Oahu offers so many fun activities and delicious food from all over the world!  Why not combine the two?  Our favorite tours involve doing the things that we would be doing on our days off.  Choose to hike, snorkel, surf, or all three in one day.  Next, grind (this means eat great food here in Hawaii)!  We know the spots, the hidden gems, the hole in the walls where you can find real, local experiences and food without the Waikiki prices.  Everything is totally flexible here at HI Private Tours.  We will take you to do whatever you like, but what we recommend is to get outside and take in the nature.  Then, go grind!  Rinse, and repeat.  

Chinese New Year 2018 is coming up in early February!  It's the year of the dog.  Festivities begin at 5pm on February 9th at the Chinese Cultural Plaza.  Things will be winding down around 10pm on Beratania St.  Saturday activities begin at 10 am and go until  10pm.

Kaimuki has long been an interesting and bustling part of Honolulu that is just a stone's throw from Waikiki.  It is often overlooked by visitors to Oahu, but lately, Kaimuki has been getting its due credit as one of the best districts to explore on foot, bus or bike.  

​CNN recently published a great article about the trendy new Kaimuki shire.  Check it out below!

Oahu is home to a very diverse and unique culture.  Hawaii has long been a melting pot rich in its history and customs.  This is certainly reflected in our food scene.  Visitors to Honolulu can choose from almost any cuisine one can imagine.  But all in one place?  That’s where our Farmer’s Markets come in.  Farmer’s Markets come together daily in different areas around the island, offering fresh produce, coffee, honey, juices, and a wide variety of street food.  Hawaii’s largest Farmer’s Market happens every Saturday at the Kapiolani Community College from 7:30am-11am.
