• Waikiki Beach - Waikiki is a lively neighborhood famous for its surf beach, lined with high-rise hotels. Kalakaua Avenue and nearby streets feature designer fashion stores, while the area comes alive at night with waterfront cocktail bars, fine dining, and Kuhio Beach hula shows. The Honolulu Zoo houses Komodo dragons and roaming peacocks, and the Waikiki Aquarium’s reef exhibit is home to parrotfish and urchins.
• Diamond Head State Monument - This site features the Emelia Earhart monument and offers iconic views of Oahu. During whale season, from late November through March, there will be stops to observe the whales passing by.
• Halona Blowhole - A popular lookout point offering panoramic views of the ocean, cliffs, and nearby islands. Halona Beach Cove, a small sandy area on Oahu’s southeastern shore, gained fame from the 1953 film “From Here to Eternity,” featuring a love scene with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr. There will be a quick stop for photos to stay ahead of other companies and guests.
• Makapu’u Point - Located in the Makapuʻu region, Makapuʻu Point is the easternmost point on Oʻahu, 12 miles east of Honolulu. It’s a favored hiking spot with stunning views of Makapuʻu and Waimanalo Bay on one side and the Ka ʻIwi Channel on the other. Rabbit Island, an uninhabited islet, lies 0.75 miles off Kaupō Beach near Makapuʻu. In Hawaiian, mānana means “buoyant.”
• North Shore Macadamia Nut Company - Enjoy tasting macadamia nuts and Kona coffee.
• Waimanalo - Visit the Hawaii Treasure Shop for a wonderful selection of beautifully designed jewelry and unique souvenirs. Take a restroom break while exploring local Hawaiian handmade items. Possible extra stop for malasadas, time permitting, at the owner’s discretion.
• Nu’uanu Pali Lookout - Nuʻuanu Pali is a dramatic cliff and lookout on Oʻahu, Hawaii, offering sweeping views of the windward coast (Kaneohe, Kailua) and known for its strong, constant winds. It’s a historic site where King Kamehameha I won a decisive battle in 1795, forcing defenders off the cliff, and is rich in Hawaiian legends, including tales of spirits and the goddess Pele. The Pali Highway runs through tunnels at the cliff’s base, connecting Honolulu with the windward side.
• Mokoli’i Island - Mokoliʻi, also known as Chinaman’s Hat, is a basalt islet in Kāneʻohe Bay, Hawaii. Part of Kualoa Regional Park, it is located 1⁄3 mile offshore of Kualoa Point, Oahu. The 12.5-acre islet was once part of a basaltic ridge on Oahu before marine erosion separated it. There will be a brief stop for photos only.
• Kuilima Farm Stand - Stop to enjoy a delicious Filipino dessert, freshly fried banana lumpia “Turon,” at Virgil’s Farm Fruit Stand with Momma on the North Shore. Each treat costs $1.
• Waimea Waterfall - Enjoy 1 hour for swimming and 45 minutes for a walk through the world-famous Waimea Botanical Garden. Waimea Valley, a site of historic cultural significance on Oahu’s North Shore, includes historical structures like stone terraces and walls from the Hawaiian monarchy era. The picturesque waterfall in Waimea Valley cascades into a pool surrounded by lush greenery. Swimming is allowed, with life vests provided at no extra cost. Entrance to Waimea is $20 per adult. The 3/25 mile walk may not suit everyone; consider a golf cart ride for an additional $20 round trip per person. The path to the waterfall is natural and rocky, so bringing reef walking shoes or water shoes is optional. Pacific Islanders traditionally walked barefoot.
• Dole Plantation - Please note that this tour will not include time for the maze or train ride, as both take over 2 hours. In 1899, James Dole, at 22, moved to Honolulu from Massachusetts and purchased 64 acres in Oahu’s central plains. After experimenting with various crops, he chose pineapple, starting a pineapple empire. Dole established two canneries in Wahiawa and Honolulu Harbor, leading to nationwide popularity. The introduction of automatic pineapple peelers further boosted business. In 1950, a small fruit stand was set up in Dole’s fields, and in 1989, a plantation-style home was built and turned into an archive and living museum, honoring James Dole’s work and life. Please understand that there will be no time for the train ride or maze due to long lines, and this stop is only for 30 minutes.
• Liliha Bakery - Enjoy lunch at Liliha Bakery on Nimitz Road or in the Haliewa Sowntown area.
• King Kamehameha Statue - King Kamehameha I, a great warrior, diplomat, and leader, united the Hawaiian Islands into one royal kingdom in 1810 after years of conflict. His unification of Hawaii was significant not only as an incredible feat but also because, under separate rule, the islands might have been divided by competing Western interests. Today, four commissioned statues honor King Kamehameha I, Hawaii’s first king. The most recognized statue stands in front of Aliiolani Hale (home to the Hawaii State Supreme Court) across from Iolani Palace and a short walk from historic Kawaiahao Church and the State Capitol. Dedicated in 1883, this was the second statue created after the original was lost at sea near Cape Horn.
• Iolani Palace - Iolani Palace is a living restoration of Hawaii’s proud national identity and is recognized as the spiritual and physical multicultural epicenter of Hawaii. Built in 1882 by King Kalakua, Iolani Palace was the home of Hawaii’s last reigning monarchs and served as the official royal residence and the center of the Kingdom’s political and social life until the monarchy’s overthrow in 1893. It has been a National Historic Landmark since 1962 and is the only official royal residence in the United States.
