Tours of Honolulu You Cannot Miss
Sep 15, 2011
When taking advantage of cheap flights this year to Honolulu, Hawaii, consider not only the sandy beaches, but the tours Honolulu has to offer as well. From touring parts of Pearl Harbor’s history to a romantic dinner cruise, there is a tour in Honolulu for everyone.
USS Missouri Memorial
The attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 sunk the USS Missouri Arizona, but today it serves as a memorial for those who fell on that day. Though the tours of the USS Missouri are open daily, there are extensive lines for tourists coming off flights to Honolulu/Hawaii. Rather than wait in the long lines, sign up for a professional tour of the site instead.
Romantic Dinner Cruises
Honolulu is a hotspot when it comes to couples going on honeymoons. Aside from the secluded beaches and endless hotel options, couples enjoy cheap tickets to the island itself -- all of which make it the perfect getaway. Couples coming to Honolulu on their honeymoon or even just for a vacation can add a little extra romance by taking one of Honolulu’s famous dinner cruises. This first-class sightseeing experience starts off with a limousine ride to the docks and then a two hour cruise around the Kahala coastline. Each couple has their own table for two that includes a five-star five-course menu, champagne and candlelight dinner. Couples are given the opportunity to take a complimentary photo as well to remember the tour.
Diamond Head Crater Sunrise Tour
Just about anywhere you go in Waikiki you can see the Diamond Head Crater. This 760-foot crater can be seen from the sky as you fly in on flights to Honolulu, but nothing beats seeing this landmark in person. Believe it or not, it is one of the more popular places to propose in Honolulu, which is why private guided tours are available for couples looking to have a little alone time.
Parasailing on Maunalua Bay
If you are headed to Honolulu on cheap airline tickets to seek out adventure, then a parasailing tour is right up your alley. Soar through the air and see what the crystal clear waters of Waikiki look from the sky. You will board a boat crewed by experienced members of the U.S. Coast Guard who will then float you up 300 feet in the air so that you can see breathtaking views of Diamond Head Crater, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu and all the beach-goers.
