Oahu Turtle Snorkel Tour

Tour Description

The tour officially begins with your guide arriving to pick you up at your hotel or designated pick up location in Waikiki. From there you and your fellow guests will be taken to the famous Diamond Head Lookout which is perched on the eastern side of the Diamond Head Volcano. This lookout offers the perfect vantage point to gaze at the incredible Oahu coastline. After leaving the lookout, you will head to the Halona Blowhole, which is an ancient lava tube that opens into the ocean. When the water conditions are right, the waves crash against the sea cliffs which creates an immense amount of pressure inside the lava tube and forces water to shoot 30’ into the air.

Following the coastline along the sea cliffs of Waimanalo towards the North Shore will take you right past the Makapuu Point Lookout from which you can see Manana Island off in the distance. A quick detour will bring you to a tropical farm that specializes in macadamia nuts, coffee and Hawaiian chocolate among other local treats. After a tasting at the farm, your guide will continue along the coastline into the Kualoa Valley Mountain Range and then to Chinaman’s Hat, a famous rock formation seen in several blockbuster Hollywood films.

Lunch will be served at another well known local farm located at the base of the Ko’olau Mountain Range. On the menu are mouthwatering delicacies including but not limited to garlic shrimp, coconut shrimp, and Kalua pork. After lunch, it is finally time to head to Turtle Beach and jump in the water with one of Hawaii’s most beloved sea creatures. As a final treat, your guide will take you to the historic Dole Pineapple Plantation to get a tour of the facilities, pick up souvenirs and of course, enjoy a cold and creamy pineapple Dole Whip! Depending on traffic, return time to Waikiki is expected to be between 4:00pm – 4:30pm.
