Circle Island

Follow the coast all the way to the North Shore
and return back to town through the center of the island

The circle island ride is a must do experience for experienced riders who have a motorcycle license*. Follow the coast around Diamond Head, past Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach, Waimanalo, Kailua, through Kaneohe and along the Windward Side past the Polynesian Cultural Center and see the Seven Mile miracle from Sunset Beach to Haleiwa. Then head back down through the center of the island, past the Dole Plantation, Pearl Harbor, and into Honolulu to complete your epic trip through Downtown, Ala Moana and into Waikiki. Make sure to take your swimwear and sunscreen, because some of the world’s most beautiful beaches are along this route.

*Please note that you can do this ride on a moped, without a motorcycle license. It is a very long ride for a moped with a 49cc engine. The riding can become difficult at times and you may need to ride along the shoulder, since your rental won’t keep up with traffic. You will also have to avoid all of the major highways (We’ve included directions for mopeds below to help you navigate safely.). The ride is unforgettable, but also not for everybody, so please make your best judgement. Also, if you decide not to complete the Circle Island ride, you’ll already have completed the East Side ride, which is a must-see for all visitors to Oahu.

DIRECTIONS:

Head towards the ocean on Kapahulu Ave.
Turn Left on Kalakaua Ave.

(Ride past the Waikiki Aquarium and the War Memorial on the right, and Kapiolani Park on the left. After the water fountain, continue straight and explore the historic homes on Coconut Ave. until it intersects Diamond Head Road)

Turn Right on Diamond Head Road

(Climb to the top of Diamond Head Road where views of local surfers and the Diamond Head Lighthouse await. Enjoy driving through the “Beverly Hills of Oahu” as Diamond Head Road becomes Kahala Ave.)

Turn Left onto the 72 (Kalanianaole Hwy) at the Stop Sign

(Stay on the bike path on the highway and be prepared to ride with some pretty fast traffic against strong winds. Please be aware of cars making right turns from the far right lane)

Continue on the 72 (Kalanianaole Hwy) for approximately 13 miles
Turn Left onto the 61 (Pali) Highway at the fork in the highway. You’ll see Castle Medical Center on the right as you turn onto the Pali
Turn Right onto the 83 (Kahekili) Highway towards Kaneohe
Continue onto the 830 and then back onto the 83 (Kamehameha) Highway to enjoy the scenic drive around the Northeastern coast of Oahu

(This 35 mile stretch of highway takes you out of mountainous, green Kaneohe and onto the oceanside stretch of the ride. You’ll ride through the picturesque towns of Hauula, Laie, Kahuku, and Pupukea. Please use caution as the 830 (Kahekili) Highway is largely a 2-lane road, so be aware of fast-moving traffic and pull over if there are cars waiting behind you. Enjoy the gorgeous views and drive with aloha!)

Turn Right at the Haleiwa North Shore sign to ride through Historic Haleiwa Town
As you exit Haleiwa at the traffic circle, take the 3rd exit to continue onto the 99 (Kamehameha) Highway

(You’ll pass the famous Dole Pineapple Plantation on the left as you ride into central Oahu)

Turn Left onto Wilikina Dr. to remain on the 99 (Kamehameha) Highway
At the H2 Junction, remain on Wilikina Dr. and then turn right to continue on the 99 (Kamehameha) Highway through Waipio and Mililani

(If you’re riding a scooter and have a motorcycle license, merge onto H2 to head back into Honolulu)

At the H1 Junction in Pearl City, turn left to continue on the 99 (Kamehameha) Highway and pass the Pearl Harbor Memorial as you head towards Honolulu
Take the exit for the 92 (Nimitz) Highway and continue onto Ala Moana Blvd.
