About Pearl Harbor & Mini Circle Island Tour from Waikiki Day Tours
Pay tribute at the iconic Arizona Memorial and explore Oahu's breathtaking coastline on this unforgettable Pearl Harbor and Mini Circle Island tour departing from Waikiki. From sacred temples and dramatic sea cliffs to historic battle sites, this full-day adventure captures the heart and soul of the Aloha State.
Local Legends & Stories
At Nu'uanu Pali Lookout, legend tells of King Kamehameha the Great's rival Chief Kalanimoku ordering his enemies to be pushed off the towering cliffs during the unification of the Hawaiian Islands. The Iolani Palace was once home to the last monarchs of Hawaii, Queen Liliuokalani and King Kalakaua, whose stories of exile and resilience are woven into the very walls of this national historic landmark.
