A Day Filled with Iconic Stops
Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from select Waikiki hotels. From there, you’ll board an air-conditioned minibus and set off to capture stunning views at Diamond Head. Snap that perfect photo at the Amelia Earhart Lookout, and feel the energy of Oahu’s south eastern coastline.
Next, marvel at the natural spectacle of the Halona Blowhole, where ocean waves forcefully burst through a lava tube, creating an impressive water geyser. As you head to Makapu’u Point, take in the dramatic sea cliffs and the picturesque view of Manana Island—often affectionately called Rabbit Island.
Explore Local Flavors and Natural Wonders
Your journey continues with a taste of local culture. Visit a charming macadamia nut farm outlet tucked under ancient Banyan trees, where you can sample fresh macadamia nuts, Kona coffee, and even tempting Hawaiian chocolates. Then, catch a glimpse of Mokoli’i Island (Chinaman’s Hat) near Kualoa Bay—a favorite backdrop in Hollywood films.
The tour also treats you to a delectable North Shore shrimp lunch on a local Hawaiian farm, where you can savor garlic shrimp, coconut shrimp, and Kalua pork (with vegetarian options available—just remember to bring cash for lunch). Afterward, enjoy stops at tropical fruit stands offering ice-cold coconuts and fresh mangos, before relaxing at the serene Sunset Beach.
Snorkel with Hawaii’s Beloved Green Sea Turtles
No trip to Oahu is complete without getting in the water. The tour wraps up with an exciting snorkeling experience at a designated Green Sea Turtle Beach on the North Shore. With snorkeling gear provided, spend an hour swimming among these gentle creatures as they bask in the Hawaiian sun.
