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.

This tour is great!! It circumvent the entire island and you get to visit a bunch of cool attractions and food. My tour guide was Eddie, a local born and raised in Oahu. He was excellent, informative, and naturally funny. I'm a solo traveler and Eddie made me feel very comfortable. Absolutely lovely, I couldn't think of a better way to spend my morning. Thanks a bunch!!

I was blown away by how amazing Kanamu (tour guide) Was , her knowledge was deep in the culture of Hawaii , snorkeling was great and the food was better , but what made the trip extra special is Kanamu attention to the whole group , like a mother looking after her small children (us) she talked to all the people on the tour and made it feel personal , even my son (7yrs) who’s very shy loved talking to her when she asked him questions

We had a medical emergency the morning of the tour that made keeping our commitment extremely hard, so we called them and asked if there was anyway we could reschedule for the next available tour the lady on the phone said it was fine and there was an opening on Wednesday. Then later on in the day we got a call from Carlos saying his boss said since we didn't cancel 24 hours in advance (obviously because the emergency happened the morning of) that we can't get a refund and also if we wanted to keep our rescheduled tour we would have to pay again. I understand there are policies and I get it but there are certainly circumstances that should be considered. Oh and not to mention they roped us in with a discount and only told us after we paid to receive the discount we had to go to a time share presentation which later in that conversation we were told (after we already paid) that we didn't qualify which of course made us pay the difference. These people don't care about making your experience special they literally are borderline dishonest and only want your money DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!!!!!!
