Catch the spirit of aloha with Oahu Surfing Tours — fun, safe lessons with local instructors on Hawaii’s most iconic surf beaches. Ride the waves of paradise!
Experience the thrill of surfing and capture every moment! Join our professional surf photography session...
Your photographer enters the water with you, not standing on the beach with a zoom lens hoping for the best. This in-water positioning means they're shooting from ocean level, which gives your photos that dramatic low angle where you look like you're towering over the wave — the shot that actually looks like surfing, not a distant human blob on a white ribbon of foam.
High-resolution digital images are delivered after the session, giving you actual files you can print large or share without the compression damage that kills phone screenshots. You're not getting watermarked previews or a gallery you have to pay extra to unlock — these are your photos, delivered so you can actually use them.Experience a breathtaking 90-minute sunset paddleboarding session from Waikiki’s shoreline, where the South Shore dazzles...
All paddleboarding equipment is provided, including a full-size SUP board and paddle sized to your height and build. You won't need to rent or haul anything — just show up at the water's edge and your guide will have everything ready to go, already in the water.
Guided instruction is included for the full 90 minutes, not just a quick five-minute beach briefing before they send you off alone. Your guide stays in the water with the group the entire session, offering real-time balance tips, helping you read the small swells, and pointing out the moments worth pausing to take in.Experience the magic of Waikiki Beach with a private two-hour SUP lesson, where the stunning...
All necessary SUP equipment is provided, including a full-size stand-up paddleboard and paddle sized to your height and experience level. You show up in your swimsuit — the gear is waiting for you on the beach, already rinsed and ready to go, so there's no rental counter, no wasted time.
Your session includes a certified, one-on-one instructor for the entire two hours — not a guide who splits attention between six people. That dedicated coaching is what makes this format accelerate progress so noticeably; when someone is watching only you, corrections happen in seconds, not after you've repeated the same mistake twenty times.Begin your surfing adventure with comprehensive lessons designed for beginners and intermediate surfers.

Snorkel gear — mask, fins, and flotation noodles — is provided for every guest on board, so you don't need to haul equipment from your hotel or rent anything separately. The crew does a quick gear-fitting and a genuine snorkel briefing before you enter the water, which means even first-timers aren't fumbling with their mask at the surface while everyone else is already watching a turtle glide by.
A gourmet lunch is served on the catamaran after the snorkel stop, and it's a proper meal — think fresh local ingredients, not pre-packaged fare — eaten while the boat sails gently back toward Honolulu. Non-alcoholic beverages are included throughout the trip, and the catamaran's wide deck gives you room to find a shady spot or plant yourself in the sun depending on what you need after your time in the water.Experience the freedom of self-guided snorkeling at famous Sharks Cove, one of Oahu’s premier shore...

All kayaking and snorkel equipment is included in your rental — you'll get a sit-on-top kayak, paddle, personal flotation device, snorkel mask, and fins before you launch. This means you show up in your swimsuit and reef-safe sunscreen and nothing else; there's no scramble to source gear or pay extra at the beach.
The protected waters of Kaneohe Bay are classified as a Marine Life Conservation District, which means the reef here sees dramatically less boat traffic and fishing pressure than most Oahu snorkel sites. In practical terms, that translates to healthier coral, more fish, and visibility that frequently exceeds 30 feet — conditions that make the snorkeling genuinely rewarding even for first-timers.Set sail from Waikiki’s Pier 6 near Aloha Tower on a two-hour deluxe catamaran whale...
A licensed marine naturalist rides every departure and provides running commentary on humpback behavior, migration patterns, and Hawaiian ocean ecology. This isn't a pre-recorded audio tour — they're scanning the water with you, calling out what they see, and answering every question your keiki throws at them, which in practice means you leave knowing something real about these animals.
The deluxe catamaran features shaded seating areas and a comfortable deck layout that accommodates guests who want to stay out of the sun as well as those who want to plant themselves on the bow netting directly over the water. Complimentary beverages are available on board, so you're not standing at a cooler fighting for a warm drink — just enjoying the sail while you keep your eyes on the horizon.Rent a kayak and paddle to Kaneohe Bay’s world-famous disappearing sandbar, a natural phenomenon that...

Air-conditioned motorcoach transportation is included for the full 9-hour duration of the tour, which matters more than it sounds — by midday the interior of Oahu hits real heat, and having a cool bus to return to between stops lets you actually enjoy each location instead of wilting. The coach also serves as your moving vantage point between stops, with large windows that frame the Ko'olau Mountains and the coastline like a slow-rolling panorama you don't have to navigate yourself.
A professional, licensed guide accompanies the group for the entire tour and narrates each stop with local context you simply won't find in a guidebook — stories about the Battle of Nu'uanu at the Pali, the history of the North Shore surf culture, and why the shrimp trucks near Kahuku taste so much better than anything in Waikiki. This isn't a recorded audio loop; it's a real person who grew up around these stories and can answer your questions on the spot.Experience the enchantment of Disney combined with Hawaii’s natural beauty aboard our family-friendly catamaran adventure....

