Explore more of Oahu on the Grand Circle Island Tour

Enjoy an entertaining and action-packed day on our Grand Circle Island Tour of Oahu departing from Ko’olina.  Guests will learn about Hawaii’s rich history from an experienced local guide while touring some of Oahu’s top attractions including Dole Pineapple Plantation,  Waimea Valley, Pali Lookout, and Oahu’s famous North Shore beaches.

The Oahu Grand Circle Island Tour is a full-day excursion and begins with a complimentary hotel pick up in a comfortable and stylish Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.  Sightseeing attractions include stops at North Shore and Waimea Valley, which is not only famous for being featured in several Hollywood films, but it’s also one of Oahu’s most scenic tropical valleys and waterfalls.

You’ll also visit the jagged peaks of the Ko’olau Mountains at lookout points, enjoy the secluded white sand beaches and turquoise waters before being dropped back off at your hotel or resort.

This tour is popular because it packs in all of Oahu’s top attractions in an enjoyable and relaxed full-day experience, but with return times early enough to catch a Luau, Dinner Cruise, or night out on the town.  The Grand Circle Island Tour is a great way to spend your first couple of days on Oahu.
