PICKUP POINTThis tour is a great way to see the island’s main sights without spending the whole day.
Your journey will start right at the doorsteps of your hotel or Airbnb, where our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle. You will be driving alongside one of the most picturesque coastlines in Hawaii. The tour guide will show you gorgeous beaches, expensive residential neighborhoods, coves, blowholes, and much more! During the winter months, you may also see whales.
The first stop will be at the Valley of the Temples, where you will enjoy the grounds of The Byodo-In Temple, a lushly landscaped paradise nestled in a cleft of the pali and a home to wild peacocks and hundreds of Japanese koi carp. After a nice walk, we will travel through the rural communities to Tropical Farms, where you can experience their world-famous Macadamia Nuts. Then we will take a great look at the Chinaman’s Hat, an iconic cone-shaped basalt islet located in Kaneohe Bay. If you feel hungry, we can stop for authentic Hawaiian comfort foods, which the area has much to offer. After that, we will continue until we reach the Nuuanu Pali Lookout with the island’s best views.
Finally, before we say goodbye, we will check out the Hawaii State Capitol, Iolani Palace, Aliiolani Hale, and Kawaiahao Church, constructed using approximately 14,000 half-ton slabs of coral rock quarried off the southern coast of Oahu.

Just got back from a one-week vacation on Oahu. By far my most favorite day was spent touring the island. I had Charles as my guide. He did a fantastic job of figuring out what I was interested in and taking to me to all these back doors, off the beaten path locations that only a local would know about.

Wonderful tour of Oahu. Our family of six hired UVT to take us on a fun tour of the island. We were picked up in a large luxury SUV, our tour host Marty was fantastic, very professional and knowledgeable. He’d stop if we wanted to stop or keep going if it didn’t interest us. Perfect day for all of us and we never felt rushed or pressured to do or see anything. Definitely recommend!
