WHAT THE CIRCLE ISLAND TOUR INVOLVES
A ten-hour loop of Oahu from Waikiki with a local guide, built around timed stops rather than drive-bys:
– Halona Blowhole, with a light local breakfast from Leonard’s Malasadas and a bottle of water
– Kahuku Fruit Stand (20 minutes), known for its fried local banana and locally grown exotic fruit
– Waimea Valley (1 hour), for the waterfall and lush foliage
– Historic Haleiwa town
– Matsumoto Shave Ice (30 minutes), optional purchase
– Dole Plantation (45 minutes), home of the original “Dole Whip”
HOW IT RUNS
Pickup is in Waikiki in the early morning; your booking confirmation gives the pickup point and time. Stop lengths are approximate and depend on traffic.
PRICING
From $137 per adult from Waikiki; child rates are shown on the booking calendar. Confirm current rates at booking, as seasonal pricing and group discounts change.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
– A light local breakfast and bottled water are included; lunch and other purchases are at your own cost
– Do not leave personal belongings on the vehicle when making stops
– It is a long day, so bring water and a hat
– Wear comfortable shoes for repeated stops
– Cancellation: Confirm the operator’s current cancellation window when you book.
WHO IT IS FOR
Visitors who would rather get out of the vehicle properly than drive past things. Fly Shuttle Tours publish the stop lengths, which is unusual and worth having: a full hour at Waimea Valley for the waterfall and foliage, 45 minutes at the Dole Plantation, home of the original Dole Whip, 30 minutes at Matsumoto Shave Ice, and 20 minutes at the Kahuku Fruit Stand, known for its fried local banana and exotic fruit. Historic Haleiwa town is on the route too. At ten hours this is a long day, but the trade is that you actually spend time at the places rather than collecting them from a window. Purchases at the shave ice and fruit stops are optional and not in the price. Pickup is in Waikiki.
Consider instead: the same tour departs from Ko Olina at $165 if you are staying on that side of the island. For a shorter day with more emphasis on food, the eight-hour Sights and Bites tour is $149 with lunch at the Shrimp Truck built in.
