This tour hit all the highlights of the island and I would definitely recommend it, can’t beat the small group vibe!”

Travel from Waikiki or Kahala with an English-speaking guide such as John, Stephanie, or Jonah. Hike Diamond Head, stop at coastal lookouts, sample macadamia nuts, choose lunch at Kahuku Sugar Mill, visit Haleiwa and Dole Plantation, then return by air-conditioned van.

“This trip was amazing mainly due to Stephanie, our tour guide, being so magical! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the whole island, had fun movie trivia in every location, and overall made the whole experience fantastic. My husband and I agree that if there was any other tour in the world, no matter how mundane, if Stephanie was the tour guide we'd be there. Additionally, the sights this tour affords (as well as fun mini sightseeing thanks to Stephanie's recommendations) are perfect, and for such a reasonable price! I highly recommend taking this tour, as I don't think you'll see the island the same way!”

Join Travis or Amanda for a private Oahu day built around your interests. You may hike to Likeke or Lulumahu Falls, swim at Sherwood Beach, climb Lanikai Pillbox, visit Spitting Cave, and adjust the plan for weather, fitness, and adventure level.

“For me, this was the perfect way to kick off the first serious vacation I've had in a long time! Travis was understanding, a good listener, and came up with a good plan for the day despite not knowing exactly what I wanted besides adventure and maybe some cliff diving. Ne-lani was a very nice bonus for dog lovers. Fearless and friendly, that's for sure! Got tons of great photos, and had fun learning more about hawaii. Had a few pleasant surprises along the way as well, but I will not spoil that. He pushed me past my comfort zone just the right amount, and thankfully that sense of travel…”

Oahu: Diamond Head Sunrise Hike with Acai Bowl and Malasada

15.Diamond Head Sunrise Hike with Acai Bowl and Malasada

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 44 reviews · 4 hours · from $99

Start before sunrise with hotel pickup, a roughly 30-minute climb up Diamond Head, and 360-degree views over Waikiki. Afterward, enjoy a mini acai bowl at Bogart’s Cafe and a malasada near the crater. The English or Japanese-speaking driver handles transport, but this is not a fully guided hike.

“We were a little bit late to the gathering point at Diamond Head and the shuttle left. Lucky we found another driver of the local tour company nearby and swift special arrangement was made for us. The early pick up helped us to move fast and get a good place for seeing the beautiful sunrise. It was too rush for us and failed to send tips to the staff. I feel sorry about that.”
