Benji is the best ! Worth your money & time! - Benji was so incredibly knowledgeable, kind and really made our tour an exciting experience. He even added a few stops that were not included in the main tour! From the moment he picked us up, you can feel his warmth and enthusiasm. He made an extra effort to try and look for turtles. And if that doesn’t convince you, as I was overheating due to not being used to the climate, he took and active role to make feel safe and adjust better to the environment… what a king, truly caring individual! I would 100% recommend you booking with Benji!!!! Worth your money and time.

Oahu’s beautiful beaches and sea turtles - We had an amazing experience exploring Oahu with our tour guide, Benjamin! He went out of his way to make sure we had an unforgettable day. One of the highlights was getting the opportunity to see the sea turtles, which was an awesome experience. Benjamin showed us incredible views of the island, from beautiful beaches and hidden bays in the southeast to the stunning scenery of the North Shore. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience and got to see as much of Oahu’s natural beauty as possible. I highly recommend Benjamin and this tour to anyone wanting to explore the island beyond the usual tourist spots. Thank you, Benjamin, for an unforgettable day!

Benji is the G.O.A.T.! - So glad we booked this tour for our family. Our 7 year old son really wanted to swim and see some sea turtles up close. We also wanted to get a tour of the North Shore so this was the perfect tour for us. We got to enjoy a little bit of everything. There was great food, a super informative guide and swimming at the Turtle Bay Resort. We were lucky enough to get Benji as our tour guide because he was so accommodating, entertaining and made an extra effort for us to to see sea turtles. He made sure to order our lunch in advance which saved us. When I asked if we could get shave ice, he made sure that I could get it and even offered to go out of the way to get shave ice. Benji was so full of knowledge and cool facts about Hawaii. The fact that there was also a lifeguard with us for the snorkeling with turtles made me feel safer. I would definitely recommend this tour and would book again with this tour company the next time that I am in Hawaii. Thank you again Benji for going the extra mile for us!!

Mahalo. Brilliant experience. - This was a great experience. Cousin Mike and Cousin John took great care of us. Great driving and what life time memory we will carry with us. Lunch was also fresh. The scenery on this trip out was spectacular. Come to hawaii. Leave it better than you got there. Swam with turtles. My youngest was a little uneasy, so he was on shore during the snorkel. My oldest was a fish in that water. It was such a blessing. The dole plantation was amazing as well, the sites, the sounds, the air. Mahalo From the Ovingtons

Unforgettable Oahu tour with Neive! Worth every single penny! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - We booked the "Oahu Small-Group Circle Island Tour with Turtle Snorkeling" with Hawaii Turtle Tours, and the experience was absolute magic! A special shout-out to our guide, Neive! He was amazing—showing us everything, explaining every single detail along the way, and making sure we had the best time possible. Because it’s a small group, the entire tour felt very personalized, comfortable, and smooth. The highlight was definitely snorkeling with the sea turtles—an incredible memory we'll hold onto forever! They provided all the snorkeling gear, and the hotel pickup/drop-off service in Waikiki was seamless. I highly recommend this tour and Neive to anyone visiting Oahu!
