Oahu Grand Circle Island and Haleiwa Tour: 9-Hr Deluxe Experience - Diamond Head and the Honolulu coast from the bus

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17,387 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $140Our pick

Circle Oahu in nine hours with Diamond Head, Byodo-In Temple, Haleiwa, North Shore beaches, Dole Plantation, and hotel pickup.

“The bus arrived at the exact moment it was scheduled to arrive. Our guide and driver Tony did an amazing job! Not only did he point out stops along the way but his breath of knowledge of place and history was immense. The only criticism is that the Dole plantation was a disappointment. Not the fault of the tour but it was just a giant store.”

6.Oahu’s Ultimate Tour: Dole, Turtle Snorkel, Pali Lookout & More

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,461 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $108

Review of Oahu’s full-day circle island tour, with Dole Plantation, turtle snorkeling, Pali Lookout, beaches, snacks, and practical booking advice.

“We were able to see a little bit of everything and enjoyed our tour guide, but unfortunately had a terrible experience snorkeling. The beach that was selected was incredibly rocky and littered with urchins that made it incredibly difficult to access the snorkeling point. The water was murky and difficult to see through, so we were not able to see much sea life and we left the experience cut up/ bleeding from the rocks, frustrated and disappointed. None of this was the fault of our guide, but if you are selecting this tour with the hope that the snorkeling will be the highlight of the trip, you may be best…”

“We liked our driver, he was funny and informative UNTIL we decided to visit China Town. When I asked him what there was to see there, he had to pause and think. He should have told us he didn't recommend that we get off in such a horrible, dirty neighborhood. It was full of homeless, filth and smelled like urine and has mostly derelict buildings. We called an Uber to get out of there because we couldn't find a sign where we could get picked up in front of the capital building.”
