Oahu Circle Island & Pearl Harbor Tour From Maui, Kauai & Big Island
The incredible history is shared in the stories of the island and itʻs people, the Hawaiians. Our Circle Island Tour includes a stop at Pearl Harbor that is the most popular destination in Hawaii. Guests love being able to see some of the top attractions across the island all in one day.
Your day starts with a visit to Pearl Harbor. We take a Navy launch out to pay your respects at the USS Arizona Memorial. The visit brings out a lot of emotions for most visitors so we work to give you space to process it all. Once you come back to the visitor center, we will explore the museums and exhibits before heading out to see the rest of the island.
The 120-mile all-day tour takes us on a circle around the Koolau mountain range. We will stop at various places along the journey including overlooks, island-style attractions and friendly towns. There are a lot of great lookouts for pictures along the route including the Pali, Makapuu, Halona (blowhole), Diamond Head and others. Great beaches also await like Secret Beach (the Hawaii Five-O film site), Waimea and Sunset too.
