The sights and stops were beautiful. Bring a jacket. Tyrone, our tour guide was fantastic! I highly recommend this tour.

Itinerary
Have you ever thought you would be driving on the exact same road that Amelia Earhart used as her runway in 1935? Well, that is our FIRST stop! Diamondhead lookout is an amazing location that offers panoramic views of the southern shore of Oahu and Waikiki!
Sometimes it is good to dream and day dreaming is what most of us will be doing as we pass by the luxurious neighborhood of Kahala wherein the Sony Open is played every year. The estates here will have most of us rethinking our life choices.
Halona Blowhole. Halona means “Of Happy Fortune” this amazing sight is one of just three in the world! And what happy fortune we have to be able to show it to YOU!
Cruzen over to Makapu’u Lookout we will be passing by the most sought out bodysurfing beach on the island-even by presidents; Sandy Beach! Don’t let the smaller waves fool you, that water is ruff!
Some call this place “The Dragon” These cliffs whereupon The Dragon lay will loosen the jaw in awe! I’m sure your tour guide will be more than happy to explain way! Well, SHOW you why! It’s an amazing site! Unfortunately this place is closed to commercial vehicles. However, you can still see The Dragon!
Experience Hawaiʻi’s natural “wind bath” at Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout, where powerful trade winds, towering cliffs, and panoramic Windward Coast views create one of Oʻahu’s most unforgettable stops.
Are you hungry yet? Well, you will be. And what better place to get lunch than the North Shores’ Fumis shrimp truck! These generously sized shrimp has taste you will call home about. If you are not a shrimp eater it’s completely okay; there are other options. Including a very inviting Vegetarian noodle plate that might have you driving to the north shore for more the next day!
Now, let us get those swimsuits on! If you don’t want to swim or snorkel it is completely fine; there is plenty enough shade to stretch, relax and read that favorite book! Don’t forget; the snorkel gear is FREE to rent!
Cliff walking anyone? of course it is completely up to you; you can always stay on the safe side of the railing and still get to see an amazing view. Makapu’u Lookouts’ amazing cliffs make a feast for your eyes. Not only because it means “bulging eye” in Hawaiian, either.
The very first place a foreigner landed in Hawaii was here in the 1700's! That was Capitan Cook and his crew. Waimea Bay is beyond majestic. From the beautiful, rainforest kissed cliffs that surround it to the proud protruding rock in the center. You will see nothing but beauty.
The original Hawaiian name for this place is Paumalū. Sunset Beach is known for big wave surfing during the winter season and I mean BIG. Keep your eyes open, you may see some surfers on the tops of the waves!
Let us time travel back to the 1800’s. Back to a little place now called Historic Haleiwa Town. Matsumoto’s Shave Ice isn’t the only thing cool about this place! Just wait and see!
Our last location is sweet to say the least; The Dole Plantation. Home of the world famous, oh yes, DOLE WHIP. Ask your Guide how you can win a FREE one!
Food and beach usually equates to a long nap but not yet! We are headed to the North Shore Macadamia Nut Farm! And yes, there are FREE samples of both macadamia nuts AND coffee!

It was amazing. Tyrone was great and very knowledgeable. We got to see so many different things and made some great stops!
Awesome tour around the island of Oahu, our local guide Leonani was friendly and really made the experience, we enjoyed the yummy kai (food) at Tanaka Shrimp in Kahuku.
We enjoyed this tour. It’s a great way to see the island. Our driver,Tyrone, was fantastic with a wonderful sense of humor.
What an amazing tour, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a full day seeing Oahu! I went as a solo traveler and I felt safe and comfortable during my time with the group. My guide, Tyrone, was the best guide anyone could ask for. He was knowledgable, personable, and an overall great person to be around; if you get him as your guide, just know you’re in for a fun time! The hotel pickup was another great aspect to this tour as you have the convenience of being picked up and dropped off at your hotel rather than having to go to a meeting point. If you’re looking for a smaller group that offers you a more exclusive tour, look no further and book this tour ASAP!
Definitely a good bang for your buck. You get to see a lot of attractive lookout points and areas!!!
Great tour of the island, went to and saw many highlight spots on Oahu. Van was comfortable and AC worked well. Group was small 12 total and we were picked up at our hotel right on time. The biggest highlight of the tour was the guide Alaura. A funny and very friendly young lady; Hawaiian born and very knowledgeable of the island and its history. You may want to have water shoes if you plan to swim at the beach. The lunch, although not included was reasonably priced and was very tasty, several different types of shrimp from which to chose. Multiple shopping opportunities amongst the many stops. Many great photo opportunities. Great way to see the island in one all day tour.
