Hawaii Tours FAQ

The ideal stay on Oahu can vary, but a common recommendation is about 5 to 7 days. This allows you to explore the island’s major attractions, enjoy some beach time, and get a taste of its unique culture. Of course, the more time you have, the more you can discover!

Oahu is beautiful year-round, but the best time to visit for great weather and fewer crowds is typically from mid-April to early June and September to mid-December. These are the shoulder seasons, providing a more relaxed and pleasant experience.

It takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours to drive around the entire island if you’re taking the scenic route without many stops. However, exploring the island thoroughly with stops at various attractions will take a full day or more. For reference, our Circle Island Tour lasts around 9 hours.

Guided tours offer you the expertise of local guides who can provide insights, take you to the best spots, and ensure you make the most of your visit. Whether it’s a historical tour, a hiking adventure, or a cultural exploration, guided tours can make your Oahu experience truly memorable.

Among the multitude of tours available on Oahu, the two most iconic and highly sought-after experiences are the Circle Island Tours and Pearl Harbor Tours. These tours have consistently garnered immense popularity among visitors, offering distinct and compelling attractions that captivate the hearts of tourists from around the world.

While several transportation options are available, guided bus tours stand out as the most comfortable and economical means of experiencing all that Hawaii has to offer. Guided bus tours provide an unbeatable combination of comfort, convenience, and affordability. They offer travelers a stress-free and leisurely way to explore Hawaii’s most famous attractions and hidden gems.

For your first visit to Hawaii, Oahu is an ideal choice due to its well-developed infrastructure, making it easy to explore the island. Oahu offers a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury resorts to budget-friendly choices, and is equipped with modern amenities. You can enjoy diverse activities, from relaxing on famous beaches like Waikiki to exploring cultural sites like Pearl Harbor. The island’s culinary scene and cultural experiences are rich and varied, providing a well-rounded introduction to Hawaii’s offerings. Whether you’re interested in relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, Oahu has something to offer every traveler.

Hawaii’s weather is characterized by a tropical climate, offering warm temperatures year-round. Coastal areas typically experience temperatures in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit (20s to 30s Celsius) during the day, with relatively mild fluctuations between seasons. Trade winds provide a pleasant breeze, especially in the summer. While Hawaii does have wet and dry seasons, rain showers are common but brief, with the wetter season occurring from November to March. The leeward (west) sides of the islands tend to be drier, while the windward (east) sides receive more rainfall. Overall, Hawaii offers pleasant weather for outdoor activities and beach visits throughout the year.

Choosing the best Hawaiian island to visit depends on your preferences. Oahu is great for first-timers, offering a mix of culture, activities, and infrastructure. Maui is known for its natural beauty, including the Road to Hana and Haleakalā. The Big Island (Hawaii) is perfect for adventure seekers with its volcanoes and diverse landscapes. Kauai is a haven for nature lovers, famous for its lush, pristine scenery. Molokai and Lanai are quieter and less touristy, ideal for a more relaxed experience.

Visiting Honolulu Oahu FAQs

Honolulu is the name of a city, and Oahu is the name of the island on which Honolulu is located. The  airport  is located in Honolulu, so all flights to Oahu land in Honolulu. You’ll find most Oahu excursions in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The best time to see whales in Hawaii is from  December  to  May or during the winter months. That’s when the whale migration passes through the islands. You’ll definitely want to book your Oahu whale-watching tour ahead of time, as they tend to sell out quickly.

Honolulu is pretty fun year-round; however, there are usually fewer crowds (and better travel deals) if you go from mid-April  to  June  or  September  to mid-December. Even though this is the shoulder season, there are still tons of things to do in Honolulu for all types of travelers. That’s why I think it’s the best time to go to Honolulu.

It is best to spend at least 3 to 5 days in Oahu in total. You can take one or two day trips from Honolulu to experience the North Shore and other areas of the island that you want. Otherwise, you can enjoy all the Honolulu sightseeing and Hawaii excursions Honolulu offers!

Yes, you can find a hop-on, hop-off Honolulu tour . These Honolulu hop-on, hop-off bus tours take you all over the island and are a fantastic experience if you want to explore all the hidden gems in Oahu!

While you can walk around in Honolulu to explore and go sightseeing at the top sights in the area, you will probably want to go on either the Honolulu or Waikiki excursions conveniently located and offered right in town.

Best Places to stay in Honolulu

Now that you know some of the best Honolulu Hawaii tours to book before your trip, let’s talk about some of my favorite places to stay in Honolulu.

