A Day Trip to Remember: Pearl Harbor & Mini Circle Island Tour from Maui
About Your Tour
The day begins with an early morning flight from Maui to Oahu, where we’ll start by visiting the historic Pearl Harbor. Here, you’ll explore the USS Arizona Memorial and learn about the attack that changed the course of history on December 7, 1941. Our knowledgeable guide will take you through the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where you can dive deep into the exhibits, showcasing the brave stories of that tragic day.
Following our time at Pearl Harbor, we’ll set off on a Mini Circle Island Tour. Throughout the day, you’ll witness the incredible diversity of Oahu’s landscapes, from its famous North Shore beaches to the volcanic cliffs along the South Shore. The journey also takes you through the lush rainforests of the Ko’olau Mountains, giving you a true taste of Oahu’s natural beauty.
Highlights of the tour include:
- Dole Pineapple Pavilion: Stop here for a refreshing treat or pick up some pineapple souvenirs.
- North Shore Surf Beaches: See where some of the world’s best surfers catch legendary waves.
- Pali Lookout: Offering dramatic views of Oahu’s Windward side, this is a must-see stop.
- Hanauma Bay Lookout: (Closed on Tuesdays) Enjoy panoramic views of this world-renowned snorkelling spot.
- Diamond Head Crater Lookout: Capture incredible views of Waikiki and the extinct volcanic crater.
We’ll also drive through Hale’iwa Town, the historic surfing village, and stop for lunch at one of two local favourites:
- Fumi’s Shrimp Truck or
- The Farm, where you can enjoy delicious farm-to-table meals.
Lunch is not included in the tour price, but both options offer a tasty, affordable meal.
As we continue around the island, we’ll pass several scenic lookouts, including the Halona Blowhole and the offshore islands of Windward Oahu. This is your chance to take in the natural beauty of the island, from volcanic formations to pristine coastlines.
By the end of the tour, you’ll return to Maui by evening, feeling like you’ve experienced the very best of Oahu.
