Circle Oahu in one packed day: Diamond Head, Pali views, North Shore turtle snorkeling, Dole time, and included snacks. Big but worth it.

“At the last minute, I got switched to a different company for my tour. There was no Pali lookout-There was no water., There were no snacks My meeting point was different, 40 minute shaved off of the trip, and everything was confusing. In addition to this, just confirming everything took four tries. I set up two appointments and nobody ever called me. I ended up having to chase down a confirmation.”

“Boat leaves directly from the little dock next to Outrgger Resort. There were 11 of us and 3 staff … The captain, the guide Peyton and another life guard. I wore a wet suit top( $10) my husband went without. As soon as we entered the water we were greeted by these gentle giants as if they had been waiting for us. They were so big and came so close , probably 10 feet at least… you stay in the water for about 25 minutes which was just right…. Boat ride is only about 3 minutes which was great … Highly recommended”