If you’re looking for a Waikiki hotel with a party vibe, you’ll want to book the  Alohilani Hotel . It’s right across from Waikiki Beach, and it has an awesome infinity pool where you can get the ultimate Instagram shot!  Read my full Alohilani Resort review  HERE .

For families heading to Honolulu with kids, it doesn’t get much better than the  Hilton Hawaiian Village . There are tons of shops, restaurants, and activities on the premises, and you won’t even need to rent a car.  Read my full Hilton Hawaiian Village review  HERE .

And for people who don’t want to be in the heart of Waikiki, try the  Ala Moana Hotel . It’s right next to Ala Moana Center (the largest outdoor shopping mall in the world).

~ Donna Fitzgerald

This was my family’s first visit to Oahu, we decided to not rent a car. That turned out to be the least of our worries once we stumbled upon Circle Island Tour.

Our tour guide, Bonjovy, a Hawaiian native – full of energy, enthusiastic and showed us how to enjoy the island like a local. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel, we knew we were in for an adventure.

He took us everywhere – from the famous Diamond Head Crater to the chill vibes of Waikiki Beach – and he made every stop feel like a mini adventure. Best part is you don’t have to stress about driving. Nope, we just kicked back, relaxed, and let Bonjovy do the navigating. And let me tell you, it was the best decision ever.

We had friends book us on this island tour & it was amazing!! Not one bad thing to say & our driver & tour guide (Wes) was not only a great driver, he was also very funny & extremely knowledgeable on the island history. This tour stopped at so many great locations that included Kualoa Ranch, where we were treated to an excellent buffet style lunch after our tour of the ranch, as well as we stopped at a Macadamia farm, the Dole plantation & several amazing lookout points. Along our stops we were lucky enough to see 2 whales & even some sea turtles.

Roberts Hawaii is the tour company I used to set up my time on the Big Island. EVERYONE I dealt with from the Honolulu airport, to the Hilo airport, to the cars and tour guides…they were ALL exceptional!!!! Most of my readers know I do NOT use any guide without checking with TA first and this group came highly recommended and I’ll vouch for that authenticity!!! Knowledgeable, nice, and fun and boy did I get my money’s worth with this trip to the Big Island!!! Thanks to all of you on the Roberts Hawaii Team!!!! You were the best!!!

Our driver Fred was bang on time at the pick up, he is extremely knowledgeable with regards to the island history and Polynesian culture and relays all this throughout the day. The coach was very comfortable and during the tour there are plenty of stops to stretch your legs. Pretty much everything was covered during our tour, and the highlights for me were the Macadamia nut farm and the Dole Pineapple plantation.

Everything you need in an airport shuttle, prompt, attentive, driver safe and calm, helped with my luggage and most importantly got me to the airport on time. Easy to book online (although i did have to alter my departure time as i prefer to be at the airport with plenty of time). Not the cheapest but definitely not expensive, and i prefer to pay for reliability. Thanks for minimising the stress levels.

We booked two shore tours with Roberts Hawaii when cruising around the islands; a day trip including Pearl Harbour in Honolulu and Historic Kona on the big island. We highly recommend them! The website booking process was very easy to use and the transaction very smooth, with an email confirmation and reminder the day before. Once on shore, the tour representatives were easy to identify and friendly. The tour buses were clean and air conditioned. The drivers were friendly, approachable and knowledgeable with a pleasant dialogue on the tour. Mahalo John and Chuck! We enjoyed our time with you.

Our Hawaiian package included airport to hotel and hotel to airport shuttle service. This company was perfect both ways. Once we got our luggage from baggage claim we didn't have to touch it again until we got to our room. The driver and his assistants were so very nice. We got a lot of the local flavor on our ride. The driver on the return trip was just as helpful. He was punctual which put our minds at ease. Great company.

‘It Smells Like Earth’: Honolulu Shows Off Its Alternatives To Landfills

An end-of-year deadline looms for Honolulu officials to name a location for a new municipal landfill. Meanwhile, the city is working to divert waste from needing to go to the disposal site in the first place.

Those efforts were on display during the recent Tour de Trash for members of the public who want to see where their trash ends up.

Most trash on Oahu is sent to the city’s waste-to-energy facility, H-Power, which incinerates it and uses the steam to power a generator that supplies up to 10% of the island’s electricity.

But workers touted initiatives like a new project for handling food waste, which is expected to slash the amount of waste going to H-Power, and the recycling of ash that H-Power generates.

More than 30 people who had signed up for the tour late last month were shuttled by bus for about six hours between the city’s green waste site, its recycling site, its waste-to-energy site and its landfill. 

