Overview
See all O`ahu has to offer and enjoy a ride around the Ko`olau Mountain Range. Visit the South or North Shore on a Mini Circle Island Tour, or see them both in one. Guests can enjoy the water, beautiful hidden beaches, great shopping, outstanding restaurants, and much more. This island offers incredible variety and beautiful scenery, and you have to see it all!
Any guests wanting to see both the North and South Shores must book at least a Full-Day Tour. While guests can enjoy a North Shore Express Mini-Circle Island on a Half-Day Tour, we typically recommend at least a Full Day. On the other hand, the South Shore Mini-Circle Island Tour is perfect for those wanting to get out of the city for a Half-Day Tour.
