Polynesian Adventure Tours - Oahu Grand Circle Island Tour
See it all on this Oahu grand circle island tour! Circumnavigate the island of Oahu, a distance of 120 miles, and see the island’s best attractions, including the world-famous big wave surfing beaches on the north shore, the Dole Pineapple Plantation and historic Haleiwa Town.
Your journey begins in Waikiki. After being picked up from your hotel, you’ll see the sights of southeast Oahu, including the lookouts along Diamond Head and Halona Blowhole.
The tour then takes you to the Byodo-In Temple, located in a peaceful valley and backed by the majestic Ko'olau Mountains (admission included). Enjoy the beautiful temple grounds, including traditional Japanese gardens and the koi pond.
You'll then travel up along the island's windward coast and enjoy scenic coastline views along the way. On Oahu’s North Shore, you’ll get to see the world-famous big wave surfing beaches of Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay, where championship surf competitions take place in the winter months.
This tour also stops at the Waimea Valley botanical garden, an area steeped in historic, cultural and spiritual significance. A paved path leads to the beautiful Waimea Falls, where weather permitting swimming is allowed. If you don't want to walk to the waterfall, there is the option to ride a tram (an additional fee applies and tram tickets are available at the garden).
