Custom Island Tours LLC offers immersive half-day adventures around Honolulu — from sailing and snorkeling with turtles to jungle hikes and city lights tours that redefine island discovery.
Honolulu, the beating heart of Hawaii, offers far more than just sandy beaches and urban buzz. Custom Island Tours LLC invites visitors to experience Oahu through tailored journeys that combine ocean, jungle, and city in ways that reveal the island’s diverse face. Whether you’re on a Private 5-Hour Island Tour with a 2-Hour Sail and Snorkel alongside sea turtles, trekking a jungle trail, or winding through the city's vibrant lights, each trip sparks connection with the environment and culture.
Oahu’s geology is a living chronicle of volcanic activity, defining its rugged coastline, lush valleys, and dense tropical forests. On these tours, you witness lava formations carved into cliffs near the water and explore rainforests filled with native plants like ‘ōhi‘a lehua trees. Snorkeling with green sea turtles off the coast highlights one of the island's most cherished inhabitants, offering underwater scenes of marine life against coral reefs. The Private Island Tours offer a mix of land and sea, blending scenic hikes with saltwater sails, tailored for visitors seeking immersive outdoor experiences without the hassle of planning.
The city lights tour paints a different scene—Honolulu’s skyline framed by Diamond Head and ocean horizons, illuminating the blend of modern life and Hawaiian tradition. Each adventure is led by guides with intimate local knowledge, providing insight into the island's history, from native Hawaiian culture to landmarks forged during the WWII era.
