Hawaii Turtle Tours

Eric and Mike were great tour guides and while on trip I got sick. No questions asked Mike and Eric checked on me to make sure I was good, made sure I didn't need anything, and ensured I could still enjoy the tour.They really went above and beyond!

So happy my gf and I signed up for this amazing tour! We got picked up early in the morning around 7:50 and returned back to our place around 4pm.We got to see many beautiful places in the big island including sea turtles and final destination was the dole plantation. Also got to try different kinds of macadamia nuts in between tours and ended up buying 6 bags with different flavors to take back home. Nevin has a great personality and very knowledgeable about the island. I learned from him a lot about the island. MarMarvie's driving skills is really good! He is very friendly too. Thank you so much guys for making this an unforgettable experience!!!

We were picked up at 7:20 am and got back to our drop off at 4pm! It was an all day adventure! We got to see a blow hole, tons of mountains, hear lots of old Hawaiian stories and history! Our tour guide, Nevin, was amazing (he totally looks like a Targaryen from game of thrones). We stopped for lunch (not included) and it was super yummy! All different kinds of shrimp options. Or chicken strips. My favorite part, obviously, was snorkeling with the turtles! We saw probably 4 or 5 huge turtles in the hour that we were there. After snorkeling we went to the dole plantation and a macadamia nut farm bit were very neat!

North Shore Circle Island AdventureTour, Honolulu - highlights: Halona Blowhole lookout, Kuala Point, Dole plantation, Diamondhead, snorkeling on North Shore Good tour to some of Honolulu's main sightseeing spots & beach time for snorkeling. Booked thru Viator - Convenient pick-up spots in downtown Waikiki. Devin, the tour guide, was knowledgeable & friendly, a native of Honolulu, he added some local flavor about various spots & recent history/politics. This could be dubbed the "eat snacks around Honolulu" tour - along the route, we stopped for macadamia nuts, fresh fruit, rice & shrimp (lunch), shaved ice & Dole whip (ice cream). Bring cash for lunch & other stops where you might want to pick something up. It was about 7 hours, hitting some of the natural "must-see" sightseeing spots on the island. As several really are just stop-and-see type spots, the tour was a good way to catch them all in 1 day. But note on Diamondhead - this stop is on the outside of the mountain/crater, if you want to get to the top, make time to come back later for a hike; tourists have to make reservations in advance.The highlight was the swim/snorkel with the sea turtles stop. I imagined more of a swim among a school of turtles (its probably not called a "school") kind of thing, although maybe that would've been a little scary,  as they are kinda big. (Note - the sea turtles are protected by federal law so if you see them, leave them alone.) We did see turtles, very close - but they were actually easier to spot when we were out of the water than while swimming. The little bay area is a nice, cool sheltered area to swim & snorkel and was a fun swim break in the middle of the tour. Small bus, about 18 people on the tour, mostly family groups. I went solo on this tour and it was fun - so if you aren't sure about going alone - go for it!

Hawaii turtle tours !! Great tour- super fun with Kurt and harry Kurt is hilarious, fun and very informative Never hesitated to answer our questions HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We just came back from a fantastic North Shore Circle Island Tour with Hawaii Turtle Tours led by Kurt and Harry. While we have been on many tours, Kurt was so fun (and funny!), informative, kept us all punctual and really taught us a lot about Oahu, which is saying a lot as we've been to the island before, have been on many tours and already knew a LOT! However, this was the first time we've been on the island with our children (ages 24 and 17), and they confirmed they also had an awesome time experiencing all of their Oahu "firsts." I highly recommend the North Shore Circle Island Tour with Kurt and Harry. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!

Our tour was great!Nevin was an awesome guide he gave us history, legends, and myths, and even played his ukilali.We swam with turtles, and some did the snorkeling. We ended at Dole plantation and the dole whip was delicious

Nevin was the best tour guide. If you want to learn about Hawaii, past, present, mythology, and the language he knows everything and answered our question's eloquently and with a wonderful sense of humor. Our driver John was great too. The tour was the best and we enjoyed every minute of it. The shrimp for lunch was excellent and very moreish I strongly support this tour company.

9/23/24 - What's not like about turtles/snorkling, good food, and an awesome guide. Fun and informative commentary. Great day to spend a day. Thanks Justin!

It was a pleasure to have Justin as our tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed all the stops and were delighted by the unexpected whale sightings.I highly recommend this island tour for couples or families.
