About
Many tour companies claim to offer Circle Island Tours but don’t dedicate the time truly needed to discover and experience all of Oahu. We want to immerse you in the radically unique areas of the island and get exposure to the local underpinnings that make Oahu special. To truly get to know Oahu takes time and a deep respect for the culture. This tour will encompass every area of the island from the Waianae Coast, East Honolulu, Windward and North Shores. By the time it is finished, you will have seen all the islands’ vastly different geographic regions and have learned about Ancient Hawaiian culture and tradition. Starts at 8 am each day
