineapple themed souvenirs for your friends and family back home.

The tour was great with plenty of things to do, eat and see. Eddie was fantastic and kept us entertained the entire way. Book it, you won’t regret it.

The merchant was pretty good at communicating with me before the tour but not so much with the Driver/tour guide Robert. I informed them that I had a folding wheelchair and was told no problem. When I got picked up Robert was surprised as his van had no place to put it so it had to take up 2 front seats. Luckily, they had 2 no shows so that worked out. The tour started late as one family took their time to get to the pick up spot and we waited for them. The name of the tour should be stop and go Oahu, as most of the stops we under 7 minutes. The exceptions were lunch, Macadamia Nut tourist stop, Snorkeling and finally Dole Planation. On that point the Dole Plantation stop was more of Dole Plantation Store stop. You barely had time to go into the store and shop. You saw nothing of the plantation or anything about growing pineapples. We really liked the Macadamia very nice free coffee and nut samples and no pressure to by anything. Robert was very nice and the same family that held us up in the AM held us up at the snorkeling trip almost 15 minutes. The other stops were very good for taking a few photos and Robert was very knowledgeable. We brought our own snacks drinks and lunch as we like what we like to eat. Others seemed to enjoy the $15 on average lunch at the stop we made as this is not included in the tour. FYI, tour guide did not enforce mask wearing on the small van, was talking on the cell phone while driving, did not wear a seat belt and as stated above rushed us on all stops except the ones mentioned. We never spent 20 minutes at any picture stops. Overall, if this is your first time to Oahu and want just a flavor of the island, with the Groupon coupon, it is worth it. Mahalo

Amazing. Went on an island tour and snorkeled with the turtles. Thank you Kanamu, you were the best tour guide! Was informative, fun and one of the best tours we’ve taken on vacation. Highly recommend, just wish me and my fiancée had taken a pic with our wonderful tour guide. Thanks, Konami!!
