Circle Island Tour Reveals Oahu at its Most Spectacular!

By embarking on our Ultimate Pearl Harbor Circle Island Tour, you’ll spend the day with an E Noa guide. This person’s knowledge and love of Oahu will leave you wishing you had time for more adventures! We include all admission fees in our tour. And we’ll make sure you get lunch!

Day Begins with USS Arizona Memorial Visit

We’ll start at sunrise by heading out to relive a striking historical event at the World War II Valor in the Pacific Monument and USS Arizona Memorial. In this quietly moving place, you’ll experience the tragedy and heroism associated with the surprise attack by Imperial Japan that propelled America into World War II.

On to North Shore for Dole Plantation, Famous Surfing Beaches

Lunch stop at Pounders Restaurant; meal included. Guests will choose a meal and drink from a special farm-to-table lunch menu.

After passing through the center of Oahu and alongside Wheeler Airfield, one of the first targets of the Japanese aerial attack, we’ll head toward the North Shore. The famous Dole Plantation provides a refreshing stop. Feed koi in the fishpond and enjoy a sweet frozen pineapple DoleWhip®.

Catch the laid-back local rhythm of the North Shore as you pass through the small towns with just the right mix of surfing culture and country island-style. Sunset Beach. Banzai Pipeline. Waimea Bay. The shoreline’s famous names come to life as your guide shares fascinating local facts and tales.

Time to stretch your legs and discover where old Laie came to life! The Hukilau Marketplace is a vintage throwback to Hawaii of the 1950s where nostalgic foods, handmade goods and friendly locals give you a taste of the North Shore’s “good old days.” You’ll experience a complimentary lunch and get a taste of island delights.

View Oahu from Stunning Pali Lookout

Turning towards the majestic power of the island’s lush and rugged mountain range, you rise up to the final battlefield where King Kamehameha fought to unify the Hawaiian Islands. Standing high on the windswept Nuʻuanu Pali cliffs, you can feel its wild and tragic history, an ancient parallel to the morning’s Pearl Harbor stories of bravery in the face of conflict.

Bodysurfing Beaches, Halona Blowhole, Hanauma Bay Lie Ahead

Waimanalo. Sherwood Forest. Makapu’u. Sandy Beach. These are the bodysurfing playgrounds that draw locals from all around the island. Beware: taking on these dangerous waves isn’t as easy as it looks!

Seabirds soar above the island’s windswept coastline where ancient lava fields descend into the sea. Halona Blowhole, a natural underground lava tube, funnels plumes of ocean water into the sky in rhythm with the sea. Hanauma Bay hovers on the eastern tip of the island. This living coral reef provides a safe haven for fish and marine animals.

By early afternoon we’ll turn back towards Honolulu as we cruise around the slopes of Diamond Head, Hawaii’s most famous landmark.

Don’t forget your camera for photo opportunities galore. The young and young-at-heart will be entertained by island folklore and history shared by your E Noa tour guide throughout the day. It’s the complete island experience for the whole family.
