Ultimate Circle Island Tour

Overview

This small-group circle-island tour of Oahu is ideal for those who want to see a lot in a short time.

In a cozy vehicle with no more than 11 passengers, you'll see such landmarks as Diamond Head, the Halona Blowhole, Byodo-In Temple, North Shore and the historic Haleiwa Town.

What To Expect

Diamond Head Crater

To start the day you'll get to see Oahu's most famous volcano that is Diamond Head! While driving around the ocean side of this amazing crater we'll get to pass by the Amelia Earhart monument where witnesses got to see her take off for the first ever flight from Hawaii to the mainland in 1935! Just pass that youll spot Diamond Head Lookout to see impressive views of the south shore. TO CLARIFY WE CANT GO INSIDE DIAMOND HEAD CRATER TO HIKE AS YOU NEED RESERVATIONS BOOKED AHEAD OF TIME

Kahala

Ever wanted to see the Beverly Hills of Hawaii? With us you'll get the chance to go through one of Hawaii's most luxurious neighborhoods that also happens to be the home of the Sony Open, one of golfs most important tournaments!

Halona Blowhole

Halona blowhole is an old lava tube that can push ocean water 30ft in the air like a geyser! Here we'll also get to see Halona Cove which has a beautiful beach that many movies have been filmed at such as "50 First Dates"

Makapu'u Point

One of the most stunning views on the island! From this lookout point youll be able to see an amazing view of the east side of the island and for the adventurous a small hop over the rail will lead you to hidden military bunkers

Byodo-In Temple

Looking for a Zen retreat tucked away in the mountains? At Byodo-In you'll get to explore an old Japanese Buddhist temple that has a koi fish pond, garden, and a beautiful black swan that roams the property! There is a fee to enter the temple but no need to worry we cover the cost

Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)

Try free samples of Hawaiian coffee and various macadamia nuts at this local farm outlet! Its also a great place to grab souvenirs for yourself or a special person back home

North Shore

Everyone's favorite part of the day! While on the north shore you'll get the chance to see many attractions such as Banzai Pipeline, Sharks Cove, Food truck park (lunch not included), and Waimea bay. At these stops you'll have the options to swim, explore, eat, and snorkel at one of Oahu's most beautiful locations! And if you don't feel like getting wet no need to worry as there are many places to relax and enjoy the views

Haleiwa Town Center

Once a sugar cane plantation town in the 1800's, Haleiwa is now a popular tour spot filled with local shops, cafes, art galleries, and Matsumoto’s iconic Shave Ice!

Dole Plantation

Mike was great! Very helpful and kind! Could have easily canceled on us for not having enough bookings like the other companies do but he still took us out on a private tour! Although I’m sure he is just as great in a group it was nice to be able to have one on one time as well to ask questions and have conversations throughout the day! Absolutely loved having the extra time at the north shore and snorkeling in sharks cove! There was tons of fish and a good snorkeling area for all ages and skill level! My husband is allergic to shrimp So it was nice to have a tour that stopped at a place with options and not just fumi’s shrimp truck! Mike went out of his way to make our tour special and was flexible making sure the day was focused on our enjoyment! Would definitely do a tour with them again!

Not many "Circle Island" tour stops in Byodo-InTemple. That's why I selected this itinerary. Mike our driver/guide, made our tour memorable. We are very lucky to be in a very small group. So, Mike was able to manage the tour in our time. Since we have few more times left, he asked us if there's any place we want to see. I asked him if Leonard's is on our way back to hotel. With no hesitation, he made a stop there. Good thing the line was short so were able to buy some malasadas.
