Narrative
During most land tours on O'ahu you only get to see a fraction of the islands many memorable locations, and while making very few stops to actually explore them. Not here! Come with us on a trip around the island to see everything from the Pearl Harbor Museum to Nu'uanu Pali Lookout to look around and explore in depth, all while getting to drive past and view locations like the famous North Shore of O'ahu and the Dole Plantation.
Experience the best of O'ahu with a private guide and a vehicle tailored to your group size. Whether you prefer SUVs, Metris, Mercedes sprinters, or luxury mini-buses, we can accommodate groups of all sizes. Enjoy a full day of touring, approximately 8-9 hours, with your dedicated guide and vehicle. We provide tickets to the iconic Arizona Memorial, the most popular attraction on O'ahu, and offer numerous opportunities to visit other incredible places around the island.
See the Dole Plantation, take in the beautiful North Shore O'ahu beaches, marvel at the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout and its stunning views, and visit the Byodo-in Temple, among many more. Tour stops are subject to change as necessitated by the weather, or other unforeseen circumstances, as we do all we can to ensure you enjoy the tour in safety.
