    Very cool your to go on I highly recommend! Mike was our tour guide and he truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and didn’t get left behind. Mike is really good at his job! Constantly made everyone laugh and have so many great recommendations to places. The shrimp place we stopped at was BEYOND DELICIOUS!!!! Recommend getting the spicy one for more flavor. Cousin Victor was a great driver and always made sure the AC was on before getting back so we weren’t in the heat. If you’re in Hawaii you NEED to go on this tour!!!

    A highlight of our trip. Got an amazing overview of Oahu and stopped at so many great locations. Our guide, Mike, was so interesting! He presented so much amazing history and info. in such a fun and understandable way. A great guide filled with priceless tips about the Island. Cousin Joe, our driver made it a very smooth ride. We could sit back and relax. We highly recommend this tour. Not all are the same. Had a wonderful time snorkeling and spotting Sea Turtles.

    One of the cases where I wish 6 stars were possible. Hawaii Turtle Tours gave us a beautiful overview of the right side of the island (south, east, and north), including scenic views of many Hawaiian historical landmarks. Justin and Joe were a fun trove of knowledge and gave us enough ideas for places to revisit during our vacation. Highly recommend to take this tour during the first days of your vacation, you might find yourself wanting to revisit many of the places covered! Professional, accommodating, and downright hilarious!

    If you are going to do a tour of the island, this is the bus you want to be on... From the top. Entertainment, Mike is funny AF, like my dark sense of humor 🀣. Bus is spotless, and runs the AC the entire time. They give you a time frame but never rushed anyone. Shop stop places are spot on, food was amazing. Had the spice garlic shrimp 🀀... I'm glad I booked with them... can't remember the drivers name but he clearly knew what he was doing 😊

    Took my family to Hawaii for a week long vacation in June. We really wanted to see as much of the island as possible without driving around aimlessly. We thoroughly enjoyed the Tour, visiting the North Shore and seeing these amazing Turtles and getting so close to them. The lunch at Fumis was spectacular ( I recommend the shrimp). Our Tour Guide Kory was simply the best. His high energy and infectious personality had my entire family laughing and smiling the entire time. He answered any questions we had without hesitation and was so polite. It's always a great time when you can see someone actually enjoying their job as he does. I would definitely recommend Hawaii Turtle Tours...ask for Kory as the guide.

    11/11/23 Cousin Mike and Tim the driver was phenomenal. I had a group of 7 to go on this tour. Mike was personally and knowledgeable about every spot he took us. From our pick up to our drop off nothing but laughs. Great picture moments and I love to swim my son and I were able to get in and swim with some turtles. Our group seen two monk seals on our tour. I’ve done circle island tours before by far this one was the best. Thank you cousin Mike & Tim for waiting on cousin Val she hasn’t travel in 30 yrs and she said β€œshe enjoyed your tour the most.”

    One of the best tours we have ever been to! We took out boys with us, ages 8 and 9… they had a blast!! We had an amazing time, Kurt and Harry were very professional, friendly and personable! All the locations we visited were incredible! We will recommend this to anyone looking to have a phenomenal experience! All the food was delicious and priced appropriately. It was incredible to make family memories and experience this as a family! My kids had fun and enjoyed every moment of it! It was the perfect amount of activities and driving time! I have nothing but good things to say about this tour! We will do this again!

    Tour was great and very informative. Mike and Victor were more than awesome and very attentive through out the tour. Very beautiful scenery all around the island, breath taking views at every stop we made. The North Shore was incredible, got to see a few turtles from a far and enjoyed the walk on the sand. Enjoyed all there was to offer at every stop we made for snacks, food, drinks, fruits etc… Mike was a very funny guy with his jokes making our group laugh all along the tour making it more enjoyable meanwhile giving us all the information we needed about the island and culture it brings, Victor was a great driver getting us too and from. I would 100 percent recommend this tour with Mike & Victor. You will encounter the best views of beaches, ocean views, local shops, different towns, islands in the surroundings areas, sky views, mountains, the people. Thank you Mike & Victor and ALOHAAAA!!!!!!πŸ€™πŸ½πŸŒΊ (Insider joke for Mike & Vic) Jordan was great πŸ’―πŸ€™πŸ½πŸ˜‚ P.S bring cash for food, drinks, snacks, souvenirs, tips …..

