Your Day, Island to Island

From Kona, Oahu is a short hop across the channel and a whole different world. This island hopping day trip wraps your round-trip airfare into one guided loop of Oahu's most meaningful and most photogenic places, so you can see the best of a second island and still sleep in your own bed on the Big Island.

A local guide meets you at the Honolulu airport and hosts the day from an air-conditioned vehicle. Between the memorials of Pearl Harbor, the pineapple fields of Dole Plantation, the famous surf of the North Shore, and the six Pacific villages of the Polynesian Cultural Center, it is the simplest way to turn one Hawaiian island into two in a single day.