“Our primary function is to get stuff out of the landfill,” said Pieter Mathews, a consultant for H-Power.

The tour’s first stop was Hawaiian Earth Recycling in Wahiawa . From the front of the bus, senior vice president Marvin Min explained how green waste like grass trimmings, leaves and branches is broken down by his team and an array of big machines.

They sort out plastic and metal from the green waste, grind it into mulch, stack it in piles the shape of triangular prisms called windrows , overturn the windrows so that airflow fuels decomposition and months later grind the windrows into new piles of dark and damp dirt.

“I’m not going to say it smells delicious, but it smells like earth,” Min said. Another employee returned with a sample for attendees to scent.

The plan is to add food waste to the mix, making the final product better for farming and reducing the amount of food waste that goes to H-Power.

Min’s company will build a large facility that will bring the process indoors, per standards from the state Department of Health, he said. In April, the city awarded Hawaiian Earth a contract to process green waste and food waste that lasts until 2045.

For now, food waste encapsulates about 20% of the city’s overall waste production, city recycling program chief Henry Gabriel said. That all goes to H-Power – along with almost everything else that can’t be recycled or composted, like plastic bags, mattresses and furniture. About 90% of trash that would otherwise go to the landfill goes to H-Power instead.

H-Power, the tour’s third stop after watching workers at city contractor RRR Recycling sort recyclable cardboard, plastic, glass and paper for sale to off-island processors, supplies about 10% of the island’s electricity. It generates this electricity by burning trash, and the goal is to make the trash burn evenly.

Monitors in the plant display how even these burns are, and a worker operating a gigantic crane moves the trash where it needs to go. On a drizzly day, less energy can be extracted than normal from the damp trash.

One recent challenge is that fires start about twice per day from stray lithium ion batteries, which are supposed to go to city convenience centers or transfer stations rather than into the normal waste stream. H-Power has fire hoses and extinguishers all around because of the danger these fires could cause.

“You’re in a building technically full of fuel,” Mathews said.

Attendees on the tour – which involved checking in at Kapolei Hale by 7:30 a.m. to bus between different garbage sites for hours – said that they signed up out of a desire to understand the city’s waste processing system. 

Dana Miller, who works in advocacy at Patagonia Honolulu, said she and her three employees joined so they could better understand where their store’s waste goes. 

Carlos Navarro, who was interested to learn how much of H-Power’s infrastructure is dedicated to cleaning its own air emissions, said that he heard about the tour while attending FestPAC a couple months ago.

Raymond Trinh, who teaches agriculture at Pearl City High School and is the sustainability coordinator at Waimea Valley, Hiʻipaka LLC, said that his boss at Waimea Valley told him about the tour.

Trinh got into composting by trying to sell worm bins to gardeners. Worms multiply quickly, he said, which he thought would be good business. But he decided to keep the worms for his own garden space, which got him interested in sustainable food systems. 

He worries about how easy it is to throw away waste without caring where it goes. 

“We just don’t manage our own things anymore, you know? We just give them to other people and lack awareness of what happens to it,” he said.

Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill, the last stop for much of Oahu’s trash, was also the last leg of the tour. It takes everything else that isn’t recycled, composted or burned, as well as ash from H-Power. About 80% of its intake is ash, Gabriel said. 

The landfill’s waste is buried under the surface of a mountainside that climbs high above Ko Olina and Nanakuli. Landfill manager Tina Alder said that the waste at the bottom, now covered by two protective layers and dry grass, is from the early 1990s when the landfill opened. The waste at the top, near the back of the property, arrived more recently. 

Soon, the city will need a new landfill, and time is running out to pick a location. It has been almost two years since the mayor requested a two-year extension for naming the city’s new landfill location, which was scheduled to be announced by the end of December 2022.

Finding a new location has been hard . Discussions are ongoing, and Gabriel said his team has an idea of where to put the new landfill but declined to elaborate.

City deputy communications director Ian Scheuring said there were no updates.

The city’s permit for the current site expires in 2028, and though capacity is projected to remain until the mid-2030s, the impending closure of a nearby private landfill for industrial waste means that timeline will shrink as Waimanalo Gulch is saddled with more trash. 

One long-term solution is to stop waste from entering the landfill in the first place. 

A dedicated stream for food waste, expanding recycling eligibility and promoting deconstruction rather than demolition are some of the ways that the city is thinking about accomplishing this. 

But these steps will take years to implement and in the meantime, city energy recovery administrator Ahmad Sadri said, the waste keeps rolling in.

“Trash never sleeps,” he said.
