Hawaii Turtle Tours – North Shore Circle Island Adventure

You can sample Hawaiian treats at Tropical Farms Macadamia Nut Farm, stop for lunch on your own at a North Shore shrimp truck and enjoy fresh island fruit along the way.

Later, the tour reaches Turtle Beach, where snorkel gear is provided for the chance to get in the water near honu.
