WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
An exciting journey of discovery through the beautiful Amelia Earhart Point on the ocean-facing slopes of Diamond Head Crater (drive-by), the famous Halona Blowhole, “From Here to Eternity” beach, Makapu’u Point (drive-by), visit Valley of the Temples, colorful Byodo-in Temple and scenic Mokoli'i Island. Includes a delicious lunch at the famous Tanaka Kahuku Shrimp on the North Shore where you'll be served your choice of various sautéed shrimp plates. *Chicken and Veggie options are also available. World famous Waimea Valley, the Arboretum and Waterfall are next, followed by the Dole Pineapple Plantation. Your expert nature guide will provide a fascinating narration about Hawaii's bird and plant species, geology, history and culture. Tour includes all admission fees to the visited locations, also includes the lunch, and each party also receives a 152-page Gift Book "Guide to Nature on Oahu" as a souvenir! It is a $47.00 added value that WE pay. We'll never ask you to pay out of pocket.
2.
This is a drive-by (not a stop!) on the ocean-facing outside slopes of the world-famous icon of Hawaii, Diamond Head Crater and the Amelia Earhart monument which overlooks the Pacific Ocean as the 100,000-year-old volcanic crater towers above you. *This tour does not include an entry inside the crater, only a drive-by on the outer flanks of it. Hiking to the top from inside the crater floor is included in the three-hour Diamond Head hiking tours.
3.
This is an intriguing geographical spot where the ocean has undercut the lava and drilled a hole through to the top. On the other side of the lookout point at Halona you can watch for Green Sea Turtles which are spotted often in the emerald green waters of the " From Here To Eternity Cove" made famous by the only Oscar-winning movie made in Hawaii. **Please note, that our coastlines do have potentially dangerous rip-currents and shore breaks, so as responsible tour operators we can not allow any swimming at the Blowhole for your own safety.
4.
We continue to visit Sandy Beach, a beautiful sandy-bottom beach that looks peaceful and serene but is known for its notoriously powerful shore-breaks. *Please note, that our coastlines and especially that particular beach have dangerous shore breaks so as responsible tour operators we can not allow any swimming at Sandy Beach for your own safety.
5.
Beautiful coastal vistas and views of offshore islands.
6.
The Nuuanu Pali State Wayside is a lookout above the Pali Highway tunnels where you’re treated to a panoramic view of Oahu's Windward side with sweeping views of Kaneohe, Kaneohe Bay and Kailua. It’s also well known for strong tradewinds, forming a natural wind tunnel of sorts. It was here in 1795 that Kamehameha The Great conquered the island of Oahu in one of the bloodiest battles in Hawaiian history. Led by Kalanikupule, the defenders of Oahu were driven back up into the valley where they were trapped above the cliff. More than 400 of Kalanikupule's soldiers were driven off the edge of the cliff to their deaths 1,000 feet below.
7.
The Temple grounds are a lushly landscaped paradise nestled in a cleft of the pali and are home to wild peacocks and hundreds of Japanese koi carp. The beautiful grounds include a large reflecting pond, meditation niches, and small waterfalls. Visitors describe this destination as beautiful, peaceful, and restful. The TV series Hawaii Five-O and Magnum, P.I. featured several episodes where the temple is incorporated into the plot. The temple and its gardens also appeared in an episode of the ABC series Lost, "House of the Rising Sun" in season one as the home of Sun's father.
8.
Scenic vistas await you at Mokoli'i...
9.
*LUNCHSTOP! continuing north to Kahuku, we visit a shrimp farm and one of the locals' favorite shrimp trucks, Tanaka Kahuku Shrimp, where you will be served a delicious garlic shrimp, fish, or chicken plate and a drink (*vegetarian options are also available). After lunch, you can observe our endangered native wetland birds, and learn about Hawaiian aquaculture from your tour guide. *Lunch is included in the tour price!
10.
This is the legendary big-wave surfing location where towering, giant waves arrive and surfing contests are held between November-April.
11.
Next we visit Waimea Valley and Waterfall. This enchanting location showcases over 5,000 species of tropical flowering plants, ancient archaeological sites, and one of the most scenic waterfalls on the island. There is a paved path inside the Arboretum that provides easy walking access to the waterfall.
12.
Dole Plantation has a plantation country store offering a wide variety of Dole Plantation gifts, local favorites, foods and refreshments including DoleWhip®.

Our guide Brandon, was amazing! We got to see some iconic spots on the island and Brandon was so knowledgeable about the beautiful flora and wildlife we saw. He even scrambled around on the beach to catch some ghost crabs for us to hold and see up close. He walked and talked with us explaining as we went along. He was very personable and truly has a teacher’s heart. You can see the passion he has for the island. He asked multiple times how he could make our trip better and was so hospitable! He was so fun to listen to all day, he is so funny, had great stories, and we were never bored! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

So many memorable parts! Branden was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about all the history of each area, site and the ecosystem. And he was very considerate to everyone on the tour. The tour bus driver, Anthony, was excellent and drove safely. Every site was absolutely beautiful and awe inspiring.

It was indeed a best way to roam around Oahu. Dole plantation was a disappointment. Tour guide was awesome and driver was really excellent. They give enough time to freshen up and board the bus. Tour guide provided the so much history and background of each spot. I would definitely recommend this tour. We did spend total 12 hours on this tour. Make sure you have that much time and energy before you book this tour.

Had a great time and learned a lot about the islands, the people and the environment as well as our effect on plant and animal life on land and in the ocean. Would certainly recommend this tour to anyone planning to come to Hawaii.
