Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Kapiolani Park, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii
Good Morning! With transportation from Waikiki included, our circle-island tour of Oahu begins at 8:30 AM with a view of the infamous crater Diamond Head from Kapiolani Park as we fuel up with a tasty scone from the local favorite Diamond Head Grill.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Makapu'u Point, Oahu, Hawaii
Next, we visit the gorgeous healing pool of Makapu’u, where ancient Hawaiians performed spiritual cleansing to keep the mind and body in balance.
Here you will enjoy the awe-inspiring views of the Oahu’s Windward coastline and shimmering turquoise waters. As we depart from Makapu’u, take in the majestic Ko’olau Mountain Range views as we head to our next stop.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Waiahole Beach Park, Waikane, Oahu, Hawaii
From there, we head to our first meal stop of the day at Waiahole Poi Factory.
Tucked away in the quiet backcountry of Kaneohe, the Waiahole Poi Factory offers traditional Hawaiian favorites like Kalua Pig, squid luau, and, of course, poi!
Poi is a paste made by grinding a Hawaiian root, or “taro.” If you’re lucky, you might see it being made!
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Tropical Farms Macadamia Nut Farm and Farm Tour, Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii
But don’t get too full off of these delicacies, because our next stop is the Macadamia Nut Farm.
See how they harvest these healthy snacks and sample the island’s freshest macadamia nuts and Big Island coffee. Visit the gift shop for the perfect easy souvenir to take home!
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kualoa Regional Park, Oahu, Hawaii
Next, see one of the island’s most iconic views at Kualoa Beach Park. Nicknamed “Chinaman’s Hat,” the famous Mokoli’i island lies just off the coast.
Young Hawaiian chiefs used to practice for their roles in this sacred space during ancient times. And behind the park, the steep, ridge-lined Ko’olau cliffs shoot up into the sky for a panoramic view!
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kahuku Farms, Kahuku, Oahu, Hawaii
After the fun in the sun at this energy-filled stop – you guessed it – we’re ready for more food!
We’ll then serve up Hawaiian Kahuku-style garlic shrimp at Fumi’s in Kahuku, the birthplace of this style of shrimp! Check out the shrimp ponds in this area.
Right nearby, you can pick up refreshing tropical fruits like mango or lilikoi (passion fruit) at the Kahuku Land Farm. All of the fruits sold at the farm are 100% organically grown!
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Sunset Beach Park, Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii
A popular surfing spot, this beach is known for its prime sunset views on a clear da. During the winter season, take in thrilling waves. But we’re not done – there’s still three more stops on this full-day tour!
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Pua`ena Point Beach Park, Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii
After enjoying the fruit, we’ll take you to a popular spot to see the “Honu,” or Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle! They often come ashore at this scenic point location to sunbathe.
In Hawaii, Honu are known to be the guardians and navigators of the sea. We will connect with them from a distance, as they are federally protected.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Haleiwa Town Center, Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii
We’ll continue our journey onto the historic surf town of Haleiwa. Stroll around, check out the shops and art galleries of this artistic community.
After you’re done shopping, try a colorful, cooling dessert at Matsumoto Shave Ice!
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Kukaniloko Birthing Stones, Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii
Last but not least, the Island and You tour gives you the important chance to respect and connect to true Hawaii through a spiritual visit to Kukaniloko Birthstone State Monument.
This sacred site was once used as a place for Hawaiian Ali’i, or Royalty, to give birth. When a child was conceived here, ancient Hawaiians believed they would someday be a chief. Legend has it that visiting this location eases the pain of giving birth for future mothers.
