What To Expect

Waikiki Beach

Our tour begins with free pick up at designated Waikiki hotels and meet up locations. The fun starts here with our local drivers introducing themselves and taking you out for a memorable, guided road trip around the island.

Diamond Head State Monument

Our first stop is at Diamond Head Lookout. Diamond Head is an extinct volcano and the most iconic landmark for Hawaii. We will take you to the scenic lookout facing the beautiful south shore. Look for the Amelia Earhart marker, which commemorates the first solo flight from Hawaii to North America in 1935.

Halona Blowhole

Continuing on the shoreline passing by Hanauma Bay and Koko Head Crater, we'll take you to witness a spectacular blowhole that was formed thousands of years ago from the volcanic Koko Crater. The molten lava flowed down from the crater and formed a lava tube. When the waves crash onto this volcanic rock formation, the lava tube forces the ocean water to blow up like a geyser over 50 ft. high. You can also see layers beyond layers of past volcanic extinction activities from this scenic point.

Eternity Beach

Nestled below the highway from the Koko Crater, you will find a gorgeous "secret" beach. During low tides, you can see people jumping off the lower cliffs and swimming in this beautiful secluded beach. It’s also known as Eternity Beach famed by the 1953 movie “From Here to Eternity”.

Makapu'u Point

Traversing the narrow winding road from Sandy beach and Halona Blowhole, we'll arrive at the most beautiful southern tip of the island. Along the way, you'll see spectacular cliffs that drop off thousands of feet to the ocean due to volcanic activities. It is a sight to behold with clear, turquoise ocean water and Rabbit Island in the background. Perfect for Instagram selfies or hang-it-on-the-wall kind of family photos.

Waimanalo

As we escape the southern volcanic tip of Oahu, we'll continue our journey through the lush rainforest and Ko'olau Mountains on the windward coastline. Along the route, you'll see some of most gorgeous white sand beaches starting with Waimanalo beach that stretches for miles with clear, turquoise-blue Pacific Ocean water.

Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)

Slightly hidden away in a lush rainforest is an attraction that's popular with locals and tourists. This Macadamia Nut farm welcomes you with complimentary Kona coffee and free samples of their macadamia nuts. Try all the different flavors. Watch out for wild chickens running around the back of the farm that are waiting for you to drop some macadamia nuts after you have cracked them. Take in the mesmerizing views of the Ko'olau mountains as you leave the attraction.

Mokoli’i Island

Beautiful island shaped like a hat. Also known as Mokoli’i island, it sits right across from the Kualoa ranch valley. The amazing view of the Ko'olau Mountain range at Chinaman’s Hat beach park will take your breath away as it rises up to the heaven. If it rains overnight, you can see waterfalls flowing down. Great opportunity for some wild photos with the island on top of your head or in the palm of your hand.

Kualoa Ranch

We’ll pass by the iconic Kualoa Ranch Valley. It’s where they filmed famous movies and T.V. shows, such as Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, King Kong, Lost, Hawaii Five-O, Magnum P. I., 50 First Dates... etc.

Kahuku

Tropical fruit stands on the side of the road. Who doesn't want to stop and check it out?! After lunch you can enjoy some refreshing ice cold coconut, dragon fruits, mangoes, jackfruits, or whichever tropical fruits are in season during your visit.

Sunset Beach

One of the Triple Crown of Surfing at North Shore professional surfing beaches. It’s known for big wave surfing which can reach over 40 ft high during the winter season. It’s also the best beach to take in the sunset. This is an optional stop if parking is available and local rules continue to allow it.

Waimea Bay

Famous for its big waves surfing tournament called "The Eddie". This competition happens only when swells reach a minimum height of 60 feet. It's named after the waterman lifeguard Eddie Aikau. Look out for an iconic 30 ft rock on the bay that people jump off into the ocean after the winter swells are finished.

Haleiwa

We'll drive through the historic town of Haleiwa, the gateway to the North shore surfing beaches. Also very popular for its niche surf shops and laid back atmosphere.

Dole Plantation

Finally, a chance for you to enjoy some fresh pineapple ice cream (Dole Whip). You may recognize the brand from stickers on its banana. This huge pineapple plantation is the only one in the entire North America. We'll drive by and show you the vast pineapple fields and take you inside its welcome center. You can walk the garden and see how various pineapple varieties are cultivated. A popular attraction for everyone and a great way to end our amazing road trip.
