Waikiki
Our shuttle will arrive at 7:20am for pick up in Waikiki, with a local guide to help you prepare for a day of exploring the island of Oahu. Pick up times vary by hotel and will be automatically assigned when you input your information into our online booking platform.
Diamond Head State Monument
The first lookout we visit is an elevated view perched on the eastern side of Waikiki’s famous Diamond Head Volcano, This lookout grants us a great opportunity for pictures of the south eastern coastline of Oahu, with notable sights as far as Hanauma bay and Maui on a clear day. The location is more formally known as Amelia Earhart Lookout, known for where bystanders gathered to watch Earhart make her first solo aviation journey from Hawaii to North America.

5.00Was an awesome day out, Rahul was a friendly and knowledgable guide. The shuttle bus was comfortable and clean. The weather was great, the stops were nice and the lunch was tasty as was the dole pineapple icecream which is a must. The swimming spot was good, water was cool and clear with some nice fish to see. This tour is great value for money.

5.00Raul is an excellent and hilarious guide. He’s full of tidbits on Hawaiian culture and the best go to spots across Oahu and made sure that we saw sea turtles during the trip. This tour allows you to see much of the island but there are only a few stops - lookouts, macadamia/coffee shop, dole plantation shop, and snorkeling. If you want more time for hiking or beach, you will need to do so via separate tour or rent a car.
Awesome tour

5.00Nevin was an amazing guide! He shared so much about Oahu from the flowers we passed on our drive to fun facts about turtles. If you’re looking for a way to tour the island and see some turtles along the way, I highly recommend booking!

5.00Mike was a great guide and John got us through all the traffic in record time. At the turtles a life guard “cousin Molly” looked after us, making sure we were in the best. safest area for swimming. The turtles, while there wasn’t a lot Mike was our spotter and we had one swim right up to one of our people. Had a great day.
Great time with turtles

5.00We had a great tour of the island of Oahu. We didn’t participate in the snorkeling but Justin found a location for us in the shade where we could watch the turtles. Justin was entertaining and took time to make sure each individual in the tour had personal attention to make sure they were having wonderful tour.
