About this experience
This completely customizable 7-8 hour full day private circle island tour accommodates up to 6 people and reveals Oahu-from world-famous North Shore surf breaks to sacred Hawaiian temple sites tucked away in lush valleys.
Your day starts with pickup from your hotel, cruise pier, or airport in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan. We'll cruise past legendary surf spots like Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay, stopping wherever catches your eye. You'll taste Hawaii's best-locally-grown coffee, chocolate, and macadamia nuts, plus those irresistible frozen treats at Dole Plantation. Hunt for endangered sea turtles on a secluded beach, then browse Haleiwa's galleries where you'll feel the authentic North Shore vibe.
The cultural stops are equally impressive. The stunning Byodo-In Temple recreates a 900-year-old Japanese Buddhist temple, while Nu'uanu Pali Lookout delivers those postcard-perfect panoramic views. Ancient Hawaiian cliff-top temple grounds and traditional fishpond restoration sites with Koa wood canoe repair workshops showcase the islands' living heritage.
Want to enhance your tour? Add Waimea Valley and Falls ($30 per person) for a botanical garden stroll to a waterfall, or Byodo-In Temple ($10 per person). Explore zipline adventures and Polynesian Cultural Center villages with additional pricing available upon request. Along the way, we'll grab Leonard's famous malasadas (Portuguese donuts), shrimp plates, and shave ice while learning about Hawaii's history from Polynesian arrival through the Kingdom era to today.
This tour welcomes all ages and accommodates strollers, folding wheelchairs, or lightweight scooters. You must be able to get in and out of the vehicle. Starting from $550 for 1-2 people, your experience includes private transportation, guide services, Nu'uanu Pali Lookout admission, and bottled water. For Ko'olina/Disney's Aulani Resort, add $125. Larger vehicles available with advance notice. Child car seats and booster seats available upon request. Lunch and snacks not included. Tours operate rain or shine with full refunds for cancellations made 72+ hours prior by phone.
