★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,014 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $181

Circle Island in one long day from Waikiki, with Nu’uanu Pali views, Byodo-In Temple, Waimea Falls swim, and lunch included.

“Big Jon was a wonderful guide. He created a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. He gave very interesting information as we were traveling around the island and kept track of us at all the stops. The tour is a great overview of Oahu history and sites. Logistics could be a little smoother with dispatch, but it worked out fine. Also, it would be good for everyone to have time for a chance to take the train ride at the Dole Plantation.”

As an added bonus, our tour guide Lola gave some excellent information about the history of Hawaii while pointing out some sites both on the way to and back from Pearl Harbor. Definitely got my money's worth with this tour. Thanks, Lola!”
