Oahu Sightseeing

Circle Island Tours

Oahu sightseeing is a great way to explore this beautiful island.  To truly appreciate all this gem has to offer, you MUST get away from the high rise hotels of Waikiki. The island’s north shore offers scenic beaches with impressive winter swells and world-class surf. Kaneohe Bay’s miles of offshore reef and sand bars paint a unique oceanscape. The spires of the Pali cliffs on the windward side are reminiscent of Hawaiian postcards from days of old. Central Oahu features miles of pineapple fields and gives you the opportunity to enjoy a sample of this sweet, mouth-watering field-ripened fruit!

Movie Site Tours

Hollywood loves Kualoa Ranch! An impressive list of movies and TV shows have been filmed in this scenic area. The majestic cliffs and spires of the Kualoa Mountains, the lush greenery of the Ka’a’awa Valley, the ancient fishponds on the south side of the property, the quintessential view of Chinaman’s Hat (Mokolo’i Island) … all these features and more have attracted production companies and will continue to do so as long as the cameras continue to roll.

If you are cruising on the Pride of America and spending the night at a hotel in Waikiki prior to your cruise, you can do any of of the Circle Island Tours on the same day that you board your NCL cruise ship. If you are on a cruise that visits Honolulu just for the day, these tours may work for your itinerary if your ship docks early enough. Call us for details.

 

Kualoa Ranch events may be available for cruise ship passengers who are in port for the day in Honolulu. Please call us for details and transportation options.

 

Makani Kai Helicopters provides complimentary transportation from the cruise ship dock. We also recommend that you consider a helicopter tour of Kauai if your cruise ship includes Kauai in its ports of call. See the following link for more information on Kauai Helicopter Tours.