  • 4/5 Tiffany S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Tour! We were able to see a lot in a day. Our tour guide Nevin was very knowledgeable and shared helpful tips. Our driver Danny got us to each place safely! The tour lasted about 8 hours as stated so we were back in the city by 4:30 PM. Our pick up was on time! The tour bus was clean, and we liked that it was a small group. Nevin allowed us ample time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. Snorkeling was fun and we did see turtles. There were some fish as well. I have only removed one star because looking back at the itinerary it appears that we did not stop at the fruit stand that was listed after lunch. It would have been nice to enjoy a refreshing coconut drink. We did make a stop by a gift shop early on in the tour and outside of that was a vendor selling pineapples and pastries so maybe this made up for the fresh fruit stand πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™€οΈ. Nonetheless, I'd recommend this tour over the other circle island tours that are marketed throughout Wikiki. It provided a great introduction to Oahu for a first time visitor!

    We were looking for a private tour for our Family(12 people total) celebrating my in laws 55th anniversary. Johnny our Tour guide was awesome. We only had the 12 of us in a private Van all day. He was very knowledgeable & gave a lots of info and answered all our questions. He was definitely 5+⭐️ guide. We had a wonderful day exploring the whole island of Oahu. Plus we were all picked up at our hotel & dropped off there. Definitely recommend Hawaii Turtle Tours for a memorable day with our family. We saw sea turtles & many of the popular sites. Keep up the awesome job Johnny. πŸ‘

    We didn't have a car to get around Oahu so this tour was perfect to take us around popular spots around the North Shore area. Our tour guide was Mike & driver was Mitch, both were friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the lunch pit stop at Tanaka Shrimp - best spicy garlic butter shrimps I had on the trip + rainbow shaved ice desserts next door. Also enjoyed the fruit market stop locals selling fruit, home made banana bread and banana spring rolls. Unfortunately, the water was too rough for us to snorkel with the turtles but Mike added an extra stop where we could see turtles on the beach. Appreciated the extra effort!

    Uncle Richard and Mike killed this tour! It’s the only one we had scheduled for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. We spent the entire day filled of laughs, history, and amazing food! I highly recommend booking this tour!

    I cannot recommend this tour enough. Had the most amazing tour with Kurt and Harry from Hawaii Turtle Tours. Tour bus was clean and comfortable, Harry was an excellent driver, felt very safe. As for Kurt he made everyone feel very welcome. Excellent knowledge of the island, lots of tips and good advice delivered with great humour. What impressed me the most was that Kurt genuinely wanted everyone to get the best out of the day and have a great time. He was very safety conscious and went above and beyond to ensure a couple of older people on the tour got the best of experiences. Excellent value for money, great stops, great food and great company. Julie and Carl from the UK

    My wife and I went on the Turtle Island Tour and it was a blast! The reason why we chose this one over other tours was to get a tour of the whole island and to learn more about what Oahu has to offer. After numerous stops at view points, beaches, macadamia nut and coffee farm, shrimp lunch we snorkeled for about 1 1/2 hours saw fish and most importantly turtles. Last stop was at the Dole pineapple plantation where we got pineapple soft serve, so good! This was a great experience and I would do it over again in a heart beat. Josh was our tour guide and he has been on the island his whole life. He had great energy and showed us all the cool spots on the island he has been going to since he was a kid. We stayed in Waikiki but next time we come back we will be getting away from all the tourist and taking his advice and will be going to the north side! Too easy! πŸ€™πŸ»

    Today we had the absolute pleasure of taking a Hawaii Turtle Tour for a circle Island tour of Oahu. We saw some amazing scenery and had an even more amazing tour guide. Josh shared tremendous information, all the while being extremely entertaining. He truly added a great deal of fun and fact to the day! And, best of all, he Lives Pono! Thank you Hawaii Turtle Tours and am emphatic Mahalo to Josh for a great day!!!

    After getting two different tours cancelled with other companies these guys really pulled through. I was able to quickly call in and confirm availability over the phone and quickly get it booked over the phone. Our tour guide Kory was super fun and informative. We had a great time on the tour and it was totally worth it.

    Drove all around the island. Our tour guide Uncle Isaac was very knowledgeable and nice! We had a fun day and ended the tour swimming with turtles in Turtle Bay. Bring cash for tips and you need cash for lunch. A++++++

  • 5/5 Nathan P. 2 years ago on Google
    We booked a private tour last minute on a whim. It turned out to be an excellent decision. Our guide Damian was fantastic. We truly got a feeling that we got to connect just a little with some of what O'ahu has to offer. Totally recommend. 100 percent!

