Circle Island Tours

Waikiki Pickup (7:00 am – 7:30 am)

At 7:00 am, our shuttle will pick up your group in Waikiki. Our local tour guide will brief you on your day of venturing throughout Oahu! Depending on the hotel, the pickup time may change. Once you fill out your information on our booking website, the pickup time will be automatically assigned.

Diamond Head Lookout

Our beginning stop will be the Diamond Head State Monument, for which Waikiki is famed. It is an expansive view nestled on the eastern side of Waikiki. It offers excellent photo-taking opportunities for Hanauma Bay or even Maui on a clear day.

Halona Blowhole

The Halona Blowhole is an oceanic geyser from the volcanic lava tubes near Koko Head. When the volcanoes on Oahu erupted thousands of years ago, the molten lava carved out tunnels for the lava to travel through. Today, where the tube's mouth meets the Pacific Ocean, the water pressure starts from the beginning of the tubes out in the sea and builds up in an opening near the shore in a spirited gust of water.

Makapu'u Point

Veering our tour away from the populated south side, we will travel the Windward side towards the North Shore. You will see the wonder of Waimanalo's sea cliffs and the calm waters near Manana Island or Rabbit Island.

Byodo In Temple

Opened in 1968, The Byodo-In Temple is a non-denominational Buddhist temple constructed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first arrival of Japanese immigrants. The temple features a location in a lush tropical setting, with enormous koi ponds and miniature waterfalls. This setting is so tranquil that it is a must-see experience.

Hawaiian Coffee and Macadamia Nut Tastings

Once we get along the island's eastern coast, we'll stop at a local shop that provides savory macadamia nuts, Kona Coffee samples, and other treats like Hawaiian chocolates.

Chinaman's Hat and Kualoa Valley Mountain Range

A little slice of Hollywood next as we pass the Kualoa Valley Mountain Range. While passing the mountain valley, we can also view the Chinaman's Hat or Mokoli'i offshore island. Kualoa Valley and Koaloa Ranch is a serene mountain valley that has gained the attention of Hollywood with blockbuster movies and many more filmed there. Chinaman's Hat is an offshore island derived from the Chinese migrants who came to work on the sugar cane plantations in the late 19th - early 20th century and donned plantation straw hats resembling the island's look.

La'ie Point State Wayside

Laie Point: is a famous natural arch formed after a tsunami in April 1946. Laie Point is a quiet, out-of-the-way area known for its rugged beauty and breathtaking views of the Windward coastline and cliffs.

Famous North Shore Shrimp Lunch at Local Hawaiian Restaurant

Stopping for a lunch break at a local North Shore shrimp shack, you get to choose a variety of shrimp delicacies, or non-shellfish options are available. As some stores don't accept credit cards, please make sure you bring cash.

Kahuku Local Fruits Stand

After lunch, we will stop at local fruit delights such as drinkable cold fresh coconuts, mangoes, and other tropical sweets.

North Shore Sunset Beach

Serenity, without the hassle of the crowded Waikiki beaches, so if you wish to swim in the Pacific Ocean in this tropical utopia, pack all your beach essentials because experiencing this tranquil stop is a must. The waves calmly splash in the summer, unlike the winter, where you can see 30-40 foot swells from shore.

Hawaii Green Sea Turtle Spotting

With luck, when you take the tour to another beach where you have a chance to spot the honu or green sea turtles. The honu turtles love the beach just as much as we do. The turtles can sometimes be seen basking on the sand under the sun.
