Private Oahu Honeymoon Tour: Romantic Island Highlights and Cultural Stops
A five-to-six-hour private minivan tour around Oahu designed for couples—flower leis, coastal lookouts, and cultural stops from Diamond Head to Iolani Palace. Expect curated moments, local history, and practical comforts like bottled water and hotel pickup.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Many coastal stops include marine areas—use reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and bring a hat for long exposure.
Wear comfortable shoes
Most stops require short walks or stairs; lightweight trail shoes or sneakers are ideal for lookouts and temple grounds.
Plan for extra pickup zones
If you're staying in Koʻolina or the North Shore expect a $140 vehicle surcharge for hotel pickup and drop-off.
Pack a light layer
Trade winds can chill exposed viewpoints, so a windbreaker or shawl keeps early-morning or late-afternoon stops comfortable.