The Alii premium seating places your table within the first two rows directly in front of the performance stage, which makes a real difference when the fire knife dancer works close to the crowd and the drummers hit full rhythm. You're not watching this through a sea of heads — you're close enough to feel the heat from the torches and see the expressions on the performers' faces.
The premium package includes a dedicated server for your section, meaning drinks stay topped off and you're not standing in a buffet line while the show starts. The gourmet food spread for Alii guests features enhanced options beyond the standard luau fare, including elevated preparations of traditional Hawaiian dishes like lomi lomi salmon, haupia, and the slow-roasted kalua pork pulled fresh from the imu.Experience the Mauka Warriors Luau Mo’i Royal Package, a premier Nui Tours offering set in...
Royal Package guests receive priority seating at premium reserved tables positioned front-and-center to the stage — no craning your neck, no blocked sightlines, no shuffling in late and ending up in the back row. In practical terms, this means you can actually read the expressions on the performers' faces during the fire knife dance, which changes the whole experience from a distant light show into something genuinely visceral.
The Mo'i experience includes an elevated multi-course feast that goes well beyond the standard luau buffet, featuring premium proteins, traditional Hawaiian preparations like lomi lomi salmon and haupia, and dedicated table service so your drink is never empty. Guests have noted the portions are generous and the food quality is noticeably higher than what they'd had at other O'ahu luaus — the kalua pig especially, slow-cooked in the imu (underground oven), has that deep smokiness you can't fake with a commercial kitchen.Experience our exclusive Ali’i Premium package with enhanced midsection seating and internal booking benefits.

Beverage service is included with your Show Only ticket, meaning you won't be sitting dry while everyone else has a drink in hand. Expect standard options served during the show — it keeps the mood right and takes the edge off the open-air evening air, which can get surprisingly cool once the sun drops behind the Ko'olau range.
Cultural activity participation is part of the show-only experience, not just a spectator add-on. Before the main performance begins, guests typically get hands-on time with things like lei-making, hula basics, or other traditional Hawaiian crafts — the kind of 10-minute intro that actually sticks with you longer than you'd expect.Embark on a breathtaking 45-minute helicopter tour from Honolulu, discovering Oahu’s hidden gems inaccessible by...
Expert pilot narration is included throughout the flight, covering Hawaiian history, geology, and local legends specific to the landmarks you're flying over. This isn't a pre-recorded audio loop — your pilot points out features in real time, adjusts the route when conditions allow, and answers questions, so the commentary actually matches what you're looking at out the window.
The tour operates in a small-group format, which means you're not packed into a large aircraft with a dozen strangers craning for the same window. Fewer passengers translates directly to better sightlines, more room to move your camera, and a flight experience that feels personal rather than like a commuter shuttle with scenery.Experience Oahu like never before on this 60-minute helicopter tour from Honolulu, featuring stunning views...
Professional pilot commentary via noise-canceling headsets is included throughout the full 60 minutes. This isn't a looping recorded track — the pilot reads the weather and adjusts the narrative in real time, pointing out things like whether the surf is actually breaking at Pipeline that day or explaining the military history visible from above Pearl Harbor in a way a pamphlet never could.
All safety equipment and FAA-regulated pre-flight briefing are included with every flight. The briefing covers door-on versus door-off configurations, weight distribution seating, and what to expect during banking turns — practical information that settles first-timer nerves and helps you actually enjoy the flight instead of white-knuckling the seat the whole time.Combine Pearl Harbor’s most iconic experiences with this exclusive Battleship Missouri tour and helicopter flight...

Round-trip interisland airfare from Honolulu to Hilo or Kona is included, which means no separate flight booking, no baggage juggling, and no showing up to an airport gate you've never been to alone. You'll be coordinated with the group from the moment you arrive, so even first-time inter-island travelers don't have to stress the logistics.
The helicopter flight over active lava flows is the centerpiece — you're in a tour helicopter with large windows positioned specifically for viewing, and flights are routed over the current active zones in and around Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Conditions vary day to day based on volcanic activity and weather, so your guide will brief you on what's currently flowing before you lift off.Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kauai’s dramatic landscapes with this comprehensive helicopter and ground tour...

The BYOB policy means you bring your own cooler stocked with whatever you want — beer, wine, seltzers, juice, snacks. There's no restriction policing what's in your bag, and having your own drinks means you're not watching a meter run while you're trying to relax on the water.
Open-air deck seating gives you 360-degree views with no obstructions, and the boat is sized to keep things intimate rather than crowded. You're not wedged into a bench on a party barge — there's actual room to move, sit up front near the bow, or find a quiet spot at the stern while your crew does their thing.Sail into paradise aboard our premium vessel along Oahu’s stunning west coast, where crystal-clear waters...

