Viator: Private Customizable Grand Circle Island Tour of Oahu

Nancy researched for a while to find a customizable this tour at a reasonable price to enjoy all the places we wanted to visit.

Nancy had sent her list to Viator tour operator. When our driver arrived he explained about Hawaii traffic. So we made a few changes to allow enough time for most of what was on her list.

Diamond Head Oahu, Hawaii

Going to Diamond Head would have required time and more walking and climbing the incline. So we opted for this photo.

Halona Blow Hole Oahu, Hawaii

Waimea Falls Park The trail to Waimea Falls is about 3/4 of a mile and takes about 30 minutes. It is paved the entire way, with gentle hills. See the grand variety of beautiful foliage and flowers in the botanical gardens along the way. We walked up and took the tram back in order to save our feet.

Dole Plantation Oahu, Hawaii

Dole Plantation has several activities: Pineapple Express Train Tour, Plantation Garden Tour, & the Pineapple Garden Maze. We were short on time with dinner reservations so we rode the train and tasted some Dole Soft-Serve.

Nancy arranged with the driver to be taken to Kani Ka Pila Grille restaurant inside Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort for our dinner reservation for our last stop of the day for our Grand Circle Island Tour of Oahu.
