Stop At: Diamond Head State Monument, 18th Ave. Waikiki, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815

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.

Stop At: Halona Blowhole, Kalanian'ole Highway, Oahu, HI 96825

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.

Duration: 20 minutes

This location is known for its dramatic landscape filmed in a number of Hollywood movies; most notably and fan favorite Jurassic Park.

Bon Jovi rocks! He's a really interesting guy with great stories. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. Definitely not like other tours we've taken before.

Better than expected. Much local information from the tour guide Charlie who is native to Oahu. Get him if possible, you will not be disappointed. Related: I purchased a go city pass and was able to use it to pay for this tour.
