Premium Small-Group Oahu Circle Island Tour: Pali Wind Bath
Description
During December and January, this tour begins with a sunrise viewing from a beautiful, hand-picked location, timed so you actually get to watch the sun come up over Oahu. It’s a peaceful and memorable start to the day, and a unique seasonal experience you won’t find on most tours. After sunrise, we explore Oahu’s top highlights with a focus on comfort, culture, and connection. Our groups are intentionally small so you can ask questions, share stories, and get to know your guide and fellow travelers. You’ll feel like a welcomed guest, not part of a crowd. At The Pineapple EXP, we believe quality matters. We might not be the biggest company on the island, but we work hard to make every guest feel cared for. If you’re visiting in winter and want a Circle Island experience with great views, good company, and genuine hospitality, this is the tour for you.

Itinerary
Have you ever thought you would be driving on the exact same road that Amelia Earhart used as her runway in 1935? Well, that is our FIRST stop! Diamondhead lookout is an amazing location that offers panoramic views of the southern shore of Oahu and Waikiki!
Sometimes it is good to dream and day dreaming is what most of us will be doing as we pass by the luxurious neighborhood of Kahala wherein the Sony Open is played every year. The estates here will have most of us rethinking our life choices.
Halona Blowhole. Halona means “Of Happy Fortune” this amazing sight is one of just three in the world! And what happy fortune we have to be able to show it to YOU!
Cruzen over to Makapu’u Lookout we will be passing by the most sought out bodysurfing beach on the island-even by presidents; Sandy Beach! Don’t let the smaller waves fool you, that water is ruff!
Some call this place “The Dragon” These cliffs whereupon The Dragon lay will loosen the jaw in awe! I’m sure your tour guide will be more than happy to explain way! Well, SHOW you why! It’s an amazing site! Unfortunately this place is closed to commercial vehicles. However, you can still see The Dragon!
Experience Hawaiʻi’s natural “wind bath” at Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout, where powerful trade winds, towering cliffs, and panoramic Windward Coast views create one of Oʻahu’s most unforgettable stops.
Are you hungry yet? Well, you will be. And what better place to get lunch than the North Shores’ Fumis shrimp truck! These generously sized shrimp has taste you will call home about. If you are not a shrimp eater it’s completely okay; there are other options. Including a very inviting Vegetarian noodle plate that might have you driving to the north shore for more the next day!
Now, let us get those swimsuits on! If you don’t want to swim or snorkel it is completely fine; there is plenty enough shade to stretch, relax and read that favorite book! Don’t forget; the snorkel gear is FREE to rent!
Cliff walking anyone? of course it is completely up to you; you can always stay on the safe side of the railing and still get to see an amazing view. Makapu’u Lookouts’ amazing cliffs make a feast for your eyes. Not only because it means “bulging eye” in Hawaiian, either.
The very first place a foreigner landed in Hawaii was here in the 1700's! That was Capitan Cook and his crew. Waimea Bay is beyond majestic. From the beautiful, rainforest kissed cliffs that surround it to the proud protruding rock in the center. You will see nothing but beauty.
The original Hawaiian name for this place is Paumalū. Sunset Beach is known for big wave surfing during the winter season and I mean BIG. Keep your eyes open, you may see some surfers on the tops of the waves!
Let us time travel back to the 1800’s. Back to a little place now called Historic Haleiwa Town. Matsumoto’s Shave Ice isn’t the only thing cool about this place! Just wait and see!
Our last location is sweet to say the least; The Dole Plantation. Home of the world famous, oh yes, DOLE WHIP. Ask your Guide how you can win a FREE one!
Food and beach usually equates to a long nap but not yet! We are headed to the North Shore Macadamia Nut Farm! And yes, there are FREE samples of both macadamia nuts AND coffee!

Had a great time all around the island with PE as our lovely driver! She is very knowledgeable and great at trying to avoid crowds and knows all the back roads. Tour is around 8 hours and would recommend doing it at the very beginning of your stay on O’ahu. Great for seeing where you want to spend more time on the island.
Guide was great most stops were interesting and on time meal was good
It’s an early start but well worth it, just the right number of stops for photos and food along with some great sights and stories. If you get Tyrone for the a tour guide (pineapple experience) then you are in for a treat. Would highly recommend.
This was a great tour. It give us a great opportunity to see parts of the entire island in a small group setting. I highly recommend it . Leonani was our guide and she was WONDERFUL! She was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained during the trip. She answered any questions we had and give many fun facts about the area. I would take this tour again and request her.
A great day out. We packed a lot in and our guide was fabulous.
The tour was amazing and our guide, Tyrone was hospitable, funny, and knowledgeable about the island.
This was a great experience all around! Tyrone was the best tour guide I’ve had in Hawaii. He was personable, funny, and knowledgeable. He made the excursion so fun!
Our tour guide Tyrone was great! It allowed to see additional sites to visit, unique places to eat, and cultural spots.
Tytonne was very informative, friendly, great sense of humor, safe driver, attentive and accommodating. Thank you Tyronne for a wonderful tour.
Provided lots of good knowledge. Plenty of time at all the places. I would have liked more time at North Shore. Time for both beach and shopping
