Tour Description



SLIDESHOW / Photos
Our exploration of Oahu starts with visiting the world famous Hanauma Bay, and the Kahauloa tuff cone volcano along the island's stunning southeast volcanic coastline. Our next stop is Halona Cove, where green sea turtles and humpback whales swim in the crystal clear waters off "From Here to Eternity Beach" and the Blowhole shoots columns of saltwater into the sky.

While stopping at Makapu'u Lookout you'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of offshore islands and the 25,000 year old Kaupo lava flow.

Your professional nature guide will show you rare species of colorful seabirds including: Red-footed Boobies, Great Frigate birds and Red-tailed Tropicbirds. Just past "Robin's Nest", where Magnum P.I. was filmed, we marvel at Oahu's longest sandy beach and enjoy the aquamarine waters of Waimanalo Bay where tropical fish and coral abounds.

We then travel to an ancient Hawaiian temple, Ulupou Heiau, to see one of Oahu's best preserved archaeological sites.

After that you head to the world-famous Pali Lookout, described by Mark Twain as one of the most beautiful views on earth, where you will see the turquoise waters of Kaneohe Bay and the jagged 2,000 foot vertical cliffs of the majestic Koolau Volcano.
