WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
The first lookout we visit is an elevated view perched on the eastern side of Waikiki’s famous Diamond Head Volcano, This lookout grants us a great opportunity for pictures of the south eastern coastline of Oahu, with notable sights as far as Hanauma bay and Maui on a clear day. The location is more formally known as Amelia Earhart Lookout, known for where bystanders gathered to watch Earhart make her first solo aviation journey from Hawaii to North America.
2.
Molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions that occurred from Oahu’s Koko Head crater formed the natural occurrence known as the Halona Blowhole. This lava tube extends into the ocean with a very narrow opening at the top, and when the surf is just right, water pressure builds up within the lava tube and erupts through the narrow opening creating a special Hawaiian Geyser for your viewing pleasure.
3.
Witness Waimanalo’s dramatic sea cliffs as we turn into Oahu’s windward side as we begin our journey to the North Shore of Oahu. Look off into the azure blue waters of the bay and you will see Oahu’s famous Manana Island also known as Rabbit island due to its Rabbit like shape.
4.
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. Our guests describe this destination as beautiful, peaceful, and restful. Admissions is included with the price of tour.
5.
After a beautiful drive along Oahu’s eastern coastline, our next stop is a local shop that finds itself tucked away under aged Banyan Trees with macadamia nut and delicious Kona coffee tastings, along with very tempting Hawaiian chocolates amongst other treats.
6.
Chinaman’s Hat, also known as Mokoli’i, is nestled right next to the Kualoa Valley Mountain range. This location is known for its dramatic landscape filmed in a number of Hollywood movies; most notably and fan favorite Jurassic Park. The island has earned the nickname Chinaman’s Hat from its resemblance to the straw hats that the Chinese immigrants wore when working Oahu’s sugar plantations during the early 1900’s.
7.
We break for lunch at a local restaurant where you can have your pick of either a famous North Shore Garlic Shrimp plate or other local delicacies. Non-Shellfish and Vegetarian options are available. Please bring cash for lunch.
8.
After lunch we make a stop at a North Shore tropical fruit stand which offers ice cold coconuts to drink from, fresh mangos, and other tropical treats.
9.
A change of pace from the crowded beaches of Waikiki, The infamous Sunset Beach on the North Shore offers tranquility and is the epitome of a beautiful Hawaiian Beach. However don’t lets the summer months fool you, during the winter months, swells of 30 to 40 feet can be seen from the safe confines of shore.
10.
Hono is the Hawaiian name for our beloved Green Sea Turtles. Our Honu are very Hawaiian in that they love to lay on the sand and bask under the warm sun. We take you to a beach where we hope to spot this incredible occurrence.
11.
A historic pineapple plantation home to pineapple magnets, pineapple t-shirts, pineapple keychains and most importantly pineapple ice cream aka Dole Whip!! A great way to end the day and get some pineapple themed souvenirs for your friends and family back home.

The Hidden Gems of Oahu was a wonderful time for the entire family. Our tour guide Robert was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was relaxing to be driven around the island, taking in all the sites and not having to worry about driving. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to have a relaxing day and still see many of the important places around Oahu.

Overall experience was great, our tour guide Collin was very knowledgeable and informative about all the locations we stopped at and some of the places we drove passed. The different sight seeing spots will range between 10min to 30min. Which is just barley enough time to grab a couple pictures, sight see, grab souvenirs, or food. So you do need to move quick if you are trying to get the most out of each stop. I do recommend getting the lunch option at Tanaka Kahuku as the shrimp and rice was delicious. But other than that this is still a great tour to get to know about the history of Hawaii and its locations.

The tour guide had an engaging personality. However, he should practice effective pauses and breaks speaking and narrating throughout the tour. The last stop at the Dole Plantation should be longer in duration.

The driver, Rocky is very knowledgeable and fun tour guide. We learned a lot of history and culture about the island. We even learned how to speak like Hawaiian. We took a lot of photo and had a wonderful time.

RJ is awesome. Raul drives great! One pity thing is not seeing turtles clearly. It is far and hiding in the ocean. I recommend changing the turtle spot to laniakea beach. There are many turtles. They enjoy sunshine there so we can get a closer look.

We had an amazing day circling the island with RJ our tour guide. We had a very pleasant time at all the many stops, and it was such an easy experience. Our driver Raul was very safe. RJ is the best guide you could ask for — the real hidden gem of the tour!