The charter is completely private, meaning the boat is reserved exclusively for your group for the full two hours. In practical terms, this means the captain is your personal guide — you can ask questions, request to linger at a particular break longer, and have real conversations about the history of these waves without talking over a group of strangers.
The departure point is Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor, one of the most charming working harbors on Oahu — it smells like salt and diesel and freshly caught fish in the best possible way. Parking is available near the harbor, and the Haleiwa town strip is right there if you want to grab a shave ice or a plate lunch before or after your time on the water.Kaneohe Bay, on Oahu’s windward side, is a hidden gem sheltered by the Ko’olau Mountains....
The tritoon vessel itself is the key amenity here — wider and more stable than a standard pontoon, with a flat deck layout that gives keiki and kupuna alike a safe, comfortable platform for getting in and out of the water. In practical terms, that stability means you're not white-knuckling a railing every time someone moves to the swim ladder; the boat sits solid, which makes the whole day feel relaxed rather than athletic.
Private charter access means the captain takes your group to the sandbar and surrounding lagoon areas without coordinating around any other passengers — your group sets the stops, the pace, and how long you linger anywhere. If your crew wants to spend three hours wading on the sandbar and another hour tucked into a calm lagoon cove, that call is yours to make, not a tour director's.Honor history with a personalized approach to Pearl Harbor and Arizona Memorial visitation combined with...

Flexible itinerary adapted to personal interestsExperience the Oahu Mix Plate Tour, a 6-hour journey into the island’s authentic food culture....
Private guided tour format means you're not sharing this experience with a bus full of strangers — your group moves at its own pace, and the guide can spend real time talking story about the history and culture behind each dish. In practical terms, that means more time lingering at the spots you love and fewer awkward waits while someone else figures out their order.
Tastings at multiple stops are built into the 6-hour itinerary, covering a genuine spread of Oahu's food landscape from savory plate lunch staples to sweet tropical finishers. You won't be picking at a single appetizer plate — this tour is structured around eating enough to actually understand what local food culture tastes like, not just sample it.Join our flagship AllStar Oahu Circle Island Tour for the ultimate island exploration featuring professional...
Air-Conditioned Tour Vehicle - Modern comfortable transportation with large windows

Premium small-group transportation means you're riding in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with enough space to actually relax between stops — not sitting shoulder-to-shoulder for ten hours. In practical terms, that matters more than people expect: after your third or fourth stop in the Hawaiian sun, sliding back into a cool, comfortable seat feels like a genuine luxury.
Your guide is a local with real knowledge of O'ahu's history, culture, and landscape — not a script reader reciting facts about Captain Cook. That means when you stop at Waimea Bay or Haleiwa, you're getting context about why those places matter to the people who actually live here, which completely changes how you experience them.Discover Oahu’s essential highlights in this efficient 6-hour circle island tour designed for travelers with...

The tour includes exclusive access to locations and experiences not offered on standard North Shore tours, meaning you're getting past the tourist-facing surface and into the actual texture of the coastline. In practical terms, this means stops that don't appear on the usual itinerary — think local spots where the fruit stand guy knows your guide by name and the shave ice hasn't been Instagram-famous yet.
With a full 12-hour structure, meals and breaks are built into the day rather than rushed or skipped — you won't be white-knuckling it past lunch wondering when you'll eat. Guests have noted that the guide handles logistics so smoothly that you arrive at each stop feeling like you've had time to actually absorb the last one, which sounds simple but is surprisingly rare on a day tour.Discover Oahu’s complete beauty on this grand circle island tour featuring the world-famous Dole Plantation...

The private charter format means the boat is exclusively yours for the full 5 to 6 hours — no other guests, no shared snorkel gear queue, no strangers in your photos. In practical terms, that means the crew adjusts the pace and snorkel locations based entirely on what your group wants, whether you have keiki who need more time in shallower water or experienced snorkelers who want to push toward deeper reef structure.
Snorkel gear is provided on board, fitted before you enter the water, which matters more than people expect — a leaking mask ruins the whole experience and a private sail means someone is actually there to help you get it right. The morning departure window is a deliberate choice too; south shore visibility peaks in the first half of the day before afternoon winds stir up the surface and light angle shifts away from the reef.Embark on an unforgettable whale watching adventure from Ko Olina Marina, where Hawaii’s warm waters...