Pick up was right on time and right at the hotel where we stayed. The van was comfortable and AC worked well. Small group just myself, wife, and ten others. The highlight of the tour was the guide Alaura a wonderful young lady; Hawaiian born and raised. She was very knowledgeable of the island of Oahu and its history which, she shared while traveling from stop to stop. The tour itself took us to many highlight locations on the island and was very immersive. Lunch although not included, was reasonably priced and was very good. Again the best part was the guide - get Alaura if you can.
We had a great time! PE was so knowledgeable. Loved her stories. I would highly recommend this Island overview.
Disappointed we only were able to ride to pick up additional passengers and then had to abort this trip on 9/1/2026. Other members joined that appeared to be ill and we did not want to risk spending the time in close quarters with them so we got off the tour. By the end of the week we had Influenza A and are still suffering from pneumonia nearly 3 weeks later. Reached out to tour operator and they would not refund any of our money and no offer of any other tour availability options. Disappointing to say the least. Had high hopes for this tour!
Nicki was a wealth of knowledge about the island, enthusiastic and very nice. Very pleasant day , so glad we did this circle tour for our first visit to Hawaii. Recommend highly.
Where to start? When Leonani first showed up for pickup, my wife and I chuckled at how young she was. To be honest we were a bit concerned. SHAME ON US! This young lady was incredible! While talking about the culture and lore of the island, she drove like a pro, would interrupt her own storytelling to point out various points of interest, and then without missing a beat… would start right back into the storytelling! She was knowledgeable about not just the history and culture but also current events. She never lost her smile, joy, or enthusiasm. Just an incredible guide! As a reference, the next day we did a tour to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. The guide, with a different company, was our age, 50-60, and mentioned similar things that Leonani had mentioned. The difference was clear. He did not sound confident and the information he gave lacked the lore/ culture we had just experienced. In fact, due to what we had learned the previous day, we helped our group learn even more. MAHALO to Pineapple Express and especially to Leonani for destroying our preconceived expectations! STRONGLY recommend this tour!!
Diffently must do. Plan and schedule early on your vacation. We planned our the day after our arrival on Oaho.
I have to say this was one of the best tours I've ever done! From the moment we were picked up until we were dropped off, we saw so many places and had a blast with the driver/owner, Tyrone. Tyrone was fun, entertaining and very knowledgeable of the island. The small group also made this tour amazing. Our group was friendly and we enjoyed ourselves as if we were all family. Highly recommend this tour !
The Pros: Our guide Leio was awesome. She was energetic, friendly and fun. Pineapple Express should give her a raise. The Cons: The tour only passes by the most exciting stops and stops at stores. They want you to buy stuff from stores they have tie ups with. The tour stops at the macadamia nut store for 30 minutes, where there is literally nothing to do. Then we stopped at Dole plantation for only 20 minutes. There was so much to do there, but 20 minute stop is too short to do anything. Our intent of booking this tour was to see tourist attractions on Ohau that we couldn’t see without a driving license. But the tour guide only kept saying “You should go here, it’s really good” at all the actual exciting places that are on the “pass by” list.
Best experience ever,Piilani was so kind and she had everything on point, we had so much fun !!! I recommend everyone to have a tour with Piilani,she's Awesome!
My husband and I had a wonderful day with PE our tour guide. She was very informative and friendly. Well worth doing this day tour
We had Leo as our guide, and she made the experience memorable, with interesting stories and fun commentary. There was so much beauty to see throughout the trip. Thanks again, Leo! Mahalo!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this island tour! Ryan was an exceptional tour guide. He was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Hawaiian history, culture, and the island. His insight and stories added so much to every stop and made the entire experience feel much more meaningful than simply sightseeing. I especially loved the small-group format. It made the tour feel relaxed and personal. We were able to really enjoy the scenery, ask questions, and learn so much along the way. This was a fantastic way to experience the island and was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Ryan made an already beautiful tour even better. I would highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky enough to have Ryan as your guide, you’re in for a great day!
Nikki was a great tour guide! We had a lot of fun and great unexpected stops! Even with the rain and winds at times, we still had a great time! This was the day before Hurricane Lala! But still a lot of fun!
Had a great time all around the island with PE as our lovely driver! She is very knowledgeable and great at trying to avoid crowds and knows all the back roads. Tour is around 8 hours and would recommend doing it at the very beginning of your stay on O’ahu. Great for seeing where you want to spend more time on the island.
Guide was great most stops were interesting and on time meal was good
It’s an early start but well worth it, just the right number of stops for photos and food along with some great sights and stories. If you get Tyrone for the a tour guide (pineapple experience) then you are in for a treat. Would highly recommend.
This was a great tour. It give us a great opportunity to see parts of the entire island in a small group setting. I highly recommend it . Leonani was our guide and she was WONDERFUL! She was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained during the trip. She answered any questions we had and give many fun facts about the area. I would take this tour again and request her.
