As the largest purveyor of tours and activities in Hawaii, we are often asked “what are the top things to do when visiting?” This is really a tough question to answer, as the top things to do really depend on what your interests are, and the things that you feel are the most important and valuable during your limited time in Hawaii.
The best way that we can answer the question is to offer advice on what visitors over the years have shared with us, and which are the things that helped to make their vacation the best that it could be.
We always suggest starting with a sightseeing tour. This allows you to see the island, visit many different locations, and get to know your destination. We recommend doing this early in your vacation, allowing you time later on to return to places that interest you the most. For example, if you are visiting Oahu, you may take a Circle Island Tour on the first or second full day you are on the island, and want to visit the North Shore later on in your trip and you’ll have plenty of time to do so later.
Each and every trip to the islands has to include a Luau, an authentic Hawaiian party that includes a buffet feats of local cuisine, and a thrilling evening show, complete with live music, dancing, and storytelling. Each island has great luaus available, and the entire family is sure to enjoy the party.
Perhaps the most important aspect of visiting the islands is understanding the history and culture of Hawaii. Throughout the islands, sites like Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center bring the long and diverse history of the islands front and center. And there may not be a better place to get to know the history of Hawaii than at the Bishop Museum and Iolani Palace, located on Oahu and hosting many authentic relics and artifacts that date all the way back to ancient Hawaii.
Of course, there are so many tours and activities that you will want to take part in, and the ocean is always calling. We offer a ton of fun ocean activities like Snorkeling, Surfing, and Sunset Dinner Cruises, any of which would be a great addition to any vacation.
Of course, any trip deserves to have some down time, so be sure to schedule some time to sit on the beach and soak up the sun while you’re here. There are so many incredible beaches on every island, and you may even find a hidden beach during a sightseeing tour. Just be sure to schedule some time to unwind and enjoy Hawaii.
Due to the high volume of visitors traveling to Hawaii year round, our Oahu tours and Oahu activities sell out quickly. In many cases, tours sell out weeks or months in advance, especially our top seller Sea Life Park Luau. To ensure your spots on tour, we recommend reserving your tours today.
