Turtle Tour and Surf

You haven't truly experienced the North Shore until you've combined surfing with turtle watching in one epic adventure. North Shore Surf Girls delivers exactly that with their turtle tour and surf Haleiwa experience-a 3-hour journey that blends professional surf instruction with close encounters of Hawaii's beloved green sea turtles, topped off with authentic Hawaiian shave ice.

What sets this apart? You're learning from the real deal-former professional surfers and trained lifeguards who call the North Shore home. With their 3-to-1 student-instructor ratio, you get personal attention while riding the same waves where pros hone their skills. This isn't just any surf school; they've been featured in Blue Crush, Bay Watch, Fuel TV, MTV, and Travel Channel, bringing Hollywood-caliber expertise to your lesson.

After you've caught your waves, the adventure shifts to turtle viewing. Watching these magnificent Hawaiian green sea turtles glide through their natural habitat is pure magic-and the perfect way to wind down from your surf session.

Being locally-owned makes all the difference. They treat you like ohana (family), focusing exclusively on your group for that intimate, personalized touch. Kids under 8 are welcome, making this ideal for families seeking both thrills and cultural connection.

Everything you need is provided: surfboards, surf shirts, rash guards, and wetsuits or life jackets. Just bring your swimsuit or surf shorts, towel, and reef-safe sunscreen without oxybenzone to protect our precious coral reefs.

This turtle tour and surf Haleiwa adventure requires a 3-person minimum, with rates starting from $189.95 per person for ages 2 and up. Book ahead-they require 24-hour cancellation notice to avoid full charges.
