Kapiʻolani Park is Honolulu’s largest and oldest public park, originally gifted by King Kalākaua in 1877 and named after his wife, Queen Kapiʻolani. As we drive by, you'll see its lush greenery, towering banyan trees, and open fields, all set against the stunning backdrop of Diamond Head, a volcanic crater known as Lēʻahi in Hawaiian. Once a gathering place for Hawaiian royalty, the park remains a cherished spot for locals and visitors alike.

The Waikīkī Aquarium, founded in 1904, is one of the oldest aquariums in the U.S. and sits along the shores of Kapiʻolani Park. As we drive by, you'll see this historic marine research center, home to vibrant coral reefs, Hawaiian monk seals, and tropical fish, continuing its mission of ocean conservation and education.
Stop 4
The first lookout we visit is an elevated view perched on the eastern side of Waikiki’s famous Diamond Head Volcano. This lookout grants us a great opportunity for pictures of the south eastern coastline of Oahu, with notable sights as far as Hanauma bay and Maui on a clear day. The location is more formally known as Amelia Earhart Lookout, known for where bystanders gathered to watch Earhart make her first solo aviation journey from Hawaii to North America.

Koko Head is a striking volcanic crater known for its rugged ridgeline and famous hiking trail. As we drive by, you'll see its towering peak rising above the eastern coastline, a breathtaking sight showcasing Oahu’s dramatic volcanic landscape.

Hanauma Bay is a stunning marine sanctuary known for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs. As we drive by, you'll catch a breathtaking view of this crescent-shaped bay, a protected paradise that showcases Oahu’s natural beauty.
Stop 7
Halona Blowhole Molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions that occurred from Oahu’s Koko Head crater formed the natural occurrence known as the Halona Blowhole. This lava tube extends into the ocean with a very narrow opening at the top, and when the surf is just right, water pressure builds up within the lava tube and erupts through the narrow opening creating a special Hawaiian Geyser for your viewing pleasure.
Stop 8
Eternity Beach, officially known as Halona Cove, is a secluded, picturesque spot framed by rugged lava cliffs. As we drive by, you'll see this famous filming location, best known for the iconic kiss scene in From Here to Eternity. Its golden sand and turquoise waters make it one of Oahu’s most scenic hidden gems.
Stop 9
Sandy Beach is a stunning stretch of golden sand known for its powerful shore break and bodysurfing waves. As we drive by, you'll see its dramatic coastline, where the ocean crashes onto the shore, making it a favorite spot for experienced surfers and thrill-seekers.
Stop 10
Makapu’u Point Witness Waimanalo’s dramatic sea cliffs as we turn into Oahu’s windward side as we begin our journey to the North Shore of Oahu. Look off into the azure blue waters of the bay and you will see Oahu’s famous Manana Island also known as Rabbit island due to its Rabbit like shape.
Stop 11
Waimānalo Beach is a hidden gem with powdery white sand and turquoise waters, stretching along Oahu’s windward coast. As we drive by, you'll see its breathtaking shoreline framed by lush mountains, a peaceful contrast to the island’s busier beaches.
Stop 12
Nestled along the majestic cliffs of the Ko’olau Mountains on Oahu, the Pali Lookout presents travelers with awe-inspiring vistas of the island’s windward coast.
