Overview

Indulge in a flavor-forward journey through Oʻahu’s countryside. Begin at the iconic Dole Plantation — home of Hawaiʻi’s world-famous pineapple — where you can wander tropical gardens, photograph the fields, and treat yourself to fresh-cut pineapple, creamy Dole Whip, and other island favorites. Continue to Kō Hana Distillers to taste small-batch rum made from heirloom Hawaiian sugarcane and learn how cane-to-glass craft spirits are produced right here on the island.

The afternoon wraps at Coral Crater Adventure Park, where you can relax, browse the shop, or opt into additional activities on another visit. Designed as a light, sensory experience with comfortable transportation, this tour pairs perfectly with an evening in town.

At Kō Hana Distillers, guests 21 and over can sample premium Hawaiian rum or enjoy a handcrafted cocktail, while non-drinkers and guests under 21 are treated to Kō Hana’s house-made gelato — a sweet and refreshing alternative.

I booked the sunset snorkeling cruise with Malama Tours. The process was easy and straight forward. Shuttle was right on time and our driver (Sergey) made our drive to the boat super interesting and entertaining. The cruise was terrific and we saw fish, dolphin, turtles, and even seals! The crew in the boat were all very nice and made our cruise memorable. Highly recommend using Malama Tours for any of your adventures. Pricing was also terrific.

Got one of the best ATV rides on the island. The views were unreal, and the staff made everything feel safe, smooth, and respectful to the land. You’re not just riding—you’re learning about the area too. Highly recommend if you want adventure with real local insight.

We booked a very last minute tour which they were so gracious and accommodating and was able to work out a private tour for our family. We loved it seen parts of the island we would have never been able to see and we were so thankful to them and especially our driver Darlene she was so sweet and very knowledgeable about everyplace she took us. I would highly recommend you book with Malama Tours and ask for Darlene if she’s available definitely a 5 star plus tour and driver Thanks for a beautiful experience for our vacation and giving us beautiful memories to last a lifetime
