Oahu's Famous Sites, Bites & Sips (Airport Drop Off)

OVERVIEW

Settle in for a definitive look at the natural wonders of southeastern Oahu and enjoy an inspiring lunch and wine tasting. Along the way, you will pause at vantage points that present absolutely breathtaking vistas of the ancient volcano Diamond Head, the volcanically formed Halona blowhole and Hanuama Bay, a nature preserve within an ancient volcanic crater. Besides shaping the island’s landscape, volcanoes have left mineral deposits in the soil that make it exceptionally fertile. Your lunch at the Uahi Grill in Kailua will feature ingredients that flourish on the island’s farms and in the surrounding sea. The soil is also ideal for growing grapes for wine as you will discover at a tasting at Oeno Winery. The wines will be thoughtfully paired with handmade chocolates. Before taking off for the airport, you will see a statue of Hawaii’s first ruler, the legendary King Kamehameha I, and the battlefield where his victory in 1795 led to the unification of Hawaii.
