Aulani--tours/excursions

[NC State Tigger]

Although we plan to have a rental car, DH thinks that it might be a good idea to look into some tours or excursions to get us to some of the "sights" and help eliminate some of the stress of driving in an unfamiliar location.

Looking at the Aulani website, the excursions seem very expensive and I think we could do a lot of what is offered on our own. I was thinking that perhaps we could do an "island tour" to get a look at the island and then use the rental car to revisit any area we wanted to spend more time at. I have our tickets for Pearl Harbor already and plan to drive to our visit there.

Is there a tour company someone would recommend?

Is the "Go Oahu" card worth considering?

Thanks for any help and advise.

Oahu is not difficult to navigate so I would recommend driving on your own. With google maps, tripadvisor, and of course DIS boards, you can research and explore.

Is there anything in particular your family is interested in?

I know Oahu quite well, so I can provide some assistance.

Hello - We did a Grand Circle Island Tour with Roberts Hawaii last time we visited. They are excellent but I think they may only operate from Waikiki. On our up coming trip we plan to revisit the high lights with a rental car, wish me luck on the 'other side' of the road

Bumble Bee - my dh and I will be traveling in January. Can you recommend some island tours? Something that may be more broad-brushed, but then we could go back and explore on our own? Also, we like to walk/hike/run. Any particular areas we should hit? Thanks!
