❓Frequently Asked Questions
Will we definitely see turtles?
We visit a known turtle sanctuary area where sightings are highly likely, but since turtles are wild animals, we can’t guarantee it. That said, our success rate is very high!
Is the tour suitable for kids and older adults?
Absolutely! Our Circle Island Adventure is designed to be safe, fun, and accessible for guests of all ages — from curious keiki (kids) to adventurous grandparents.
Can I bring a wheelchair or stroller?
While our vans are not fully wheelchair or stroller accessible, you are welcome to bring them! Just let our dispatch team know in advance so we can better assist you on the day of the tour.
Do I need to be a good swimmer for snorkeling?
Not at all! Our snorkeling experience takes place in calm, shallow waters. Whether you’re a confident swimmer or not, you’ll be able to enjoy spotting marine life comfortably and safely.
Is lunch included in the tour?
Lunch isn’t included, but we stop at one of the best local shrimp trucks on the North Shore — located near souvenir shops and other local treats. Bring cash or a card to enjoy the options available!
Are there any special rules during the tour?
Yes — and it’s all part of our mission to protect the island!
We’re proud HMAR Stewards, which means we follow responsible wildlife viewing practices. You’ll be informed on how to enjoy the turtles and nature while keeping a respectful distance and preserving Oʻahu’s incredible flora and fauna.
