Oahu Eco Tour - Natural Highlights of Oahu

Your first stop, the Pako Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary is the ideal place to observe native wetland bird species. Your exploration of Oahu continues with visiting the world famous Hanauma Bay (closed on Tuesdays) and the Kahauloa tuff cone along the island's stunning southeast volcanic coastline. Your next stop is Halona Cove, where green sea turtles and humpback whales swim in the crystal clear waters off From Here to Eternity Beach and a blowhole shoots columns of saltwater into the sky. After stopping at Makapu'u Lookout, where you will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of offshore islands, you will visit colorful tide pools and the 25,000 year old Kaupo lava flow. Your professional nature guide will show you rare species of native Hawaiian coastal plants and a variety of colorful seabirds. Just past Robin's Nest, where Magnum P.I. was filmed, you will stop for a walk on Oahu's longest sandy beach along the waters of Waimanalo Bay.

The next stop, Enchanted Lake Bird Sanctuary, is one of the best premier bird watching locations on Oahu where several species of rare Hawaiian birds can be observed. Then, travel to the ancient Hawaiian Temple, Ulupou Heiau, to see one of Oahu's best preserved archaeological sites and to learn about many important Polynesian plants. At the world-renowned Pali Lookout, described by Mark Twain as one of the most beautiful views on Earth, you will see the turquoise waters of Kaneohe Bay and the jagged, 2,000 foot vertical cliffs of the majestic Koolau volcano.
