• Waikiki Beach - Waikiki is a lively neighborhood where high-rise hotels line the shore, famous for its popular surf beach. Kalakaua Avenue and nearby streets are home to designer fashion stores, and the area comes alive at night with waterside cocktail bars, fine dining, and Kuhio Beach hula shows. The Honolulu Zoo features Komodo dragons and wandering peacocks, while the Waikiki Aquarium’s reef exhibit houses parrotfish and urchins.

• Diamond Head State Monument - This site features the Emelia Earhart monument and offers iconic views of Oahu. During whale season, from the end of November through March, there will be stops to view the passing whales.

• Halona Blowhole - A popular lookout point offering panoramic views of the ocean, cliffs, and neighboring islands. Halona Beach Cove, a small sandy pocket 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. Nearby, Rabbit Island is an uninhabited islet 0.75 miles off Kaupō Beach. In Hawaiian, mānana means “buoyant.”

• New Hawaii’s Treasures - Visit the Hawaii Treasure Shop for an amazing selection of beautifully designed jewelry and unique souvenirs. Enjoy a restroom break while exploring local Hawaiian handmade items.

• Leonard’s Malasada Mobile - If time permits, there will be a quick stop for the group to purchase hot malasadas from Leonard’s Bakery. This early morning stop is only possible if the owner allows enough time. This stop is not guaranteed!

• Byodo-In Temple - Situated at the foot of the Ko’olau Mountains in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, the Byodo-In Temple was established on June 7, 1968, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. The temple is a smaller-scale replica of the over 950-year-old Byodo-in Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Uji, Japan. It is a non-practicing Buddhist temple welcoming people of all faiths to worship, meditate, or simply appreciate its beauty.

• Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet) - Located on Oahu’s east coast, 20 miles north of Honolulu, Tropical Farms Macadamia Nuts is nestled in the shadow of the Koolau Range and is a stop on many circle-island tours. It’s a great place to enjoy a Hawaiian treat and shop for gifts and souvenirs. Restrooms are available.

• Waimea Botanical Gardens, Oahu - Explore the world-famous Waimea Botanical Garden before reaching the Waimea Waterfall. Waimea Valley, on Oahu’s North Shore, is an area of historic cultural significance, featuring historical structures like stone terraces and walls from the Hawaiian monarchy era. Enjoy the picturesque waterfall in Waimea Valley, which cascades into a pool surrounded by lush foliage. Swimming is allowed, with life vests provided at no extra cost and required for swimming. Entrance to Waimea is discounted at $20 per adult with no waiting in lines. The 3/25 of a mile walk may not be suitable for everyone. Consider taking the golf cart ride, which costs an additional $20 round trip per person. The walk to the waterfall is natural and rocky, so bringing reef walking shoes or water shoes is recommended.

• Dole Plantation - Please note that this tour will not have time to enter the maze or ride the train, as both activities take over 2 hours. In 1899, James Dole, at just 22 years old, moved to Honolulu from Massachusetts and purchased 64 acres of land in Oahu’s central plains. After experimenting with various crops, he settled on pineapple, marking the start of his pineapple empire. Dole established two canneries in Wahiawa and Honolulu Harbor, leading to nationwide consumer 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 not be time to ride the train or enter the maze due to long lines, and this stop will last only 30 to 45 minutes.

• Liliha Bakery - Enjoy a sit-down lunch at Liliha Bakery on Nimitz Road, featuring famous dishes like Miso Butterfish, Loco Moco, Grilled Garlic Shrimp, Oxtail Soup, BLT, Teriyaki Chicken, Beef or Pork, Chicken Salad, Hamburgers, and Clam Chowder Soup.

• 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 Kalakaua, 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.

• King Kamehameha Statue - The most recognized Kamehameha 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 ship delivering the original statue from Europe was lost at sea near Cape Horn.
