Itinerary

Diamond Head State Monument(15minutes)
Our initial stop takes us to an elevated viewpoint nestled on the eastern slopes of the renowned Diamond Head Volcano in Waikiki. This vantage point provides an excellent opportunity to capture stunning photographs of Oahu's southeastern coastline, offering panoramic views that extend to notable landmarks such as Hanauma Bay and, on clear days, even as far as Maui. Familiarly referred to as the Aviator's Vista, this location carries historical significance as the site where spectators gathered to witness Amelia Earhart embark on her pioneering first solo aviation journey from Hawaii to North America.
Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve(Pass by)
Hanauma Bay is a stunning and iconic natural bay located on the southeast coast of the island of Oahu. It is a well-known tourist destination and a popular spot for snorkeling and swimming. The bay is formed within a volcanic crater, which has since been eroded by ocean water, creating a beautiful and sheltered crescent-shaped beach. *We do not stop at Hanauma Bay
Halona Blowhole(20minutes)
Marvel at the natural wonder created by molten lava tubes from Oahu's Koko Head crater at the Halona Blowhole. This unique formation, resulting from volcanic eruptions, sends water shooting through a narrow opening in the lava tube, creating a captivating Hawaiian geyser when the surf is just right.
Makapu'U Point(Pass by)
Embarking on the path to Oahu's windward side, prepare to be captivated by the breathtaking drama of Waimanalo's sea cliffs at Makapu'u Point. Let the deep sapphire waters unfold before your eyes, and as you gaze upon the seascape, behold the allure of Oahu's Manana Island, famously named Rabbit Island for its enchanting contours resembling a whimsical rabbit against the backdrop of the ocean's indigo expanse.
Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)(25minutes)
After a picturesque drive along Oahu’s eastern coastline, delight in a one-of-a-kind tasting experience at a distinctive macadamia nut shop nestled beneath towering Banyan Trees. Immerse yourself in the distinct flavors of exquisite Kona coffee, relish the richness of macadamia nuts, and succumb to the allure of Hawaiian chocolates, all within the tropical charm of this unique find.
Mokoli'i Island(25minutes)
Immerse yourself in the scenic wonders of Chinaman's Hat, or Mokoli'i, harmoniously framed by the majestic Kualoa Valley Mountain range. Renowned for its cinematic splendor showcased in iconic films like Jurassic Park, this island earned its moniker from the straw hats worn by Chinese immigrants toiling in Oahu's sugar plantations during the early 1900s. As you absorb the panoramic beauty, envision the historical tapestry woven into this landscape and appreciate the island's unique blend of natural allure and cultural history.
(40minutes)
Take a break for lunch at a local restaurant, offering the renowned North Shore Garlic Shrimp plate and other local delicacies. Non-shellfish and vegetarian options are available, and don't forget to bring cash for lunch.
Kahuku Farms(25minutes)
Visit a North Shore tropical fruit stand, where you can savor ice-cold coconuts, fresh mangos, and other tropical treats. This delightful stop offers a refreshing array of locally sourced fruits to enhance your journey through the vibrant flavors of Hawaii.
Banzai Pipeline(Pass by)
Escape the crowds and experience the serenity of Sunset Beach on the North Shore. This picturesque Hawaiian beach offers tranquility, though during winter months, witnesses impressive swells ranging from 30 to 40 feet from the safety of the shore. *Stop dependent on road conditions & driver discretion due to high surf Oct - Jan.
Waimea Botanical Gardens, Oahu(90minutes*Admission Ticket Included)
Immerse yourself in the extraordinary botanical collections at Waimea Valley. Explore diverse gardens featuring flora from various parts of the world, including the Ogasawara Islands, Central and South America, Fiji, Guam, and the Mascarene Islands. Wander through the Hawaiian collection, showcasing rare and endangered plants brought to Hawaii from their places of origin. Don't miss the captivating waterfall in the garden, where swimming is allowed, and lifeguards are present. Life jackets are required. *Admission is included ***WAIMEA VALLEY IS CLOSED MONDAYS SEP - MAY ***
Dole Plantation(30minutes)
This stop is designed for us to briefly stop for souvenirs and an authentic Dole Whip ( Dole pineapple soft serve ice cream)! You can't get this treat unless you also visit Disney Land or Disney World (don't be fooled by the imitation products throughout Waikiki). *No Train ride or Maze activities, Dole Whip not included*
Nu'uanu Pali(15minutes*Admission Ticket Included)
Perched atop the rugged cliffs of the Ko'olau Range on Oahu, the Pali Lookout offers visitors breathtaking panoramic views of the island's windward side. Known for its historical significance in the Battle of Nu'uanu, where King Kamehameha I secured his victory in uniting the Hawaiian Islands, the lookout provides a glimpse into both natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. With strong winds often sweeping through the area, it's a must-visit destination for those seeking awe-inspiring vistas and a sense of Hawaiian history.