    Our group of 11 stayed in Disney’s Aulani in Kapolei. Justin picked us up (he was early!) and took us on a guided tour of Oahu. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He talked the whole time, sharing Hawaiian stories and cultures with us and was also open to questions. He seemed excited to show us his home and made sure we saw turtles in the water (and not just at the shoreline feeding). He told us things about Aulani we hadn’t learned yet. The van was clean and comfortable. He told us other things to do and what to look for during other excursions we had planned. I highly recommend Hawaii Turtle Tours! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Amazing amazing tour!!! Harry was a wonderful and safe driver, and Kurt brought thorough Hawaii history coupled with hilarious humor. The whole bus was smiling and laughing and we really did feel like "ohana" by the end. BEAUTIFUL natural sites and fun snorkeling with the turtles, as well as delicious LOCAL and fresh food and shops. They also give every guest a curtosy call in the morning to check in before picking you up - very thoughtful and appreciated. They care about every guest. Best tour I've ever been on, especially if it's your first time in Hawaii :). THIS TOUR IS WORTH IT 1,000 TIMES OVER!

  • 5/5 Kurt L. 2 years ago on Google
    We took the "Renagade" tour (Went backwards from the posted itinerary). Trust your guides to know when the crowds will be at each section. Uncle Keith and Renaissance Man Mike were awesome and funny with their knowledge of the area as well as local places to stop and refresh. I love supporting local shops and farms. Stopping for snacks at a local farm is a must! Love these guys! If you want to spend a lot of time at Fole (take the train tour or the Pinapple maze), do that on a while day trip for you own as it can take up to 4 hours. Snorkeling at the Tuttle Reef gives you a great opportunity to see the turtles from the shore and explore the reef on your own.

  • 5/5 Carrie P. 4 months ago on Google
    Greg was AWESOME!! We really had no idea what we were doing when booking this guided tour to the North Shore. We were extremely glad we did it. Greg had so many fun things to show and tell us along the drive. He knew all the great spots for sightseeing and photo ops. He took us to several hidden local gems for fruit and other foods. We would have NEVER gotten to see all the things he showed us had we not taken the tour. I highly recommend Greg (super chill and fun). Thanks for a fantastic day in Hawaii!!

  • 5/5 Jennifer 4 months ago on Google
    Great tour. Loved the snorkeling with turtles. Went to all the places I was looking forward to. Harry was a great smooth driver. Kurt was a wonderful tour guide who kept kept us laughing and entertained. I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken. They even personally picked us up at our cruise port, which I thought was grade A Service!

  • 5/5 David V. 4 months ago on Google
    I’ll start by saying Kurt and harry are amazing tour guides. Smooth ride all the way through, amazing history and facts we got to learn along the way. Caught tons of laughs and had an amazing time. Got to try delicious food and had an extraordinary experience throughout the day. From swimming with the turtles, to the amazing local cuisine. I would highly recommend this tour to see the real Hawaii and in efficient and fun manner. Book as soon as you can and have a top tier experience.

  • 5/5 Carolyn B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing time with Issac and our driver. Issac was well informed of the places we toured and his voice is very memorable. He took the time to explain tour spots and even taught us a few words and how to annunciate. He was very engaging and not shy at all. I would highly recommend this tour. We made a new friend for life with Issac. Carolyn and crew.

  • 5/5 Carlito M. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely hit these guys up! Ask for Cousin Isaac and Cousin Harry they made us feel like we have been long time friends/fam. Tons of info and full of energy made my group feel like we were hanging all day compared to just following a tour guide. Definitely highly recommend to everybody interestedπŸ™

  • 5/5 Wilson T. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic tour! With Vic at the wheel and Josh dropping knowledge, we toured the entire island. Passed by some future snorkeling spots and future ventures. Great snorkeling experience, unfortunately it was cloudy with sand due to the swell but we did see turtles on the surface! A great introduction to Oahu to help plan better adventures!

  • 5/5 Greg C. 1 year ago on Google
    King Mike was a great tour guide! Very good tour. Funny, lots of stories and jokes. Very knowledgeable and interactive. Lots of great stops and food along the way. I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Cari M. 2 years ago on Google
    My Fiance & I went on tour with Justin & Harry. Justin was so knowledgeable & funny. Not only just about Hawaii; the culture, history & science side of it. Getting to see Diamond head, many beaches, best spots to hit, where to not go if you're new, food (so damn good, omg the Shrimp place & Fruit stand, Macadamia Store with Coffee, Dole Whip). Even learning about Peral Harbor when you pass thru where things happened. Highly recommend, especially at the start of your trip! They do work for tips also, recommend you do - super worth it

  • 5/5 Kelsie K. 1 year ago on Google
    The driving route was a full circle tour of the island and Justin had so many stories and historical facts for each location we stopped or passed. He’s hilarious and knew all of our locations well enough to make last minute changes to tailor to our needs (for example, one shave ice place had a huge line so he quickly redirected our driver to a different historic shave ice place with no line that was equally as delicious). The van was comfy with huge windows and our driver, Victor, made me feel very safe.
