Local Private Tours

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Highlight of Our Hawaii Trip – An Unforgettable Day with Benjy! 🌺🏄‍♂️ WOW! Where do we even begin? Our day exploring the North Shore with Benjy was hands down the highlight of our entire Hawaii trip! Benjy is an absolute legend! His incredible knowledge of surfing, the local surf scene and the North Shore made the experience so much more special. Hearing his stories and learning about the surfing culture from someone so passionate and knowledgeable was just awesome! But what really sets Benjy apart is the kind of person he is. He genuinely cared about making our day everything we wanted it to be. Nothing was too much trouble, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. It felt more like spending the day with a great mate than being on a tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us around this beautiful part of Hawaii. Benjy, thank you for giving us a day we will remember for the rest of our lives! You made our trip truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone to show you the real North Shore, look no further than Benjy. We cannot recommend him highly enough! 🌊❤️🤙

Title: The Highlight of Our Entire Hawaii Vacation ….Raul was wonderful ! I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! We booked a private tour of Oahu for our family of five, including our three children, and I can honestly say this was the most enjoyable tour we have ever taken. Not just in Hawaii, but anywhere! It was hands down the highlight of our entire vacation… and we travel a lot. Our guide, Raul, was absolutely phenomenal. He was warm, personable, knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely wonderful with our children. Our kids are typically pretty shy around people they don’t know, but within minutes of getting into the car, they were chatting away with Raul like they had known him forever. By the end of the day, they were all the best of friends! As a parent, that alone made the experience so special my kids usually don’t enjoy anything haha . We visited some of the most breathtaking places on Oahu, enjoyed incredible scenery, and even got to swim alongside a giant sea turtle! Raul knew how to spot them at like every stop we made- insane! Every stop was memorable, but what really set this experience apart was Raul himself. He made the entire day feel like we were exploring the island with a good friend rather than taking a guided tour. Having a private tour made such a difference, especially with three children. We never felt rushed, and the experience felt completely tailored to our family. Raul was incredibly attentive and made sure everyone, adults and children alike, was having a wonderful time. Even though it was 1 day I feel like I got a real authentic feel for Hawaii. Best money we spent in Hawaii… seriously. You will not regret it. We’ve traveled quite a bit as a family, and I don’t say this lightly: this was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had while traveling. Of everything we did during our time in Maui and Oahu, this was our favorite day. Worth every penny and then some. If you’re visiting Oahu, I cannot recommend this private tour enough. And if you can request Raul, absolutely do it! He is a gem, and we will remember this day for years to come. Thank you, Raul, for giving our family such beautiful memories!

AMAZING! Don’t think about it book it! Hawai’i turtle tours gave my family an amazing private tour and we had the best day. My MIL was visiting and this was honestly the best way to show her every amazing thing that Oahu had to offer! Our tour guide Benji was beyond informative, supper funny, caring, patient and most of all he made memories that my MIL will NEVER forget. Tour was 4+ hours It was only 3 of us and very personalized to what we wanted which I appreciate! The private tour is an amazing option if you want a chill laid back atmosphere and one in one touring. Reach out and secure your spot! Pricing is great for all you get!

Nevin was the bomb! He gave such great history and lessons as he showed us around. Super smart! Would definitely book with him again!

Omg a must do!!! The guide was so fun!! The driver was very kind and was so focused. The Turtles glided so swiftly through right next to us. They were everywhere!! Amazing the best tour I’ve done. We travel a lot!! Omg Thank you so much . The person we called into to book was so helpful and talked to my wife for almost an hour just great people. What an experience. Thank you Hawai’i turtle tours

Our private tour with Hawaii Turtle Tours was fantastic! Benji was very communicative and informative when scheduling the trip. We were a group of 4 adults, 2 teens, 2 10 year olds and a 5 year old. Our driver, Koa, was excellent. He is a local born Hawaiian and provided some great knowledge about Oahu and the areas we were seeing - as well as a lot of Hawaiian language. Our main goal was to see turtles. The surf while we were there prevented us from being able to snorkel with turtles. Laniakea beach (turtle beach) was covered with tourists, but not turtles due to the surf - but Koa took us off the beaten path to make sure we saw them. We also went to Waimea Valley to swim in the falls. Our smaller kids were getting tired by this time, so he suggested taking the tram up to save their little legs. This was a great suggestion. We were able to spend more time swimming in the falls without wearing out the kids walking up the trail. Waimea Falls is absolutely stunning and is a must do!! We drove down North Shore and saw all the famous beaches - Sunset Beach and Banzaii Pipeline. Stopped and watched some surfers. Koa had tons of knowledge about surfing and North Shore, which was really interesting. We then made the trip to Turtle Bay for snorkeling. Mole was our snorkel guide. We had some experienced snorkelers and first timers - he was really helpful and patient with the kids! We felt very comfortable and safe with our young kids snorkeling in the water. Saw tons of fish! Last we stopped at Dole Plantation, where we had lunch. One of our party really wanted to see Dole, so we were glad to fit in. However, overall Dole was not impressive - we would skip that if we did it again. Overall this was a phenomenal experience and I highly recommend!

