Oahu Grand Circle Island






If your on Oahu for a short amount of time, or a long amount of time and you wanna get the lay of the land, I highley reccomend this day tour...it rocked.

120 Miles Of Oahu's Most Famous Sights

This tour is ideal for first-time visitors, but regulars love it, too. On your journey you will see “the best of the best” of Oahu. From the lush, green mountains to the clear blue waters, across the pineapple fields, and beyond. There’s no better way to experience the diversity of this beautiful island. The sights are accompanied by live narration from our friendly tour guides, so you’ll get interesting cultural and historical information along the way. (And don’t be surprised if you find yourself laughing and singing songs. This tour is anything but boring.)

You’ll go to the 1,186-foot Pali Lookout, where King Kamehameha the Great fought his last battle, for a view that will blow you away. Or it may feel like it anyway, with robust winds that often sweep through the mountain pass, so hold on to your hat. World-famous North Shore surfing beaches are also on the tour, along with breathtaking Waimea Bay where giant waves break right on the shore, leaving behind their salty mist.

You’ll also catch sight of Aloha Tower, which you may recall from the TV show “Hawaii Five-O,” and the familiar profile of the 750-foot Diamond Head volcano that has become a symbol for Hawaii throughout the years. This Oahu tour is grand indeed, and will not disappoint.

Helemano Plantation



A cool stop on the "Grand Circle Island Tour" was the Helemano Plantation, founded by Mrs. Susanna F. Cheung, provides a "real world" work environment for the developmentally disabled. Helemano Plantation offers training and employment opportunities in its work centers. You will be able to visit the Country Inn Restaurant, Gateway to Asia, Gift Shop, Bake Shop, Farm, and Garden.

They offer a great buffet lunch and great hospitality. I highley reccomend.