The Dolphin Warrior is a purpose-built vessel designed specifically for marine wildlife encounters, which means the deck layout gives every guest an unobstructed sightline to the water — no fighting for rail space or craning around a mast to see what's happening. In practical terms, this means whether you're traveling with keiki who need to stand in front or grandparents who prefer a seated view, everyone gets the same quality experience without scrambling for position.
As a fully private charter, the boat is yours and yours alone — no strangers, no shared timeline, no compromising on how long you stay with a pod because someone else on the boat wants to head back. This is the detail that repeat guests talk about most: the freedom to say 'let's stay five more minutes' and actually have the crew honor that without 15 other people sighing behind you.Oahu is where most Hawaiian vacations begin — and for good reason. As the home of Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, and Pearl Harbor, this island packs an incredible amount of diversity into 597 square miles. In a single day, you can watch the sunrise from Diamond Head, snorkel with sea turtles at Turtle Canyon, pay your respects at the USS Arizona Memorial, shave ice at Matsumoto’s on the North Shore, and watch the sunset from a catamaran off Waikiki. And we can help you do all of it for less.
Cheap Hawaiian offers discounted tickets and tours for every type of Oahu experience. Whether you’re a first-time visitor looking for a guided circle island tour or a returning traveler ready to try something new — helicopter skydiving, anyone? — our team has been helping travelers explore Oahu for over a decade, and we know this island inside and out.
Pearl Harbor Tours are the most historically significant experience in all of Hawaii. The USS Arizona Memorial, Battleship Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum, and USS Bowfin Submarine are all located within the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. We offer half-day, full-day, and combo tours that include Waikiki hotel pickup, expert historical narration, and skip-the-line access where available. For visitors staying on other islands, we even offer day trip packages from Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai that include round-trip flights and guided ground transportation.
Oahu Snorkelling Tours take you to some of the clearest waters in the Pacific. Turtle Canyon is the most popular destination — we offer catamaran cruises that include snorkel gear, lunch, and an open bar, with guaranteed turtle sightings. For a more adventurous experience, our West Oahu dolphin and turtle snorkel sails explore the less-touristy Waianae Coast, where spinner dolphins are frequently spotted. Self-guided snorkel rentals at Sharks Cove and Hanauma Bay are also available for budget-conscious visitors.
Oahu Luaus range from intimate beachside gatherings to grand Polynesian dinner spectacles. Our most popular options include the Paina Waikiki Luau (right on the beach in Waikiki), the Mauka Warriors Luau (a unique mountain setting), and the Aloha Kai Luau. We offer multiple seating tiers — from classic rear seating to royal front-row VIP packages — and can arrange luau transportation shuttles from any Waikiki hotel.
Oahu Circle Island Tours are the best way to see the entire island in one day. Our guided bus tours visit up to 21 locations including Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay lookout, the Halona Blowhole, Makapuu Point, the windward coast, Kualoa Ranch area, the North Shore surf beaches, Dole Plantation, and the Byodo-In Temple. Available in half-day (6-hour), full-day (9-hour), and extended (12-hour) options, with Waikiki hotel pickup included.
Oahu Helicopter Tours give you a perspective of the island that no ground tour can match. Soar over the lush Ko’olau mountains, Sacred Falls, the North Shore surf break, and Diamond Head crater. We offer 30-minute to 60-minute flights, doors-on and doors-off options, and combo packages that pair helicopter tours with Pearl Harbor visits or Big Island volcano day trips.
Oahu Surfing & Water Sports put you in the water on the very beaches where the sport was born. Our certified instructors offer surfing lessons, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, and bodyboarding in Waikiki’s gentle waves — perfect for beginners. Semi-private and private lesson options are available, many with GoPro video packages so you can relive the experience.
Oahu Kayaking & E-Bike Tours explore the island’s stunning windward side. Paddle to Popoia Island or the Mokulua Islands from Kailua Beach, kayak to the famous Kaneohe Bay sandbar, or explore the Kahana River rainforest. E-bike food tours through Kailua combine cycling, culture, and cuisine.
Oahu Boat Tours & Sunset Cruises range from BYOB sunset sails to deluxe whale watching excursions (seasonal, December through April), Friday night fireworks cruises, and private charters. Whether you want a romantic evening on the water or a family-friendly daytime adventure, we’ve got options at every price point.
Private & Custom Oahu Tours let you design your perfect day. Choose your own itinerary, travel in a luxury vehicle, and explore at your own pace with a dedicated local guide. Available in 6-hour, 9-hour, and 12-hour options, with themes including Pearl Harbor focus, North Shore focus, circle island, food tours, and more.
“If it’s your first time on Oahu, the circle island tour is the best single day you can spend — you’ll see the whole island and figure out which spots you want to come back to on your own. For Pearl Harbor, book early and go first thing in the morning. And don’t skip the North Shore, even if you’re not a surfer. The food trucks alone are worth the drive.” — Jeff Gitlin, Founder
