★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,461 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $108

Full-day Oahu circle island tour with Diamond Head, Pali Lookout, North Shore turtle snorkeling, Dole Plantation, snacks, and hotel pickup.

“The tour was good, the tour guide, Kap was awesome! I wish the tour wasn’t focused and stated that there would be swimming with sea turtles. The beach was not a great place to “snorkel” as there were sea urchins everywhere and not one sea turtle in sight. Six people stepped on a sea urchin (there was a land mind of them). I would suggest that either a different beach is picked or taking that part out of the tour and adding something else in. Overall, the stops were good, there was lots to do but it was disappointing to be excited for the snorkeling and have it not happen.”

“Fortunately there were seats available on another bus to get us back to the ship in time for our next excursion which was booked before you changed the departure time of this excursion. That time change caused undue stress aggravated by our driver getting stuck in traffic on the way to pick us up. Which would not have been a problem if the tour had departed as originally scheduled.”

Ride Oahu’s Blue Line along dramatic coast roads, stop at Halona Blowhole, and hop off for plate lunch and Leonard’s malasadas.

“It was okay. The views are great. But the bus in noisy and bumpy added to a very windy day. It goes and returns the same way so if you want to get off on the way back that is good. The the scenic tour of the coast in a van is a much better option as you stop at more view points and the ride is more comfortable. You get what you pay for. I would not recommend it at less you want to get off at one if the stops.”
