Not only are its waters so clear, warm, and pristine, but the island’s underwater views and abundant marine life are definitely something else, too. Fortunately for you, there are reliable tour operators such as North Shore Shark Adventures that can accompany you as you explore and delight in Oahu’s untainted and spectacular seas! Safely operating and has given the best underwater adventures to travellers since 2001, North Shore Shark Adventures offers the Turtle Snorkel Tour–a fun 2-hour snorkel tour with Hawaii’s precious green sea turtles and, of course, a whole lot more!

North Shore Shark Adventures’ Turtle Snorkel Tour departs from Haleiwa Harbor via the 36-foot Kai Ou or the 42-foot Abunai. Both are well-maintained and high-powered vessels, installed with cushioned seats for passenger comfort. 

Thus, during the cruise to the spots where a great number of turtles frequent, you and your companions will surely have a relaxing and comfortable time relishing the Hawaiian sun, the warm breeze, and the spectacular views above water. Upon arrival at the turtle site, and if weather and water conditions permit, your snorkeling adventure shall begin! North Shore Shark Adventures will provide snorkel gear, but you are, of course, free to bring your own. Once you have the proper gear on, and once the crew has given the necessary pre-snorkel dive briefing and instructions, get into the water and be one with nature! You will most certainly have an amazing time getting up close with lots of honu, or green sea turtles, and many other sea creatures such as different species of reef fish. Another amazing experience is your stop-over at a turtle cleaning station, where you will take pleasure in the turtles’ graceful movements and the wonders of how nature and marine life work. The views are absolutely breathtaking here, too. No wonder this was the exact location where the popular TV series “Lost” was filmed!

North Shore Shark Adventures’ Turtle Snorkel Tour lasts for approximately two hours, and trust us, this is going to be the best two hours of your stay in Oahu. With the incredible views and the equally incredible animal encounter experience that Oahu’s north shore offers, this is surely what will complete your Hawaiian getaway!
