With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Hawaiian green sea turtles, most commonly known to locals as honu, as well as the other species of sea turtles out there, can be elusive. Home to five of the world’s seven species of sea turtles, the green sea turtle, and hawksbill are the most commonly found throughout the Hawaiian Islands. It seems obvious, then, that Hawaii is the perfect locale to interact with these gorgeous creatures. While you will likely encounter sea turtles in a variety of coastal areas across the islands, there is no better way to get up close and personal with these adorable animals than on an excursion with Hawaii Turtle Tours.
While Hawaii Turtle Tours offers a variety of excursions across the island of Oahu, today, we’re talking about their Turtle Circle Island Tour, complete with sea turtle encounters and so, so much more.
On the nine-hour excursion, you will be transported from Waikiki to the rural windward coast of Oahu and then to the north shore, where you will learn all about the island’s unique history and culture.
Sit back and relax as you discover some of the island’s best destinations, from Turtle Beach to Chinaman’s Hat. From experiencing some of the most sacred spots on the island to enjoying some mighty delicious seafood, this unique tour offers a little bit of everything.
Of course, the emphasis is placed on the majestic Hawaiian green sea turtle. This sightseeing tour is the island’s only circle island "wet" tour, where guests will have the chance to snorkel and swim with green sea turtles.
The entire family will enjoy this all-day island tour. Keiki are welcome to explore this paradise with you, and those under the age of three are free when they ride as a lap child.
Each sightseeing tour is kept small to provide the best experience for guests and includes quite the list of stops and activities, but we suggest springing for the Gold Package. Just $40 more per person, this package includes lunch and either kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding on a beautiful river.
Offering incredible encounters with the island’s wondrous wildlife and boundless natural beauty, this eco-adventure is unlike any other. So, what are you waiting for?
