Highlights
  • Go Tours Hawaii - Oahu Tours - Oahu is known for being a sightseeing paradise, full of spectacular lookout points, incredible white sandy beaches, colorful culture, outstanding surf and unique wildlife. Our local guide will spend the day with you on our semi-private shuttle escorting you and your family to some of Oahu’s Hidden Gems on our Oahu circle island tour.
  • Waikiki - Itinerary:
    Waikiki Pickup (7:15 a.m.)

Our semi private shuttle will arrive at 7am for pick up in Waikiki, with a local guide to help you prepare for a day of exploring the island of Oahu. Pick up times vary by hotel and will be automatically assigned when you input your information into our online booking platform.

  • Diamond Head State Monument - The first lookout we visit is an elevated view perched on the eastern side of Waikiki’s famous Diamond Head Volcano. This lookout grants us a great opportunity for pictures of the south eastern coastline of Oahu, with notable sights as far as Hanauma bay and Maui on a clear day. The location is more formally known as Amelia Earhart Lookout, known for where bystanders gathered to watch Earhart make her first solo aviation journey from Hawaii to North America.

  • Halona Blowhole - Halona Blowhole

Molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions that occurred from Oahu’s Koko Head crater formed the natural occurrence known as the Halona Blowhole. This lava tube extends into the ocean with a very narrow opening at the top, and when the surf is just right, water pressure builds up within the lava tube and erupts through the narrow opening creating a special Hawaiian Geyser for your viewing pleasure.

  • Makapu’u Point - Makapu’u Point

Witness Waimanalo’s dramatic sea cliffs as we turn into Oahu’s windward side as we begin our journey to the North Shore of Oahu. Look off into the azure blue waters of the bay and you will see Oahu’s famous Manana Island also known as Rabbit island due to its Rabbit like shape.

  • Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet) - Hawaiian Coffee and Macadamia Nut Tastings

After a beautiful drive along Oahu’s eastern coastline, our next stop is a local shop that finds itself tucked away under aged Banyan Trees with macadamia nut and delicious Kona coffee tastings, along with very tempting Hawaiian chocolates amongst other treats.

  • Nu’uanu Pali - Nestled along the majestic cliffs of the Ko’olau Mountains on Oahu, the Pali Lookout presents travelers with awe-inspiring vistas of the island’s windward coast. Steeped in historical significance, this site marks the battleground where King Kamehameha I triumphed in his quest to unify the Hawaiian Islands. Embraced by sweeping winds and lush landscapes, the lookout offers a captivating blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage, making it an essential stop for any visitor to Oahu.

  • Sunset Beach - A change of pace from the crowded beaches of Waikiki, The infamous Sunset Beach on the North Shore offers tranquility and is the epitome of a beautiful Hawaiian Beach. However don’t lets the summer months fool you, during the winter months, swells of 30 to 40 feet can be seen from the safe confines of shore.

  • Kahuku Farms - We stop at a North Shore Fruit stand where you can gorge on local fruits such as mangos, dragonfruit, pineapple or quench your thirst on a fresh coconut.

  • Waimea Botanical Gardens, Oahu - The exceptional botanical collections at Waimea Valley feature dozens of distinct gardens representing flora from different parts of the world. Examples include the Ogasawara Islands, Central and South America, Fiji, Guam, and the Mascarene Islands. Stroll through the Hawaiian collection and enjoy an assortment of plants found only in Hawai’i, many of which are rare and endangered. Many were brought here as seed or cutting from the places where they evolved. Waimea Waterfall is also a splendid highlight of the park. Guests can swim in the waterfall if they want.

Beautiful tour of Oahu island. (ASK FOR EDDIE AS YOUR GUIDE) - Me and my wife were looking for one last thing to do before our last day of our honeymoon and we picked this at the last second. I can safely say it was the best decision we made outside of getting married!! We had the best tour guide named Eddie. He was very informative but in an extremely fun and exciting way. He seemed to know more than just facts but had stories with every place and thing we saw. He grew up on the East side of the island and has so many amazing stories about growing up. He gives you a really good perspective of the island and gives you little slices of life in each part. Also, a bonus, Go Hawaii is the only island tour that is locally owned. So if you decide to book please choose Go Hawaii and ask for Eddie. You won’t regret it.

Worth it! - Noah and his ark Driven by Eric was worth every dollar and every minute. We are a family of 4 with a 7 and 13 year old. The history he shared with us as well as the stories were the perfect narration for the beautiful natural wonders we experience here on Oahu. Along with lots of helpful tips for the rest of our trip. We are skeptics who are mindful with our money so for us to write a review and recommend this opportunity to you and yours means something. Thank you Go tours and Thank you to Eric and Noah! It was a meaningful and unforgettable experience!

Fun tour with an amazing guide - Noah was an amazing tour guide. He has first hand knowledge of the island and shared many great stories. We had a blast listening to the history and legends of the islands. Noah made sure we knew where we were stopping and how long we would be there. He arranged the tour so that we stayed out of the main rush of all the other tour buses which was greatly appreciated. He also made sure our wait for lunch was minimal despite the place being very busy. I would do this tour again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great way to see the island.

Wonderful from start to finish! A must do! - Excellent tour from start to finish. Eddie was our tour guide and he was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We stopped at fantastic places and really felt we got to see the hidden gems of Oahu. There were about 10 stops and we had plenty time at each. Also plenty opportunities for sampling local food, drinks, and restroom breaks. Great value for money! And thanks to Eric the wonderful bus driver.

Great overview of island - Our guide Eddie was very knowledgeable and passionate about his culture and history. Our driver John was very experienced and safe. Lots of driving, about 110 miles, but broken up with about 10 stops. We enjoyed fresh shrimps for lunch, pineapple whip icecream, the Valley of the Temples was very tranquil and we did see several turtles in the surf line at one beach stop. A great way to see a range of island highlights with a very knowledgeable guide ...then select a couple for a future private visit. Thanks Go Tour's Hawaii.

Great trip and intro to Maui - The guide, Colin’s, was fantastic and had a deep knowledge of history that he talked about in between stops. The stops were great too and we especially loved swimming in the waterfall pool. The only downside was the other people on the tours bus who were talking pretty loudly on the bus which was distracting when trying to hear guide. Several were late getting back to the bus at the end of stops which caused delays. Overall, I would highly recommend the tour and would suggest to guides that they try to keep the loud talking to a minimum on the bus.
