Run don’t walk! BOOK NOW!

AMAZING! Don’t think about it book it! Hawai’i turtle tours gave my family an amazing private tour and we had the best day. My MIL was visiting and this was honestly the best way to show her every amazing thing that Oahu had to offer! Our tour guide Benji was beyond informative, supper funny, caring, patient and most of all he made memories that my MIL will NEVER forget. Tour was 4+ hours It was only 3 of us and very personalized to what we wanted which I appreciate! The private tour is an amazing option if you want a chill laid back atmosphere and one in one touring. Reach out and secure your spot! Pricing is great for all you get!

Must Do Tour in Oahu

Our private tour with Hawaii Turtle Tours was fantastic! Benji was very communicative and informative when scheduling the trip. We were a group of 4 adults, 2 teens, 2 10 year olds and a 5 year old. Our driver, Koa, was excellent. He is a local born Hawaiian and provided some great knowledge about Oahu and the areas we were seeing - as well as a lot of Hawaiian language. Our main goal was to see turtles. The surf while we were there prevented us from being able to snorkel with turtles. Laniakea beach (turtle beach) was covered with tourists, but not turtles due to the surf - but Koa took us off the beaten path to make sure we saw them. We also went to Waimea Valley to swim in the falls. Our smaller kids were getting tired by this time, so he suggested taking the tram up to save their little legs. This was a great suggestion. We were able to spend more time swimming in the falls without wearing out the kids walking up the trail. Waimea Falls is absolutely stunning and is a must do!! We drove down North Shore and saw all the famous beaches - Sunset Beach and Banzaii Pipeline. Stopped and watched some surfers. Koa had tons of knowledge about surfing and North Shore, which was really interesting. We then made the trip to Turtle Bay for snorkeling. Mole was our snorkel guide. We had some experienced snorkelers and first timers - he was really helpful and patient with the kids! We felt very comfortable and safe with our young kids snorkeling in the water. Saw tons of fish! Last we stopped at Dole Plantation, where we had lunch. One of our party really wanted to see Dole, so we were glad to fit in. However, overall Dole was not impressive - we would skip that if we did it again. Overall this was a phenomenal experience and I highly recommend!

Family trip

Great for phone calls and texts . Showed up early to pick us up. Mike and John made sure we were taken care of , and where we needed to be on our trip. They went over and above in helping to get tickets to an event that we couldn’t . Totally top notch people and company. They are the standard by which all travel companies should be judged.

Greatest day ever!

So much fun!! Nevin is a great tour guide!! He made sure we saw all that was on our list and made it so interesting. He's a very patient, humorous and knowledgeable young man. The best stop was Turtle Beach. We had a large group and everyone was able to see turtles 🐢

Take this private tour

Highly recommended!!! We had 11 in our group with ages from 10 to 70s. This experience was a hit with every person. Kevin was great! He was very knowledgeable about all the sights we passed or stopped to see. From snorkeling with sea turtles to stopping at a surf shop, he was so accommodating. Days before the tour, they checked in with us for any requests. This is a definite must do!

Operator response

Big Mahalo for joining our private tour..Yes we try to actually run the company like an upscale Concierge from the start to finish 5 star service is the only way to treat our wonderful guests..

Fantastic experience, would definitely recommend!

Greatest experience ever! Nevin did an amazing job at showing us around the island, being flexible with requests, and super knowledgeable of the history and locations. Even with Mother Nature being questionable at some points, we were able to stop at all of the important stops that we had requested, along with more!
