Your day begins with a flight to Honolulu, where you'll be met curbside at the inter-island terminal. Our small group tours, limited to 10 guests, ensure a personal and memorable experience on Oʻahu.
Our first stop is Pearl Harbor, where you can visit the USS Arizona Memorial, explore the visitor center's museums, and view historic World War II footage. This experience isn't just for history buffs - it's a fantastic learning opportunity for the whole family.
Next, we journey to Oʻahu's windward side, stopping at iconic Oʻahu locations and historic sites. These picturesque sites, charming farms, and breathtaking viewpoints all have fascinating stories to tell. Your guide will provide a vivid depiction of life on the islands based on their personal experiences.
We pause for lunch at the Hukilau Marketplace, where you'll find a variety of dining options. Lunch is included in this tour and you can customize your choices. Recharge before entering the center to partake in Polynesian cultural activities, games, shows, and demonstrations.
The Polynesian Cultural Center is a highlight of this tour, immersing you in the diverse cultures of Polynesia. Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, Hawaiʻi, Tonga, and New Zealand are well-represented through games, shows, songs, and stories. The few hours spent here will pass by quickly as you explore the villages and exhibits and converse with the performers who share their experiences from their native lands. Your guide will ensure you visit the top spots and don't miss any highlights!
After a few scenic picture stops, we'll return you to the airport for your evening flight back to the outer islands.
