Loved by Thousands of Oahu Visitors
Real guests share why Hawaii Turtle Tours is one of Oahu’s most trusted small-group island experiences.
“Nevin was an OUTSTANDING guide and so knowledgeable! We felt that we got a complete experience and met great people on our bus. The sites taken to were exactly what we wanted to see and the snorkeling with turtles was amazing. COMPLETELY WORTH IT!! We would do it again, and highly recommend it to first time visitors!”
“What an awesome day! The info along the way from Mike with all the fun facts and ways to see the island for free was SO COOL! Mole, our lifeguard and turtle whisperer, made snorkeling easy and fun!”
“An unforgettable family memory. We booked the Turtle tour out of Honolulu for a family morning out, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of our time in Oahu. Traveling with a multi-generational group can sometimes make activities tricky to plan, but this experience balanced everyone’s needs perfectly.”

Everything You Need to Know
Answers to the questions guests ask us most before booking the Circle Island Adventure.
🐢 Will we definitely see turtles?
We visit one of Oʻahu’s most reliable turtle sanctuary areas where sightings are highly likely. Since turtles are wild marine animals, we can’t guarantee every encounter, but our success rate is excellent.
👨👩👧 Is the tour suitable for kids and older adults?
Absolutely! Our Circle Island Adventure is designed for guests of all ages—from curious keiki to adventurous grandparents. The pace is relaxed, and our guides are happy to help throughout the day.
♿ Can I bring a wheelchair or stroller?
Yes. While our vehicles aren’t fully wheelchair or stroller accessible, you’re welcome to bring them. Just let our dispatch team know ahead of time so we can best accommodate your needs.
🤿 Do I need to be a good swimmer for snorkeling?
Not at all. We snorkel in calm, shallow waters, making it enjoyable for both experienced swimmers and first-time snorkelers.
🍤 Is lunch included?
Lunch isn’t included, but we’ll stop at one of the North Shore’s famous shrimp trucks, where you’ll also find local snacks, shaved ice, and souvenir shops.
🌺 Are there any special rules during the tour?
Yes. As proud HMAR Stewards, we’re committed to protecting Hawaiʻi’s marine life. Our guides will explain how to safely enjoy sea turtles and other wildlife while respecting local conservation guidelines.