A great day out. We packed a lot in and our guide was fabulous.
The tour was amazing and our guide, Tyrone was hospitable, funny, and knowledgeable about the island.
This was a great experience all around! Tyrone was the best tour guide I’ve had in Hawaii. He was personable, funny, and knowledgeable. He made the excursion so fun!
Our tour guide Tyrone was great! It allowed to see additional sites to visit, unique places to eat, and cultural spots.
Tytonne was very informative, friendly, great sense of humor, safe driver, attentive and accommodating. Thank you Tyronne for a wonderful tour.
Provided lots of good knowledge. Plenty of time at all the places. I would have liked more time at North Shore. Time for both beach and shopping
Leonani- our tour guide and bus driver from the Pineapple Exp is the bomb. As a native Hawaiian, she so knowledgeable, giving us the history and stories alone the circle tour. Her ability to drive and simultaneously give such eloquent deliver is amazing. The small group tour is the way to go. Whichever group that ends up with her will be super lucky. Such a caring and kind person. Kevin SF, CA
We had a wonderful tour that highlighted the beauty of the island of O’ahu. The tour guide was the best. She told us great stories and her personality made us feel like she was family.
Le-o was great! She provided a lot of details and stories of the island!. She was a wealth of information. Definitely recommend this tour.
We are so happy to have booked this tour on the first full day of our trip! Even though it rained on us, the experience was amazing and our guide was incredibly informative, helpful, and fun. She showed us so many fun places we would never have otherwise seen and gave us excellent advice about the activities we had planned for the remainder of our trip. I can’t recommend this tour or our guide strongly enough. So thankful for this experience!!!
This is an all day experience filled with multiple opportunities to take beautiful and scenic pictures. Our guide Leonani was amazing! Not only did Leo provide stories and "must knows" about the island, but she also knew when to give us our space and time to enjoy with the family. She greated us with flowers at different stops, played our music requests, and was just the kindest. We greatly enjoyed out times snorkeling and at Dole. Our pictures are all amazing. I also appreciated the small group tour versus the giant tour buses we saw on the way.
Great full day tour of the island with beautiful lookouts! Our guide Ryan made the day wonderful with lots of great stories and lots of humour, and volunteered often to take some pictures of us. Thank you Ryan!
Very good trip. Tour guide Justin was very helpful and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this trip
The tour itself was not small, but the bus certainly was. The seating was extremely cramped, making the experience uncomfortable from the start. It was also quite hot inside, and it was difficult to hear the driver’s commentary clearly throughout the tour. The presentation felt very scripted, and there was considerable effort spent encouraging participants to interact with one another, which felt forced rather than natural. Unfortunately, this detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, seating arrangements left us unable to easily communicate with those around us, which further limited engagement. Overall, the tour did not meet expectations due to the crowded conditions, lack of comfort, and communication challenges.
P.E. was an amazing, with so much knowledge of the history of the area, she really made the trip special. Finding us the perfect local spots for food that was soooo oooonooooo (delicious). The Dole plantation was really cool, as well as the blowhole. She made some special stops for great photos. 100% would recommend, as well as go again.
Our tour guide, PE, was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history. Book today and don’t miss out!
Great way to see beautiful areas of the island that are off the beaten track.Tyrone was an amazing guide!!
Great tour to see most of the coast of the island. Very i informative. Our huide TYRONE was great. He gave us alot of information and was humorous he made the trip enjoyable.
It was a wonderful experience our tour guide Tyrone was the bomb. He showed us places and explained everything to us in a professional way. It was very amusing enjoyed our trip and it was a group of and we
Fantastic tour with the BEST.
Ryan was a great guide and very personable. My husband and I enjoyed the day tour of Hawaii. The van was spacious and clean.
Great tour, guide was very knowledgeable. Was a long day! Hit some beautiful spots! Out your guide was very passionate about Hawaii. Only negative- van was cramped and not comfortable.
I’m not very good with words, but only thing I can say is Leonani, our tour guide is excellent - kind, considerate, attentive & sweet. Reason I have rated the whole package five star.
The small group experience made the tour very pleasant. Going in and out of the van was convenient when there’s only a dozen people. Our tour guide, Tyrone, made all the difference in making our tour fun and enjoyable!
Our driver PE was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, made the tour fun, and best of all the tour started on time! It was a fun day and we saw many different places on the island. PE made the experience fun! If we had any questions she was willing to answer them. She was personable and helpful. Take this tour with her!
Tyrone was our tour guide and he was great! He made the tour fun and he told us a lot about the island and there was allot of great sightseeing stop and where we went for lunch was great! The whole tour was absolutely wonderful!!
