Honolulu

We’ll take you on a journey through the iconic places that tell the real story of Hawaii: from the battle that changed the fate of the archipelago, to the most unexpected royal palace in the United States, right through to the first houses of the European missionaries. A journey that takes in monarchs, tropical forests, craters, royal architecture and the events that have shaped Oʻahu’s identity.

• Pali Lookout: views and site of the historic battle
• Nuʻuanu Valley and rainforest
• Royal Mausoleum (Mauna ‘Ala): the burial place of the royals
• Iolani Palace: the only royal residence in the USA
• Statue of King Kamehameha I
• Kawaiahaʻo Church, Hawaii’s historic “Westminster Abbey”
• Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site & Archives

We'll set off towards Nuʻuanu Valley, where the greenery grows ever more intense until we reach Pali Lookout, the site of the battle during which Kamehameha I conquered Oʻahu. The views are impressive, and the knowledge of what happened right there lends a certain weight to the panoramas.

Then, pass through a tunnel of trees to reach Mauna ‘Ala, the Royal Mausoleum, the burial place of most of Hawaii's monarchs: a quiet, sober corner that says far more than meets the eye.

The next stop is Iolani Palace, the only royal residence in the United States. Rooms, furnishings, details: everything tells the story of the last monarchs of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Outside, other important symbols await you: the statue of Kamehameha I and the historic Kawaiahaʻo Church.

The tour ends at the Mission Houses, the former dwellings of the missionaries who helped to transform the language, education and customs of the archipelago. Three simple houses that are essential to gaining a true understanding of an important part of Hawaiian history.

A day that brings together battles, monarchs, palaces and missionaries. A side of Honolulu you don’t always see, but which explains everything else.

• The experience is not recommended for guests with mobility problems.
• Comfortable shoes are recommended.

Waikiki is just the beginning.
This helicopter flight takes you over rainforests, extinct volcanoes, perfect beaches and legendary bays.
A 45-minute experience that transforms the island into a panoramic spectacle: pure wonder, from start to finish.

• Fly over Waikiki and its turquoise coral reefs
• Aerial views of the Diamond Head crater
• Fly over Hanauma Bay, Waimanalo Beach and Chinaman’s Hat
• Incredible views of Kaneohe Bay Coral Reef
• Fly over the rocky outcrops of the Nuuanu Valley Rainforest
• Fly over Sacred Falls
• Epic views of the Dole Pineapple Plantation
• Fly over of Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri

The Blue Skies of Oahu experience begins with a gentle take-off, almost imperceptible.
The helicopter climbs higher and Waikiki spreads out below, and the beauty of the island suddenly comes to life in three glorious dimensions.

We begin with the coral reefs of Waikiki, a mosaic of turquoise shades that cannot be seen from the shore.
Then, there it is: Diamond Head, the iconic extinct volcano, a gigantic crown that reveals its perfect shape when admired from above.

The flight continues toward the elegant curve of Hanauma Bay, a natural amphitheater sculpted over time, and over the pure white stretch of Waimanalo Beach, which seems endless when viewed from the sky.
Then Chinaman’s Hat comes into view, the tiny volcanic islet that has become one of the icons of the island, followed immediately by the intense colors of Kaneohe Bay, with its amazing coral formations.

But the best is yet to come: the soaring rocky cliffs of the Nuuanu Valley Rainforest are sheer, green and damp: a wall of primeval nature.
From this point, we turn towards Sacred Falls, a stunning waterfall that is closed to the public from the ground – which makes it even more magical when viewed from the sky.

The tour concludes with some historic views: Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial, and Battleship Missouri.
Places that, when viewed from above, carry a different weight, a different kind of silence, and a history that can be felt even without words.

Finally, the helicopter heads back, the sea draws nearer again, and dry land comes into view.
And the feeling is unique: you’ve seen Oahu as barely anyone else does — from the only point capable of making everything look even more extraordinary

A day traveling along the North Shore, taking in temples, wild bays, legendary surf spots and views that change around every corner. Then, we'll move on to Byodo-In Temple, with its Zen gardens and peacocks roaming free, to beaches where surfers take on waves that are simply off the scale. And in between stops, look out for turtles, admire turquoise bays and the colorful town of Haleiwa and stop off at the Dole Plantation. A day that shows the island at its most authentic.

• Koʻolau Mountains and Nuʻuanu Valley
• Byodo‑In Temple: Japanese temple and Zen gardens – free time to explore
• Malaekahana Bay and the east coast
• North Shore: turtle sightings are possible
• Sunset Beach, Pipeline, Haleiwa
• Lunch included and time to explore the village
• Visit to the Dole Plantation

The journey begins with a crossing of the Koʻolau Mountains, which seem to have been sculpted to specifically to amaze: green cliffs, jagged ridges and that characteristic island light that changes around every corner. Our first stop is the Byodo-In Temple, a Zen corner where peacocks wander and koi swim in the ponds: a taste of Japan in the heart of Oʻahu.

Then the route turns eastwards, along Malaekahana Bay and the wildest stretches of the coastline: crashing waves, bright white sand and — if you’re lucky — green turtles basking on the shore as if it were their own private terrace.

And then you arrive at the North Shore: Sunset Beach, Pipeline, Haleiwa… all the big names. The waves here are no joke: between October and March, they can reach heights of up to 15 meters, and only the most hardened surfers dare to take them on.

After lunch, a stroll through the colorful town of Haleiwa, perfect for photos, shopping and soaking up the local vibe, before the final stop: the Dole Plantation, with its pineapple fields and tropical souvenirs.

