Guided full day tour of Oahu, departing from Waikiki

As the main island in the Hawaiian archipelago, Oahu has so much to see and do! From jaw-dropping views to quaint towns, sweeping farms, and gorgeous beaches all around the island, it can feel a bit overwhelming to decide what to see and where to go. While most visitors only take the time to see Waikiki and a couple other main sites, Ultimate Circle Island Tours makes it fun and easy to experience Oahu’s highlights!

To begin your guided sightseeing tour of Oahu, the tour will make its way from Waikiki to the Diamond Head lookout where you will be able to take in the views and walk around the beautiful East Honolulu neighbourhood. Next up, as you drive along the incredibly scenic coastal route, are a few more viewpoint stops including the Halona Blowhole and the Makapu'u lookout where you will be able to get out of the bus, stretch your legs, and take photos. After a bathroom and giftshopping break in the town of Waimanalo, the tour will take you along the windward side of the island to Kualoa Regional Park where you will get the best view of Mokoli’i island, also known as Chinaman’s hat.

As the sightseeing tour of Oahu continues around the island, you will reach the North Shore where it will be time for a delicious lunch at the Tanaka Kahuku shack. There will be more than just shrimp on the menu (and you are welcome to bring your own food), but keep in mind the garlic shrimp is a North Shore classic! After lunch, you’ll stop by at a local fruit stand where you can find all manner of tropical local fruits for desserts (try ice cream bananas if they have them!) and then the tour will drive by Waimea Bay and the Banzai Pipeline on the way to a Macadamia Nut Farm. Macadamias are ubiquitous in Hawaii, and at the farm you’ll be able to learn more about their production and try free samples of mac nuts and coffee.

After ample time to digest and sightsee after lunch, it is time for some snorkelling! The tour will take you to the hidden gem area of Turtle Beach where you will get to swim with Hawaiian Sea Turtles and tropical fish or simply relax on the beach! After Turtle Beach, the tour will take you through the quaint North Shore town of Haleiwa and onwards to the Dole Plantation where you will learn about the how the humble pineapple has influenced Hawaii’s culture and history and indulge in dole whip (dairy-free pineapple soft serve) and pineapple juice. After the Dole Plantation, your Oahu tour will make one last stop at Green World Coffee where you will tour their grove of over 3000 Arabica coffee trees and try samples of the locally grown and produced coffee as well as tea.
