Oahu Island Tour

Spectacular would not even begin to describe the trip around the island
A whole day of fun and excitement with such a wonderful guide
A visual smorgasbord of things to see, vibrant foliage on one side
On the other side of the highway the giant waves the surfers ride
The magnificent experience is second to none, the contrasting colours arouse your senses
With lots of stops along the way, the dole plantation with its mouth-watering pineapple ice cream is a delight you would surely say
The macadamia nut farm with so many delicious varieties to sample, such a tasty treat
Stopped for lunch for a shrimp meal farmed right there, so delicious not to be beat
There is a temple nestled in the forest, such a tranquil experience not to forget
Something you might see on a visit to Tibet
In front is a beautiful pond with koi fish abound
Off to the side, small birds will sit on your hand and take food without making a sound
A stop at the beach where the large green turtles can be found, so amazing to see
Homes of the wealthy next to the beaches of the north shore , with its huge waves and the surfers riding them , as brave as can be
Our tour guide was so full of fun and knowledge , as well as being so proud of his heritage
As our journey has come to an end ,it's a tour I would highly recommend

Lots of fun. I lived there for 3 years when in the Navy. I would love to go back for a visit. I was stationed on Ford Island. Loved the swap meets at the Aloha stadium with pineapple that is to die for. Hanauma Bay was gorgeous - beautiful for snorkeling too. Husband threw frozen peas and the fish swarmed. He tried to boogie board the N. Shore and was thrown. Such a good time with young kids. ~ Kim
