PRIVATE Complete Island Tour with Waterfall

This private, full-day tour circles Oahu with a dedicated guide who doubles as a photography coach, taking photos of guests and sharing tips along the way. Pickup and drop-off at a Waikiki hotel are included, and the day runs from the southeastern coast through the North Shore and back. Stops include Waimea Valley, where guests walk through botanical gardens and can swim in the pool at the base of Waimea Falls, the Byodo-In Temple set against the Ko'olau Mountains, Kualoa Beach Park, the Pali Lookout, and the Makapu'u Lookout. The tour also passes through Haleiwa and stops at the Kahuku food truck area for lunch, though food beyond a Leonard's Bakery malasada per guest is not included. Guests ride in an air-conditioned van throughout. The tour suits travelers who want flexibility, since the itinerary can be adjusted to linger at places that interest them most. Comfortable walking shoes are a good idea, and a swimsuit is useful for the waterfall stop. The tour does not run in certain weather conditions, so checking before the day is worthwhile.
