Explore Oahu's Beaches and Volcanoes If you have more than one day and you like to do the activities as well as enjoying sightseeing, this is a great route to follow that can be completed in as little as half a day - but you can easily fill a full day too. This route starts by driving from Waikiki to Diamond Head (reservations now required). It then explores the south eastern corner of the island, places like Hanauma Bay (reservations now required), Halona Blowhole and Kailua before you have the option to cut back across the island to Waikiki, via the Pali Lookout.

It was a great time! We got lucky and there was only 6 of us on the boat, plus the captain and the other two workers. We got to see pilot whales and snorkel. Unfortunately no dolphins, but that happens.

Polynesian cultural center is a "Must Do!" Be entertained by natives of the different islands, the 15 minute movie of the Beauty of Hawaii, the Buffet and the "HA" show, It's Awesome!!!

Ethan and Jordan were the best. Great instruction, and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

I saved extra dollars by buying Go City Pass I recommend and do it again thanks!

It was a great experience and staff was knowledgeable and friendly