The journey back to Honolulu goes by fast, but one thing is for certain: the North Shore doesn’t offer a show… it imposes it.

• Since December 2021, buses have not been allowed to stop at most of the beaches along the east and north coasts.
• This tour is not recommended for guests with mobility problems.
• Seeing fauna in its natural setting is not guaranteed.

Introducing Honolulu in all its glory. First, you'll discover the island’s urban heart: Chinatown, the Civic Center, Iolani Palace, the State Capitol and the historic Kawaiahaʻo Church. Then, head up to the Punchbowl Crater, an ancient extinct volcano that boasts one of the city’s most stunning views. And to end in style: enjoy 4 hours in Waikiki's most iconic locations, where you can shop, indulge in some lunch with a view of the ocean, or simply sink your toes into the sand. Here, you set the pace: slow, fast or tropical.

• Chinatown
• Civic Center & State Capitol
• Iolani Palace
• Kawaiahaʻo Church
• Punchbowl Crater – National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific
• 4 hours of free time in Waikiki

As soon as you set off, you’re immediately immersed in the very essence of Honolulu: colors, energy and that unique blend of city and island that you won’t find anywhere else. The first taste you'll get is Chinatown, a bustling center of markets, shop signs and scents that immediately draw you into the rhythm of the island.

From here, we move on to the historic heart of the city: the State Capitol, Iolani Palace (the only royal palace in the United States) and the Mission Houses, where you’ll discover how the past is interwoven with modern-day Hawaii. Then, it's time to head up to Punchbowl Crater, an extinct volcano that has been transformed into a memorial: a place that whispers, but leaves a lasting impression. The view of the city from up here is one of those moments that'll help you to really understand it, instead of just looking at it.

On your way back towards the city center, you’ll pass the statue of King Kamehameha, the City Hall and the historic Kawaiahaʻo Church, built from thousands of coral blocks: a detail that reminds you that, here, everything begins with the ocean.

And then the scenery changes: Waikiki, with 4 hours just for you. Enjoy some shopping, savor lunch whilst looking out over the ocean, or simply lie back on Hawaii’s most famous beach and decide that, yes, this island really does have that certain something. A perfect tour for a real overview of Hawaii: history, views, towns, beaches and a finale that bears the scent of Aloha.

• Buses are not permitted to stop at Punchbowl Crater (National Cemetery of the Pacific).

A route that takes you to a place that marked a turning point in history: Pearl Harbor. Next, we'll head up to Punchbowl Crater, an ancient volcano that has become a place of remembrance, before ending the tour in Honolulu, with its royal palaces, historic landmarks and stories that shape the identity of Hawaii. A mix of emotions, landscapes and details that capture the essence of the city better than a thousand brochures ever could.

• National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl)
• Scenic drive along the volcanic crater
• Downtown Honolulu: Capitol, Iolani Palace, Washington Place

The day begins at Pearl Harbor, a place that needs no introduction. At the Visitors Center, everything tells the story of 7 December 1941 without beating around the bush: film footage, eyewitness accounts, artifacts... it’s the story you’ve seen in documentaries, but here, you’re in the place where it all actually happened.

Then, it's time for a change of perspective as you climb up to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, inside the Punchbowl Crater — an ancient volcanic cone that has been turned into a national cemetery. A perfect road, total silence, absolute stillness. More than 50,000 veterans are buried here.

The return to the city is a brief introduction to "Honolulu in brief": the State Capitol (modern and impressive), Washington Place, Iolani Palace, to remind you that there really was once a monarchy here, and the statue of King Kamehameha I, the man who united all of Hawaii back when tourist leaflets hadn't even been invented yet.

By the end of the day, you’ll have taken a trip through memories, dormant volcanoes, iconic buildings and a piece of American history that continues to shape Honolulu’s identity today. Simply put: here, history doesn't make a song and dance… but you won't forget it.

If you want to see the most spectacular side of Oʻahu – its natural, picturesque, “wow” – this is the perfect experience for you: a journey along the island’s south and east coasts, passing beneath Diamond Head, skirting Hanauma Bay, past the Halona Blowhole, to the cliffs of Makapuʻu and the emerald-green views from Pali Lookout. All this, plus with a stop to cool off just like a true local.

• The residential neighborhood of Kahala
• Hanauma Bay
• Halona Blowhole
• Makapuʻu Point and lighthouse
• Refreshment stop with a shop and snacks
• Koʻolau Mountains
• Pali Lookout

The route sets off along the south coast of Oʻahu and you’ll soon find yourself admiring Diamond Head, the island’s most famous crater: it files past you like a star who needs no introduction. Then, cross through Kahala, elegant and very green, before arriving at Hanauma Bay, a bay formed by the collapse of an ancient crater. Between December and May, humpback whales often make an appearance here.

The road continues towards Halona Blowhole, where the ocean has fun spraying water through a lava tunnel. Straight after, head to Makapuʻu Point, with its towering cliff tops, lighthouse and that shade of blue in the ocean that seems to have been made even more intense just for the photo.

You can also look forward to a comfort break, with toilets, a shop and a refreshing snack, all in true island style.

Next, head up towards the Koʻolau Mountains and everything changes: the greenery becomes more intense, the air fresher and the views broader. The final stop is at Pali Lookout, one of Oʻahu’s most popular viewpoints. The wind blows hard here, the view of the coast is spectacular, and you'll realize right away why this island stays in the hearts of everyone who sees it.

The return journey is peaceful and picturesque: the perfect time to let everything you’ve seen sink in and — why not? — choose your next Hawaiian adventure.
