About this experience
This private Oahu circle island tour & helicopter flight offers a comprehensive way to experience the island, combining ground exploration with aerial views. The tour spends approximately 8 hours on the ground followed by 55 minutes soaring above-revealing Oahu's hidden gems and iconic landmarks from every angle. Your adventure kicks off at 9am with free pickup from your Waikiki hotel in a spacious, luxury vehicle. The five-star rated guides take you to over 40 spots with approximately 12 stops that most visitors never discover. You'll visit the World War I Memorial salt water swim stadium and a secluded beach where Hawaiian monk seals bask in the sun-places away from the tourist crowds. Movie buffs will recognize filming locations from Godzilla, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park, and Hawaii Five-0. Nature enthusiasts can spot green sea turtles at Laniakea Beach and feel the spray from Halona Blowhole's powerful volcanic formation. The journey continues to Diamond Head Beach Lookout for seasonal whale watching, the notorious Sandy Beach lookout, and Makapu'u Lookout with its WWII bunkers. You'll cruise through Waimanalo Beach (ranked number one in the USA by Huffington Post), sample free macadamia nuts at a local farm, and visit legendary North Shore surf spots like Pipeline and Sunset Beach. The ground tour wraps up near the famous Dole Pineapple fields before transitioning to your semi-private helicopter flight. The helicopter portion accommodates up to 6 passengers for approximately 55 minutes of aerial exploration over Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head Crater, Downtown Honolulu, and Oahu's largest waterfall. Tours accommodate maximum 14 guests with moderate walking required. Passengers over 250 pounds must purchase 50% of an additional helicopter seat, and there's a $60 per person fuel surcharge at check-in. This private Oahu circle island tour & helicopter flight runs from 9am to 5pm and includes expert guides, luxury transportation, bottled water, and free Waikiki hotel pickup and drop-off.
