Aloha Sunshine Tours - Pearl Harbor & Oahu Mini Circle Island Tour Oahu

Departing from Waikiki
(This tour is also available departing from Maui, Kauai, and The Big Island)

Embark on a memorable journey through Oahu’s most iconic destinations, starting at the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites Visitor Center, where history comes to life. Discover fascinating exhibits detailing the events leading up to the fateful attack on December 7, 1941. Watch a powerful documentary that captures the significance of that day, before boarding a boat for a peaceful ride across the harbor to the USS Arizona Memorial. There, experience the solemnity of this hallowed site, where the sunken battleship rests beneath the surface, and oil droplets—“The Tears of the Arizona”—still rise to honor the 1,177 lives lost.

At the Dole Plantation, visitors can enjoy a variety of attractions, including the scenic Pineapple Express Train Tour through pineapple fields (available depending on the size of your tour group), the colorful Rainbow Eucalyptus trees in the gardens, and the iconic Dole Whip, a refreshing pineapple soft serve. The plantation's large gift shop offers a wide selection of pineapple-themed souvenirs and local products.

Explore Oahu’s diverse beauty with a scenic drive through the famous North Shore surf beaches and the charming Haleiwa Town. Marvel at panoramic views from the Pali Lookout and enjoy a local favorite lunch at Fumi’s Shrimp Truck. Continue along the South Shore, stopping at breathtaking lookouts like Halona Blowhole, Hanauma Bay, and Diamond Head Crater. The tour concludes with stunning vistas of the Windward coast and its offshore islands.

This tour combines the island's natural beauty, rich history, and local flavors, starting with a visit to the Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial and continuing with a visually spectacular journey through Oahu's top attractions.
