Oahu Suggested Itineraries
For many visitors, Oahu is Hawaii. Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, Honolulu – all those names we instantly associate with Hawaii are on Oahu. Away from the famous surf beaches lined with holiday resorts and high-rises, rugged volcanic peaks tower over pineapple plantations and landmarks from Polynesian legends cast their special magic.
Day 1: Tour US History
World War Two history is tangibly linked to Oahu and the events that took place at Pearl Harbor. Pay your respects to the crew who died aboard USS Arizona in December 1941 and step aboard USS Missouri to get an idea of shipboard life. Visit the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center to see film footage from 1941, as well as moving artifacts recovered after the attack. The focus is on the aerial battlefield at the Pacific Aviation Museum, with its collection of rare vintage US and Japanese aircraft.
Day 2: Surfin' Safari
Feeling inspired by watching wannabe Kelly
Slaters tame Oahu’s monstrous waves? Then why not grab the chance to
learn to surf in Oahu? You can have a one-on-one lesson with your
instructor, or join a small group of four students. The best beaches to
practice your surfing moves are Waikiki, North Shore spots like Puena
Point and Cockroach Bay on the east coast. And to see how whales surf
the waves, sail around Oahu on a whale-watching cruise to spot humpbacks
and dolphins hang ten.
Day 3: Hawaiian Landscapes
Discover
Oahu’s rainforest heart, on a guided walk through Polynesian forests of
rosy-red hibiscus flowers and golden honeycreepers. Don’t miss a stroll
through the Valley of the Rainbows, to see the iridescent rainbow
effect of sunlight reflected on water. The best place to stroll through
fields of pineapples is the legendary Dole Plantation, with its cute
tourist train and world’s largest maze. And if you’re an early riser,
wake up before dawn to travel to Diamond Head Crater to see the sun rise
over Waikiki.

Excellent tour. Guide was excellent Unfortunately, he is leaving to go to Dental School. Easy walk. No hiking shoes needed. Sneakers are fine since a good portion is paved. If you can walk any distance uphill there are no problems with walk. Guide stopped a few times at lookouts to allow others to catch up , take pictures, and impart his knowledge. Worth the tour.

Highly recommend. Very moving. The oil still seeping from the water was definitely a sight to see. The Missouri was a nice take also . No bag policy is strictly enforced, but they had a bag check shack which worked out well. Not many food options if you are at the Missouri around luch time. They have a canteeen that basically sells only hotdogs. Store has packaged sandwiches. Well worth the time
