About this experience
Why fight the crowds when you can sleep in and still catch Oahu's best? This late-start, half-day, North Shore highlights tour + turtle snorkel lets you experience the island's most iconic spots without sacrificing your morning rest. Our small group of just 14 passengers means personalized attention as we explore from 9-9:30 AM Waikiki hotel, rental, and private residence pickups to 5 PM drop-off. All ages welcome.
We kick things off at Diamond Head Lookout, where summer surfers carve waves below dramatic cliffs. Then it's through Kahala's jaw-dropping $20M+ beachfront estates before hitting a local coastal spot where dolphins love to play, jump, and even make eye contact. Your taste buds are in for a treat at Wailua Sugar Mill with their small-batch coffee and chocolate, plus tropical-flavored roasted macadamia nuts at Haleiwa Macadamia Farm.
The real magic happens during our guided turtle encounters at legal viewing spots where Hawaiian sea turtles gather naturally. We cruise through charming Haleiwa Town, past legendary surf breaks like Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay, before stopping at Dole Plantation for that famous Dole Whip. We'll also cruise by Waimea Valley, a cultural and botanical gem with ancient sites, and Sharks Cove, a volcanic rock snorkeling spot.
Kahuku Sugar Mill's food truck paradise and a local fruit stand serving hot banana lumpia and fresh banana macadamia bread round out the culinary adventure. Our late-start, half-day, North Shore highlights tour + turtle snorkel includes complete snorkel gear, upbeat music, a cooler with ice and cold bottled waters, round-trip transportation in our comfortable 14-passenger van, expert local guidance, photo assistance, tastings of local coffee, chocolate, and mac nuts, exclusive shop deals along the route, and free Oahu Attraction Map, Haleiwa North Shore Map, and Waikiki Foodie Map.
The scenic return via Oahu's lush east coast showcases Kualoa Valley's Jurassic Park backdrop and the dramatic H-3 Koolau Mountains-bonus waterfall views when it's been raining. Just be ready to climb a few stairs to board our van! 100% guaranteed refund cancellation policy. From $149 per person.
