The Experience
Before You Go
Book Waikiki pickup to avoid surcharges
Free pickup is included for Waikiki hotels; pickups from Koʻolina, the North Shore or Honolulu Harbor carry significant fees—confirm your pickup point when booking.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen and a hat
You’ll be stopping at beaches and lookouts—reef‑safe sunscreen protects both your skin and coral ecosystems.
Time your visit for wildlife
Whale season runs roughly December–April for sightings; calmer snorkeling conditions are more common in summer months.
Expect short walks and sand access
Most stops are short strolls from the vehicle—wear sturdy sandals or closed-toe shoes for uneven beach approaches and lava rock paths.

Conservation Note
Use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching or crowding turtles, and follow guides’ instructions at tidepools and protected shorelines to minimize impact.
Oahu’s coastal features include military-era bunkers and lookout points tied to early 20th-century coastal defense; Honolulu’s Iolani Palace is the only royal palace on U.S. soil and speaks to the islands' monarchical past.
