Hawaii Turtle Tours offers full-day Circle Island adventures around Oahu focused on snorkeling with Hawaiian green sea turtles and exploring the island’s iconic sights. Operating small-group minibus tours limited to 24 (occasionally up to 28) passengers, Hawaii Turtle Tours keeps groups intentionally compact so passengers can enjoy more personalized attention and flexible stops.
Each full-day itinerary runs about eight hours and includes roughly a dozen stops: Diamond Head lookout, Makapuʻu Beach, Halona Blowhole, the Dole Plantation, Turtle Beach and multiple North Shore beaches where an hour of guided snorkeling provides the best opportunity to see wild sea turtles. Guides share local history and safety briefings during each stop, combining cultural insights with marine stewardship and snorkeling best practices.
Hotel pickup and drop-off in Waikiki is included for passenger convenience. A Spanish-language version of the North Shore Circle Island Adventure is offered for Spanish-speaking guests. Meals and snacks are integrated into the route, with chances to sample North Shore shrimp and fresh macadamia nuts at local vendors.
The operator emphasizes respectful wildlife interactions: snorkeling near Hawaiian green sea turtles is conducted under responsible guidelines so animals remain undisturbed. Hawaii Turtle Tours is positioned as a reliable, experience-focused option for travelers seeking both wildlife encounters and a scenic island overview. Smaller group sizes, an informative guide, included Waikiki transfers, and specialized turtle snorkeling make the tour appealing to visitors who want a comprehensive, trustworthy, and memorable day exploring Oahu. Pre-departure safety details and booking information are provided to guests online and beforehand.
