OAHU SIGHTSEEING TOURS
BEST SIGHTSEEING TOURS OF OAHU
Explore the diverse beauty of the island and see what the locals do every day. With Oʻahu as the epicenter of Hawaiʻi, the island has dramatically developed, and different areas have a distinct flavor.
When sightseeing around the island of Oahu, you can make it as compact or relaxed as you would like. If you’re pressed for time but still want to see the whole island, we got you covered—circle the entire island in one day in a private Jeep, Escalade, Mercedes, or van. Customize which locations you would like to visit and stay for as long as you desire. The itinerary is entirely up to you! Pearl Harbor, Waimea Valley, and Pali Lookout are just a few destinations to see. By the end of the day, you will have explored all the island’s beauty in comfort and style.
For those with more time, you can spend a whole day at each location. Discover thousands of years of traditions at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Its villages, luaus, and evening shows are sure to delight you. Or take a trip to the countryside, where the North Shore’s tantalizing beaches and the world’s largest maze at Dole Plantation await.
At whichever locations you see, aloha will be there to greet you!
