Oahu Grand Circle Island Tour
See all of Oahu's best attractions on this grand circle island tour. Your journey begins in Waikiki, then heads past Diamond Head and the upscale beachfront homes in Kahala.
Next up is the Halona Blowhole, a natural underwater lava tube that shoots water up into the air when the ocean pushes waves into it. Continuing north, driving through Waimanalo town will allow you to see the small-town side of Oahu. At the Pali Lookout you'll be standing at the edge of a mountain cliff and enjoy panoramic views of a large stretch of Oahu's windward coast.
After heading down the mountain, we'll be heading north along the windward coast. As you reach Oahu's famed North Shore, there will be a stop at Pounders restaurant, a farm fresh island style dining restaurant, serving fresh produce from island farms. Lunch is not included in the pricing of the tour. You have the option to preorder your meal so that it will be ready upon arrival. Payment is made directly to the restaurant.
After lunch, the tour continues by some of the best big wave surfing beaches in the world, including Sunset Beach, Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay. The last stop on this Oahu grand circle island tour is at the Dole Plantation in Central Oahu, where you'll have the chance to visit their gift shop and try their delicious Dole Whip ice cream. All along the way you'll learn about the history and culture of Oahu from your professional tour guide.
