This full-day adventure includes admission to the Byodo-In Temple and Waimea Valley Botanical Garden, plus a delicious local shrimp lunch — offering a complete Hawaii experience in one unforgettable tour.

Your journey begins in Waikiki, circling Diamond Head and stopping at the historic Amelia Earhart Point. Continue along the island’s southeast coast to view the famous Halona Blowhole and “From Here to Eternity” Beach. Take in ocean views from Makapuʻu Lookout and the rugged lava cliffs before heading to the Pali Lookout — once described by Mark Twain as the most beautiful view on Earth. Explore the Valley of the Temples and the serene Byodo-In Temple, nestled beneath the Koʻolau Mountains.

As you travel along the Windward Coast, admire Chinaman’s Hat in Kaneohe Bay, stop for a fresh shrimp plate in Kahuku, and spot rare Hawaiian wetland birds along the way. Visit Sunset Beach, the legendary big-wave surfing spot, and then stroll through Waimea Valley’s lush gardens to swim beneath the picturesque Waimea Falls.