Great for phone calls and texts . Showed up early to pick us up. Mike and John made sure we were taken care of , and where we needed to be on our trip. They went over and above in helping to get tickets to an event that we couldn’t . Totally top notch people and company. They are the standard by which all travel companies should be judged.

Wonderful day and tour. Would do it again. Nevin was fun and informative.

So much fun!! Nevin is a great tour guide!! He made sure we saw all that was on our list and made it so interesting. He's a very patient, humorous and knowledgeable young man. The best stop was Turtle Beach. We had a large group and everyone was able to see turtles 🐢

Highly recommended!!! We had 11 in our group with ages from 10 to 70s. This experience was a hit with every person. Kevin was great! He was very knowledgeable about all the sights we passed or stopped to see. From snorkeling with sea turtles to stopping at a surf shop, he was so accommodating. Days before the tour, they checked in with us for any requests. This is a definite must do!

Greatest experience ever! Nevin did an amazing job at showing us around the island, being flexible with requests, and super knowledgeable of the history and locations. Even with Mother Nature being questionable at some points, we were able to stop at all of the important stops that we had requested, along with more!

Had an amazing time, great snacks along the way, and saw three turtles in Turtle Bay! Justin was an amazing tour guide and the history of the island and the Aloha Spirit!

What a great tour!!! Mike was funny, informative & a great tour guide!! Saw so many beautiful sites around Oahu, even got to snorkel & saw sea turtles ~ this company had a lifeguard & snorkel extraordinaire ~ Mole, while we were snorkeling which was extremely helpful if you were were just learning to snorkel. Fantastic shrimp lunch & Raul was a great bus driver!! Best tour ever!!! So much fun!

This trip was fantastic. We visited many lookout points where we could appreciate the views and take pictures. Our guide, Sevas pointed out many hikes, trails and beaches along the route that he recommended going to. We did this tour on our 2nd day in Oahu and it serves as a great guide if you plan to venture out of Waikiki later on with a rental car. Sevas also does surfing lessons and offered to connect with me, for those who are interested. Last but not least the turtle snorkeling was unreal. They came up very close, only downside was that we couldn’t spend all day there. We also spent just enough time at notable locations that I wouldn’t have planned around myself (like the Dole Plantation) 9/10 experience overall.

Justin was an absolute delight! So friendly and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure to chat with. It was such a great experience

Wonderful tour with a great tour guide: Sevass. Highly recommend for anyone eager to learn about life in Hawaii outside Waikiki.

24 of us Justin made our trip unforgettable full of wonderful information and very pleasant complement our family togetherness

Great way to get the most out of your trip! Justin was amazing we learned so much about the island and so many fun facts! Highly recommend this to families and friends traveling!

Great photos and nice experience. Justin was a very knowledgeable tour guide. I would recommend to others visiting Hawaii.

Justin is an amazing guide. Full of information and enthusiasm. First time in Hawaii and can’t imagine a better experience.

The tour was amazing, we had a lot of fun. Justin made the tour fun and told us a lot of facts and stories about the land. He let us take alot of photos and didn’t rush us when we were taking them.

One of the best excursions we ever made! Our guide Nevin was excellent. Being born on Hawaii he gave us tons of interesting and insider informations during a 7-hours-trip on Oahu, showed us the main spots, a good place for a swim and for having lunch. And in between he played the ukulele very well. Not only we 2 Germans but all people in the bus had a really great day. Good job Nevin.

Fabulous Tour. Our guide Justin was so knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a great time at all the stops and seeing the turtles up close in their natural habitat was awesome

Our two daughters, ages 10 and 8, and our 3-year-old son had an amazing experience on this extraordinary tour of the North Shore, which included a breathtaking visit to the beautiful Waimea waterfall and botanical gardens, savoring a mouth-watering shrimp meal at Giovanni's, and some incredible poke (we can't wait to come back for this), swimming with the turtles, stopping for a pineapple Dole Whip at the Dole Plantation, and finishing with a delicious frozen coffee from the Green World Coffee Farm. Justin, your passion and knowledge as a tour guide were fantastic! Thank you for creating an unforgettable experience for our family, especially for our young child with T1D - your thoughtfulness and care were appreciated. And thanks to Mole and son for helping with the snorkeling! We can't wait to return next year to Hawaii and create more memories! Mahalo! 🐢

Wow! What a great day. Highly recommend. Our tour guide Sevass was the best ... awesome personality. He made the trip twice as good.

What an amazing tour! Thanks to Justin who was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Justin made sure we were all safe and had the best time especially swimming with turtles. If you’re booking a trip in Hawaii this is the trip to do and the company to go with!

