Hawaii Tours by Region

Hawaii is a paradise of pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and volcanic wonders. On a tour of Hawaii, you can experience everything from the vibrant energy of Oahu to the serene beauty of Kauai. The islands are so stunning that Jurassic Park (1993), Waterworld (1995), Pirates of the Caribbean (2007), and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) all featured Hawaii's landscapes as iconic backdrops. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, book a tour to Hawaii and discover the magic of the islands.

Oahu

Oahu, home to Hawaii’s capital, Honolulu, is a dynamic mix of history, culture, and stunning landscapes. On a tour of Oahu, visit the historic Pearl Harbor, hike up Diamond Head for panoramic views, and relax on the famous shores of Waikiki Beach. Explore the island’s North Shore, renowned for legendary surf spots, and immerse yourself in Polynesian traditions at the Polynesian Cultural Center. 

Maui

Known as the “Valley Isle,” Maui offers breathtaking scenery and unforgettable experiences. Book a tour to Maui and take the legendary Road to Hana, where you’ll pass waterfalls, black sand beaches, and lush rainforests. Movie buff? Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) filmed scenes along the island’s rugged coastline. Experience a sunrise or sunset at Haleakalā National Park, home to one of the world’s largest dormant volcanoes. In winter, Maui is a prime destination for whale watching, and year-round, you can explore the charming town of Lahaina or relax on some of Hawaii’s most beautiful beaches.

Big Island (Hawai’i Island)

The Big Island is a land of dramatic contrasts, from active volcanoes to snow-capped peaks. On a tour of the Big Island, visit Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, where you can witness lava flows and explore volcanic craters. Venture north to discover Kohala’s beauty and history on a fun, off-road adventure, and relax on a trail walk to a hidden waterfall and scenic overlook of Pololu Valley. Or, discover what’s beneath these gorgeous waters with a snorkeling trip in the pristine Puʻuhonua O Honaunau and Kealakekua Bay, featuring lava tubes and sea caves. The island’s diverse ecosystems range from lush rainforests to barren lava fields, making it one of Hawaii’s most unique destinations.

Kauai

Nicknamed the “Garden Isle,” Kauai is a haven of natural beauty. Book a tour to Kauai and marvel at the breathtaking Nā Pali Coast, where jagged cliffs rise dramatically from the ocean. Hike through the Waimea Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” capture the moment at Spouting Horn blowhole (one of the most photographed spots on Kauai), and relax on secluded beaches surrounded by lush greenery. Kauai’s untouched landscapes and serene atmosphere make it a perfect getaway for nature lovers.
