Hawaiian green sea turtles, most commonly known to locals as honu, as well as the other species of sea turtles out there, can be elusive. Home to five of the world’s seven species of sea turtles, the green sea turtle, and hawksbill are the most commonly found throughout the Hawaiian Islands. It seems obvious, then, that Hawaii is the perfect locale to interact with these gorgeous creatures. While you will likely encounter sea turtles in a variety of coastal areas across the islands, there is no better way to get up close and personal with these adorable animals than on an excursion with Hawaii Turtle Tours.
While Hawaii Turtle Tours offers a variety of excursions across the island of Oahu, today, we’re talking about their Turtle Circle Island Tour, complete with sea turtle encounters and so, so much more.

Each sightseeing tour is kept small to provide the best experience for guests and includes quite the list of stops and activities, but we suggest springing for the Gold Package. Just $40 more per person, this package includes lunch and either kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding on a beautiful river.
