Waikiki Grand Circle Island Tour Adventure

It startʻs with a morning pickup at your hotel or resort in Waikiki and off to all the stops we list but your guide will have more options in store for you.
Throughout the day, your local expert guide has stories, facts, restaurant information, tips and stops that will make your trip to Hawaii even better. Schedule your Grand Circle Island Tour of Oahu early in your trip so you can use all that info!

Our guides will learn about their guests and work to provide customized stops, throughout the day, possibly including extras like a malasada stop, changing lunch locations so you can enjoy some shrimp, making time to see some turtles, seeing an ancient heiau, or maybe even taking a quick dip in the ocean.

We encourage our guests to bring their reusable bottles and we make sure you are topped off with great clean water throughout the day.
