Which attractions will I visit with the Majestic Circle Island Eco Tour from Waikiki?

During this experience, places you will visit include:

  • Byodo-In Temple
  • Waimea Valley
  • Dole Plantation
  • Nu’uanu Pali
  • Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)

Will I see a waterfall?

The flow of the waterfall depends on rainfall. So the size or if there a waterfall at all depends on if it rained recently and/or how much it has rained recently. There is no guarantee the waterfall will be visible at Waimea Valley (especially during summer)

Is there a lot of walking on this tour?

This circle island tour as more walking than most circle island tours due to the visit to both the Byodin-Temple and Waimea Valley.

The trail to Waimea Falls is about 3/4 of a mile and takes approximately 30 minutes. It is paved the entire way, with gentle hills. There are several gravel paths off the main corridor, for more adventurous walkers to explore all our botanical garden collections. According to Waimea Valley Website

Overall rating

It was a good tour and great driver. I wish we would have stopped at more of the scenic spots and skipped some of the roadside gift shops. One was enough. I would skip the Dole Plantation altogether.

Totally enjoyed our tour with Squid. He was so informative, giving us great information about each place we visited (as well as places we passed along the way). Loved the high energy music he played on the bus, which ene ... rgized the group. Loved the shrimp lunch, which was included. Kudos to Squid. I highly recommend this tour to others. You will not be disappointed.

Our tour guide is Deno. He is very knowledgeable and funny. He takes well care of us. We are happy to book any other tour with him.

IMG_2835_edited.jpg

BYODO-IN TEMPLE

The tour proceeds to the Byodo-In Temple, an exquisite structure situated in the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park on Oahu. This temple is an impressive replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple located in Uji, Japan, serving as a profound symbol of peace and harmony. Surrounding the temple are meticulously landscaped gardens, koi ponds, feeding areas, and a spacious meditation hall, all reflecting traditional Japanese aesthetics.

A major highlight of the temple is the sizable golden Buddha statue, towering at nearly 9 feet. Guests have the opportunity to participate in the traditional ringing of the peace bell, a three-ton masterpiece considered one of the world's largest working temple bells. The visit allows guests to delve into the temple's history and its role in promoting global peace. For those fascinated by Japanese culture, Buddhism, and the pursuit of inner peace, Byodo-In stands as a must-visit destination.

TROPICAL FARMS

Following the exploration of Oahu's scenic countryside, the tour guides you to Tropical Farms, a well-known macadamia nut farm. Upon arrival, take a leisurely break amidst the charming orchards, savoring a variety of tropical-infused macadamia nuts. The farm is renowned for producing the freshest macadamia nuts and an assortment of delightful macadamia nut treats, including macadamia nut coffee, macadamia nut brittle, and macadamia nut honey.

Immerse yourself in the history of the farm and the cultivation process of macadamia nuts, perhaps even witnessing the harvesting in action. A visit to Tropical Farms provides a delightful opportunity to connect with Hawaii's agricultural heritage and indulge in some of the island's most delectable treats.

IMG_2836.jpeg

WAIMEA VALLEY

After a scenic drive along Oahu's North Shore, the tour stops at the gorgeous Waimea Valley. This place is perfect for visitors because of its lush tropical gardens, waterfalls, and fascinating cultural history. People have lived in this valley for more than 700 years, and the Hawaiian cultural center there gives you a peek into the traditions and way of life of the island's native people.

You can enjoy a relaxed walk through the botanical gardens, taking in the beauty of exotic plants. If you're up for it, you can also take a refreshing dip in the Waimea Falls. Just a heads up, if you choose to do that, bring a change of clothes because getting wet is pretty much guaranteed. Waimea Valley is not just beautiful but also has a rich history, making it a must-visit spot on any trip to Oahu.

DOLE PLANTATION

he last stop on the tour is the Dole Plantation, a must-visit if you're a fan of pineapples. It's a fun and educational place for people of all ages. Besides enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can explore the history of Dole and the pineapple industry through hands-on exhibits and displays.

There are cool attractions like the Pineapple Garden Maze, known as the world’s biggest maze, the Pineapple Express train ride for a scenic tour, and the Plantation Grille where you can try various pineapple-flavored dishes. You can also wander through well-kept gardens and grab souvenirs, including tasty pineapple treats, from the gift shop. All in all, the Dole Plantation is a fantastic way to wrap up the tour with a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Hawaii Tours FAQ

The ideal stay on Oahu can vary, but a common recommendation is about 5 to 7 days. This allows you to explore the island’s major attractions, enjoy some beach time, and get a taste of its unique culture. Of course, the more time you have, the more you can discover!

Oahu is beautiful year-round, but the best time to visit for great weather and fewer crowds is typically from mid-April to early June and September to mid-December. These are the shoulder seasons, providing a more relaxed and pleasant experience.

It takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours to drive around the entire island if you’re taking the scenic route without many stops. However, exploring the island thoroughly with stops at various attractions will take a full day or more. For reference, our Circle Island Tour lasts around 9 hours.

Guided tours offer you the expertise of local guides who can provide insights, take you to the best spots, and ensure you make the most of your visit. Whether it’s a historical tour, a hiking adventure, or a cultural exploration, guided tours can make your Oahu experience truly memorable.

Among the multitude of tours available on Oahu, the two most iconic and highly sought-after experiences are the Circle Island Tours and Pearl Harbor Tours. These tours have consistently garnered immense popularity among visitors, offering distinct and compelling attractions that captivate the hearts of tourists from around the world.

While several transportation options are available, guided bus tours stand out as the most comfortable and economical means of experiencing all that Hawaii has to offer. Guided bus tours provide an unbeatable combination of comfort, convenience, and affordability. They offer travelers a stress-free and leisurely way to explore Hawaii’s most famous attractions and hidden gems.

For your first visit to Hawaii, Oahu is an ideal choice due to its well-developed infrastructure, making it easy to explore the island. Oahu offers a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury resorts to budget-friendly choices, and is equipped with modern amenities. You can enjoy diverse activities, from relaxing on famous beaches like Waikiki to exploring cultural sites like Pearl Harbor. The island’s culinary scene and cultural experiences are rich and varied, providing a well-rounded introduction to Hawaii’s offerings. Whether you’re interested in relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, Oahu has something to offer every traveler.

Hawaii’s weather is characterized by a tropical climate, offering warm temperatures year-round. Coastal areas typically experience temperatures in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit (20s to 30s Celsius) during the day, with relatively mild fluctuations between seasons. Trade winds provide a pleasant breeze, especially in the summer. While Hawaii does have wet and dry seasons, rain showers are common but brief, with the wetter season occurring from November to March. The leeward (west) sides of the islands tend to be drier, while the windward (east) sides receive more rainfall. Overall, Hawaii offers pleasant weather for outdoor activities and beach visits throughout the year.

Choosing the best Hawaiian island to visit depends on your preferences. Oahu is great for first-timers, offering a mix of culture, activities, and infrastructure. Maui is known for its natural beauty, including the Road to Hana and Haleakalā. The Big Island (Hawaii) is perfect for adventure seekers with its volcanoes and diverse landscapes. Kauai is a haven for nature lovers, famous for its lush, pristine scenery. Molokai and Lanai are quieter and less touristy, ideal for a more relaxed experience.
