Majestic Circle Island Tour from Waikiki & Ko Olina

Since 1974, E Noa Tours’ Majestic Circle Island has been one of the most rewarding ways to explore O?ahu’s stunning scenery and rich cultural heritage. Knowledgeable tour professionals guide you through a full day of sightseeing, helping you and your family create lasting memories.

This itinerary is designed to maximize time spent off the bus, giving your group the opportunity to truly experience each location’s beauty and significance. Traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned mini-bus keeps group sizes small, allowing for a more personal and relaxed experience with your guide. All admission fees are included—just bring spending money for snacks and souvenirs.

A delicious lunch is part of the day, with your driver sharing the day’s menu and offering a selection from favorite local spots. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, and guests planning a swim at Waimea Falls should bring a change of clothes.

Itinerary:

• Nu’uanu Pali Lookout – The first stop of the day is at one of the most scenic and historic places in all of O’ahu. Learn the story about how King Kamehameha united all of the Hawaiian Islands under one monarchy as you visit the very spot where a famous battle took place.


• Byodo-In Temple – As you drive along the Ko’olau mountain range, you'll stop to discover a hidden gem tucked away from the main road. Byodo-In Temple was featured by National Geographic in “20 of the world’s most beautiful Buddhist temples,” noting its architectural details and awe-inspiring surroundings.


• Tropical Farms—famously known as “The Little Country Store On Your Way to the North Shore,” Steve and Chrissy Paty started this as a roadside operation in 1987. Three decades later, it’s a great place to try different local snacks and learn how to crack open some macadamia nuts as the chickens stand by watching hungrily, hoping you drop a nut or two.
  
• North Shore Lunch Stop – Your driver will update you on the daily menu and determine a great place for everyone to enjoy a delicious lunch before driving alongside the world-famous North Shore O’ahu coastline on the way to the next adventure.


• Waimea Valley – Follow your E Noa tour guide on a short hike to a 45' waterfall where you can swim. Learn about the ancient history of Waimea Valley and why it’s considered to be a very significant and religious site.
  
• Dole Plantation – The tour concludes with a drive through Haleiwa Surf Town and beautiful pineapple fields before stopping at the Dole Plantation. Don’t forget to try the world-famous Dole Whip frozen dessert, a perfect treat under the Hawaiian afternoon sun!
