Hidden gems of Oahu tour highlights

Diamond Head Lookout

Perched on the eastern side of Waikiki's famous Diamond Head Volcano, enjoy impressive views of the southeastern coastline of Oahu, with notable sights as far as Hanauma Bay and Maui being visible on a clear day. Also known as the Amelia Earhart Lookout, this was the spot where bystanders gathered to watch Earhart make her first solo aviation journey from Hawaii to North America.

Halona Blowhole

Molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions formed this famous landmark. When the surf is just right, water pressure builds up within the lava tube and erupts through the narrow opening creating a special Hawaiian geyser – all for your viewing pleasure.

Makapu’u Point

Dramatic sea cliff views and topaz waters make this a top selfie spot. You'll also be able to spot Manana Island (also known as Rabbit Island due to its shape).

Byodo-In Temple (admission included)

Visit this impressive replica of the original Byodo-In Temple in Japan. The lush landscaped grounds here are filled with koi carp ponds, and colorful peacocks strut their stuff in the Japanese garden. Head inside to take a peek at the huge Lotus Buddha statue.

Hawaiian coffee and macadamia nut tastings

Beneath aged banyan trees a local shop offers up macadamia nuts and delicious kona coffee, along with chocolates and other treats.

Mokolii and Kualoa Valley mountain range

With such a beautifully dramatic setting, it's no surprise this is a top spot for Hollywood film sets. Gaze out over the impressive views and before long you'll be humming the Jurassic Park soundtrack. 

Lunch at a traditional Hawaiian restaurant

Pause for lunch at a traditional restaurant where North Shore garlic shrimps and other local delicacies await. Please bring cash for lunch.

Tropical fruit stands

After lunch, you'll make a stop at a North Shore tropical fruit stand where you can purchase ice-cold coconuts to drink from, fresh mangos, and other tropical treats.

North Shore Sunset Beach

A change of pace from the crowded beaches of Waikiki, Sunset Beach on the North Shore offers tranquility and is the epitome of a beautiful Hawaiian Beach.

Green sea turtle-spotting on the North Shore

The stars of the show have got to be Hawaii's beloved green sea turtles. You'll get to spend time enjoying a beach where they'll (hopefully) visit.

Dole pineapple plantation

Treat yourself to a Dole Whip (delicious pineapple ice cream) and pick up some pineapple-themed souvenirs at this historic plantation.

Go City is a better way to sightsee. Your pass includes tickets to Oahu Circle Island Tour with Byodo In Templer, plus admission to dozens of top Oahu attractions for one money-saving price.
