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.  

Memorial Day weekend kicks off the summer with festivities, parades, and of course, the Lantern Floating Ceremony.  Come catch the sunset on Monday, May 27th at Ala Moana Beach Park.  Located just outside Waikiki, this is an amazing, once a year experience.  It truly is a sight to see!

Prince Kuhio day is coming up Tuesday, March 26th.  This is a Hawaiian State Holiday and the festivities begin early.  The parade will begin at 9:30 AM and will go right down Kalakaua Ave on Waikiki Beach.  There will be vendors, music, food and more.  Learn all bout this dignified statesman who served in U.S. Congress and established some of the earliest measures to protect the Hawaiian people from the influence of colonialism.

If you are looking for a great shore excursion while at port in Honolulu, we got you covered.  We can do a Full Circle Island Tour and still have you back in time for departure.  See all of the major sites and attractions at your own pace. 

Or, take some time to hike, snorkel, who knows?  Maybe even a horse back ride or zip line tour.  The point is that anything is possible.  We can create an accurate timeline for the day so that you can maximize your time here without stressing about departure time.

​If you need to get from the Honolulu Cruise Terminal to Honolulu International Airport with way too much time to spare, as is often the case with travelers cruising  the Hawaiian Islands, we can make it a memorable day while at the same time providing airport transfer including luggage.  Please contact us at [email protected] to learn more about all of our shore excursion possibilities.  

 Every day is different at HI Private Tours!  Sometimes we hike, snorkel, sightsee... but sometimes we get a little more adventurous and throw in a zip line tour, horseback ride or even skydiving!  It's really all about you and your group.  We want to form lifetime memories here at HI Private Tours.  Why not try out a private tour of the North Shore of Oahu and end your day with a sunset skydive!  Whatever you wanna do, we want to make it happen!

We love to have parades here in Hawaii and one of our best is coming up March 24th.  There will be luaus, festivities, and more!  Mark your calendar.

Koko Head Crater Hike is on of the most popular hikes on Oahu.  1,000 steps to the top and the views are worth every step.  Get an early start for this one.  This is a hot, dry hike that is considered moderate difficulty.  Check out the links below!

Ka'au Crater Hike is one of the most challenging and rewarding hikes on Oahu.  All together, it takes about 8-10 hours to complete the 5 mile loop.  Hikers begin in the valley and hike up and around 3 waterfalls on their way to the crater ridge.  Take a dip in one of the natural pools before you get to the second half of the hike.  The ridge will take you all the way to the Ko'olau Summit Ridge briefly before bringing you back down into the valley.  An early start and a nice, clear weather forecast are required for this hike... along with a little grit.  This hike is not for the faint of heart and requires an above average fitness level.  Totally Epic!

Most of the car seat rental companies in Honolulu charge too much and try to force you into a multi-day rental.  At HI Private Tours, we can provide you with an affordable, one day car seat rental for your tour of Oahu.  We will show up on the day of the tour with a car seat secured and ready to go.  No hassle, no pressure.... 

We are currently running a promotion for the Holiday season.  If you book an 8 hour tour with us, you will receive a 9th hour for free!  This will allow you to do a private full circle island tour without having to rush for approximately the same price as a 50 passenger bus tour. This could also be applied to an airport pickup or an Aulani/Ko'Olina pick up whereas we normally charge one hour for these services.  So if you are a group of 6 or less, this is a $75 value.  If you are a group of 7-14, this is $90 value!  Please email us with inquiries and mention the Summer Promotional in your email at [email protected].
