Oahu Grand Circle Island Experience Departing from the Big Island
Overview
Big Island tour heads to the legendary North Shore, where world champions compete every November and December at famous Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach. The tour passes through charming Haleiwa Town, with its many galleries, shops, and cafes. Enroute, we stop at Dole Pineapple Plantation, where you can learn all about Hawaii’s legendary pineapple crop. Our breathtaking voyage continues as we take in the valleys and cliffs of the emerald green Koolau Mountains and the rocky shoreline of South Oahu. Amazing panoramic views await you at Nuuanu Pali Lookout, Makapuu Point, and Hanauma Bay. Along the way, we’ll stop for lunch at a secret oceanfront location that you’ll love.
You’ll travel in comfort and luxury in our well maintained mini bus and enjoy the intimate personal experience of our small group tours. We’ll have you back to Honolulu Airport in plenty of time for your return flight to Big Island.
