Your tour around this island begins in Honolulu, near Pearl Harbor. You’ll hear about the “day that will live in infamy” as well as the unexpected history of Honolulu.
This package also includes a free bonus tour of Oahu!
Next is Aloha Tower, one of the city’s most iconic attractions. Continuing on, you’ll see Iolani Palace, the extravagant former home of Hawaii’s monarchs, as well as a statue of King Kamehameha the Great.
The first beach on the tour is Ala Moana Beach, a pristine stretch of sand that was actually once used to dump garbage! But don’t worry, it’s almost impossibly clean these days. Waikiki Beach follows it. This is where surfing superstar Duke Kanahamoku got his start before he transformed the world of surfing forever.
Leaving the beaches behind for a moment, you’ll see Diamond Head State Park, an enormous volcanic crater, and Hawaii’s most popular park. You’ve really got to see this one up close to truly appreciate it!
Continuing on toward the volcanic China Walls, you’ll hear the dramatic tale of Kamehameha’s rise to power, and his rival, Kalanikūpule, who was even willing to kill his own family to take control for himself.
At the Hanauma Bay Lookout, next, you’ll find some of the most spectacular views on O’ahu. Be sure to have your camera at the ready! For a less crowded spot, follow the route to the next lookout, which most visitors miss.
