Frequent questions

About custom island tours on Oahu

Got questions about stop durations, what’s included in the flat-rate pricing, or which length works best for your family? We’ve got all the answers to make planning your Circle Island Tour easy, stress-free, and fun.

Custom Circle Island Tours offers a flexible and personalized experience to fit your family’s unique preferences. You can choose your tour length, customize your route, and request specific locations, whether you’re looking to match other popular tours or explore new spots.

From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, this tour allows you to experience the best of Oahu at your own pace, ensuring a relaxed, enjoyable adventure that showcases the island’s natural beauty and vibrant culture.

Not the entire island. No real roads around Kaena Point or through the Waianae Mountain Range exist. Which is why none of the other companies do it more easily. So generally speaking, the furthest you’ll find us out West is the Waianae Boat Harbor.

A Circle Island Tour is a fan favorite, offering plenty of fun stops and stunning views. However, covering both the North and South Shores takes a full day, and with traffic, it can feel even longer.

For families with young kids or those with back issues, it can be a lot. That’s why going private is ideal. We can adjust on the spot to ensure everyone stays comfortable.

A full-day trip is a must to experience both the North and South Shores. But if you’re just looking for a quick taste of one side, our Half-Day Mini Circle Island Tour is the perfect fit.
Since we cover most of the island, expect stops longer than 15 minutes. We typically budget about 90 minutes for hikes, swim breaks at Turtle Bay, or a relaxed lunch. If you’re in the mood for a bit of shopping, we can often fit in two stops instead. Have questions? Just reach out because we’re happy to help.
With a Circle Island Tour, you can pick the best spots. Oahu is packed with breathtaking lookouts, so be sure to have everything charged and ready to capture those incredible views.
Absolutely! One of the biggest perks of a private tour is the flexibility. You can adjust your plans as needed, though some changes may require a bit of notice. Just let us know as soon as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your requests.

Still have questions? Please get in touch with us so you and your family get the exact adventure you’re looking for.
