Turtle Eco Adventure Tour

Location: Waikiki, Oahu

Tour Highlights

Circle the island with a local guide who takes you from volcanic cliffs to surf-famous beaches to calm turtle coves, revealing the real Oʻahu far beyond Waikīkī as honu, blowholes, and rural backroads come into view.

  • Take in panoramic South Shore views from Diamond Head and Halona
  • Taste tropical fruits at a roadside stand on Oʻahu’s windward coast
  • Watch world-class waves crash along the North Shore’s iconic breaks
  • Savor a shrimp-truck lunch sourced from nearby island farms
  • Snorkel Turtle Beach to spot honu feeding along the shoreline rocks

Quick Local Tip: If you spot a honu riding the surge right at the water’s edge, getting gently rolled forward and back by the waves, have your camera ready. That usually means it’s about to ride one more push of water onto the sand and crawl up to bask in the warm Hawaiian sun.

Tour Destinations

  • Diamond Head Lookout – (5-10min) The most famous volcanic crater in the world is Diamond Head, located on the South-east Coast of Oahu at the end of Waikiki overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The name was given to the crater by British sailors in the 1800s. When they first saw the crater at a great distance, the calcite crystals in the lava rock appeared to glimmer in the sunlight. The sailors mistakenly thought there must be diamonds in the soil. Diamond Head is a crater that has been extinct for 150,000 years. The crater is 3,520 feet in diameter with a 760-foot summit. Our tour stops at a stunning outlook of panoramic views of the Pacific Coast on Diamond Head.
  • Halona Blowhole – (10-15min) The blowhole is a natural occurrence formed by molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions 10,000 years ago. The lava tubes run to the ocean and, when the surf is right, the blowhole shoots water up to 30 feet in the air. The larger the waves, the larger the spray.
  • Sandy Beach - Called “Sandy’s” by the locals, Sandy Beach, on Oahu’s southeastern coast, is a favorite of experienced body-boarders. When the surf is calm, this is a superb beach for swimming. However, when the surf is up, this beach can be treacherous due to the shore break and rip tide currents. Experienced body surfers find that the waves here have no equal anywhere else on the island.
  • Makapu’u Beach – Awesome beach on the east side of Oahu with beautiful scenery of Rabbit Island and the Makapu’u Lighthouse. This beach is favorable among locals and not at all crowded. It is especially good for boogie boarding and body surfing.
  • Fruit Stand – (15-20min) Browse, buy, and taste some of Hawaii's most tropical and exotic fruits from this family owned roadside fruit stand. You'll have an opportunity to try guava, mango, starfruit, lychee, papaya, coconut, and so many more!
  • Sunset Beach – Sunset Beach, Pipeline, Haleiwa and the North Shore of Oahu are known as the surfing capitol of the world. Vans Triple Crown- The Super Bowl of Surfing, is held here during November and December. Winter on the North Shore bring waves that may reach up to 30 feet. When the surf is pounding, this beautiful North Shore beach is the most spectacular in the world. Pipeline is THE wave every serious surfer wants to ride because it is the most powerful. When it comes to surf, no matter what happens anywhere else in the world, it all comes back to the Banzai Pipeline!
  • Shrimp Truck Lunch Stop – (30-40min) Located on the beautiful Oahu’s North Shore our lunch location boasts great food featuring freshly harvested shrimp from Oahu's local shrimp farms. Non-seafood options available.
  • Turtle Beach with Snorkeling – (60min) This beach offers great sand and an opportunity to relax. But best of all are the green sea turtles! These green sea turtles (honu) come close to shore to feed on the seaweed growing on the rocks. These amazing reptiles can live up to be 80 years old! So whether you are viewing turtles from the beach, or watching them with a mask and snorkel, remember they have been on this earth a lot longer than we have so give them the respect they deserve. Always keep your distance and never try and touch or feed the turtles.
  • Dole Plantation – (30min) Everything you need to know about pineapples. The Dole plantation has been open to the public since 1989 and is now one of Oahu’s most popular visitor attractions and welcomes more than one million visitors a year. The Pineapple Express and the Plantation Garden Tour are just a few of the activities for families to take part in. One of the greatest Oahu tour destinations!