We had an amazing full day guided tour starting from Waikiki to the North Shore in Honolulu Hawaii. Our main attractions included visiting a shrimp and macadamia farm, the Dole Plantation, snorkeling, and lunch. We started first thing in the morning as adventurists wanting to explore more of the state besides the tourist areas. We ended our afternoon as travel companions who spent the day laughin, creating memories and loving our experiences with Kurt and Harry. We learned the word ohona when we first boarded the bus. Thanks for teaching us about the history and making us feel at home and cared for in Hawaii.

Nevin and Noel were our tour guides on this trip and I can attest to their ability to provide us with a smooth running, informative and overall enjoyable experience touring the island of Oahu.

Mike was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. He made the day exciting and rewarding. The driver (he called him his cousin) was a wonderful and safe driver.

Went on the north shore tour with Justin and Marvolois Justin was very informative was a great trip Swimming was great with the turtles

Jason was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the island, and it's history. He was very patient with my cousin, who is a senior, and walks with a cane. He made our tour a pleasure and memorable time, can't wait to be back.

Young Knowledgeable Nevin was our guide, a local who made the tripschedule to avoid the big bus schedules. That made all the stops all to ourselves, the turtle snorkeling was good, turtles were at the beach. Informative tour of the island.

Great private tour, Justin did a great job, provided by information with historical facts. We went to a beach that wasn’t crowded and saw great turtles and even a seal. Dole plantation, macadamia nut plantation, fruit stand, north shore, food truck paradise, and so many landmarks. Great value for the price.

Great tour run by Kurt and Harry !!! Was super fun and learnt a lot !!! Really enjoyed snorkelling and seeing the turtles aswell as the pineapple dole whip !!!

We had a fantastic time doing an all-day tour around the island. Gregory was the perfect guide, from answering the volley of questions from our party of seven to volunteering interesting information about the fragile Hawaiian ecosystem. His recommendations for food and other stops were spot on. Even though it was raining, he made all the stops interesting and fun. Thank you!

the views were amazing our tour guides Kurt and Harry were great Kurt made the tore so much fun and had tons of info on each place we visited definitely recommended

We had an exceptional time touring the island with Kurt and Harry! They made sure we all had a true Hawaii Ohuna experience. I will cherish the memories with my family for a lifetime!. Kurt taught us about the history of the island and Hawaiian culture while taking us to all the scenic sites! If you’re looking for a great time with your tour bus ‘rocking’ these are the two gentlemen you want!

Sevass and Sonny were excellent! They were extremely kind, knowledgeable, professional, and patient. We will definitely recommend your tour to others. We traveled from all over the U.S. to have our Powell Family Reunion in Hawaii and you all made it exceptionally phenomenal! Mahalo!

The tour guide, Seabeas, and the driver, Tuttie, were extremely friendly , energetic and informative. The tour itself was perfectly laid out with very interesting and fun sites to visit, shop and play! Swim with the turtles / snorkeling experience was super cool. Excellent tour for any age. I highly recommend the tour AND this company to anyone that plans to visit Oahu / Hawaii in general.

Greg was an awesome tour guide and brought us to amazing lookout spots along with great food stops where we could try enjoy the culture of the island. We had a crew of 9 people including two children, and we were all entertained the whole day!

Kurt and Harry were amazing. We had a great experience. I definitely recommend this tour. Kurt is funny and made sure to provide us with a great experience. I definitely enjoyed every single things we did on the trip. Also, Kurt is funny and will make this adventure worth it!

Tour was great and very informative! Mike was an amazing tour guide and kept us laughing the whole time! Would definitely recommend

This was an amazing tour I would recommend to anyone. I have been to the island many times, but I was able to visit places that I had not seen before. Everyone had a great time including my 3 year old son. The driver and the tour guide were great and made sure that everyone on the trip was enjoying themselves. They even had great recommendations about food and other places to go for the rest of our stay. The van was very comfortable and nice. I get motion sick, but I made sure to sit towards the front and had no issues at all (thanks Justin for being a great driver).

We had an amazing day with Johnny Aloha. He was treating us as a family. We were lucky to get everything and be everywhere without any waiting and any fuzz. Highly recommended.

We went and had a great time, saw some really nice areas and landmarks, got some great pictures, and got to see more than a couple Honus (sea turtles). Our guide was Neven and he was very informative, and had a good energy about him. Would highly recommend.

The tour itself was amazing but I never ever experienced to be in a tour with a bunch of rude and unthoughtful people. They made the day very painful !

My family and I had a great time with Johnny Aloha! He was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the island, friendly, and funny. He went out of his way to accommodate requests and I would definitely recommend him and this tour!

This was amazing we did a private tour. Johnny was great, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Hands down the best tour.

My favorite part of the trip was the cultural and historical narrative Justin shared while giving us the scenic circle city tour of the island.
