Overview

Discover Oʻahu like never before on this immersive full-day circle island adventure, designed for travelers who want more than just a drive-by tour.

What sets us apart? We combine stunning photo opportunities with authentic local experiences — all in a relaxed, small-group setting.

Start your day with locally grown coffee at a Hawaiian farm, then take a refreshing swim at Waimea Valley’s waterfall, surrounded by tropical gardens. Capture iconic surf breaks on the North Shore before savoring lunch at the famous Kahuku food trucks.

We’ll explore cultural gems like Byodo-In Temple and scenic marvels including Chinaman’s Hat, the Pali Lookout, Makapuʻu cliffs, and the Halona Blowhole.

End the day on a sweet note with fresh malasadas from a local favorite.

From waterfalls to coastlines, temples to food trucks — this is the ultimate way to experience the real Oʻahu.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
