Chief’s self-guided Pearl Harbor audio tour on Oahu: $9.99 with a multimedia device and map, plus optional $1 USS Arizona boat tickets.
Most Popular“Unable to take the tour due to the storm on Oahu. Unfortunate that they closed all the state buildings due to the big storm.”
Guided hike to Manoa Falls in Rainbow Valley plus a Pu’u ‘Ualaka’a lookout, with Waikiki pickup and a small-group pace for $79.
“They drop you off and you go at your pace. They called to see when you want to be picked up. The walk was nice but the waterfall was disappointing.”
Self-guided Kailua kayak adventure with snorkel gear, landing permits, and bikes. Explore Lanikai and the Mokulua Islands at your pace.
“Great and rest experience. Kayaking was great and very nice that it comes with available parking snorkel gear and more. We snorkeled and saw turtles nest the island.”
Shuttle to a lush rainforest hike at Manoa Falls. Short but steep, with water, bug spray, and a walking stick for the journey.
“Just a reminder that it is all up hill with very uneven stones to climb. Bring a walking stick to help. We are older and take ur time. Nature was wonderful with a cockatiel laughing like a person in the trees at trail beginning! Falls are worth it.”
Self-guided Diamond Head hike with official narrated audio, map, and earphones for $8.99, but park entry and parking are separate.
“We were headed up to Diamond head and heard we needed tickets for entry. We thought this was it- it was not. You buy Diamond head tickets right from their site. We are going back but this tour was worthless because we couldn’t get I . I know it was part my error for not…”
From Pearl Harbor to the North Shore, the reef off Waikiki to the valleys of the windward coast. Every way to spend a day on the island.
