Description

Leave the crowds behind and explore the best of Oʻahu on this full-day island adventure. From waterfalls and beaches to sacred temples and local flavors, this small-group tour (max 12 guests) gives you an unforgettable look at the real Hawaiʻi—all in one seamless experience with round-trip Waikiki transportation included.

Start your day with a warm island welcome and a visit to a local coffee farm, where you can sip freshly brewed Hawaiian coffee while taking in the early morning views. Then cruise up to the famous North Shore, where you’ll pass legendary surf spots like Pipeline and Sunset Beach. In the winter months, you might catch waves towering over 30 feet—and if you’re lucky, a few green sea turtles lounging in the sand.

Your expert local guide brings the island to life with stories, history, and legends as you explore hidden gems and iconic landmarks alike. You'll stop at scenic lookouts like Chinaman’s Hat and the Pali Lookout, where the raw beauty of the Windward Coast will take your breath away.

When hunger calls, you’ll enjoy exploring the famous Kahuku food trucks, known for garlic shrimp, tropical fruit smoothies, and other local favorites. We also treat you to a sweet malasada from the famous Leonard’s Bakery—a must-have island treat.

The highlight of your journey is a visit to Waimea Valley, where you’ll stroll through a lush botanical garden filled with native and Polynesian plants before reaching the majestic Waimea Falls. Take a dip in the cool, fresh waterfall pool (life jackets included) or simply relax and enjoy the serene beauty of the valley.

The afternoon brings peace and reflection at the Byodo-In Temple, a hidden sanctuary nestled beneath the towering Koʻolau mountains. Ring the sacred bell, feed the koi, and breathe in the stillness before continuing to your final coastal stops.

As the tour winds back toward Waikiki, you’ll visit dramatic lookouts like the Makapuʻu Lookout, and Halona Blowhole—each with sweeping views of cliffs, ocean, and volcanic coastline. Throughout the day, your guide shares thoughtful insights and cultural context to make every stop more meaningful.

This tour is perfect for first-time visitors and seasoned travelers alike. Whether you're exploring with a partner, your family, or on your own, you'll leave with a deeper connection to the island—and a camera full of memories.
