Description

Small-group tours only, just 12 guests per guide. We’ve combined decades of experience as both travel experts and Oahu natives to curate a one-of-a-kind Oahu experience. Highlighting the island’s most exciting attractions, the Pearl Harbor & Oahu Circle Tour lets you see the best of Oahu in a single day. The day begins with pick-up at a Waikiki hotel or condo. From there, ride in our comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van to Oahu’s most popular destination, Pearl Harbor. Here you’ll visit the historic site of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which launched the United States into World War II. Equal parts solemn and inspiring, the visit offers a unique look at one of the darkest moments in American history. Our knowledgeable guides will then drive you around the entire island of Oahu, making sure that you see all of its top tourist attractions. The tour spotlights locations like the Dole Plantation, North Shore, and Nu’uanu Pali. It’s an entertaining and educational adventure.

Amazing experience

This was an amazing tour. Our guide/bus driver, Robert, was truly phenomenal. There were some not so nice guests on our tour who were rude to Robert, but he handled the situation with grace and professionalism. He shared tons of info about the places we were visiting, and he even gave us options to go to additional places that weren’t on the original itinerary. Very glad we booked this tour and were paired with Robert as our guide.

We had such a good day with our Hawaiian guide,“Handsome.”

We saw so much of the island and learned so much of the history of Hawaii and its people, Pearl Harbor, different areas of the island. We were entertained also with Hawaiian music as we drove and enjoyed Handsome’s beautiful voice singing along. It was a day well spent and we wish Handsome all the best in the future. Humuhumu, I think how to say his Hawaiian name. He was very knowledgeable about the culture and history of Oahu. We highly recommend him.

Well worth the money- see it all in one fell swoop!

What a great experience! RJ was our driver and tour guide. He did an amazing job telling stories and the history of the beautiful state of Hawaii, in particular Oahu. Starting at Pearl Harbor, we had an exclusive behind the scenes history lesson that was very comprehensive. This tour took us completely around the island, and since he lives here, he knew a lot of things that we would've never known had we not taken this tour. I highly recommend experiencing this for yourself and your family.
