Diamond Head State Monument
The first lookout we visit is an elevated view perched on the eastern side of Waikiki’s famous Diamond Head Volcano, This lookout grants us a great opportunity for pictures of the south eastern coastline of Oahu, with notable sights as far as Hanauma bay and Maui on a clear day.

5.00Amazing experience with Hawaii Turtle Tours! Mike (along with our driver Noel) showed us several great areas of Oahu and shared so much knowledge of the beautiful island. Mole was the lifeguard at our snorkeling spot and went out of his way to make sure those who had never snorkeled before were comfortable and everyone was safe. We learned a lot and had the incredible opportunity to swim with turtles.
Well worth doing!

5.00Mike was a terrific guide. Our grandchildren loved their time with the turtles and we all appreciated everything we learned about the entire island.
Excellent tour! Could be tweaked a little to be better.

5.00Great overall trip, Seavass was an excellent guide, with Uncle Johnny being the underappreciated show-stealer. Mini bus was nice and air conditioned, and the lifeguard at the snorkeling beach was both patient and all around experienced teacher. Two small critiques: 1) there was one stop that was pretty much just a 20 min tourist trap, could have done without that; also, lunch was at a shrimp shack that had good food, but was 5 min down the road from some amazing food trucks...would have preferred the food truck stop...
The best adventure in Oahu!

5.00What an amazing & educational adventure! Our tour guide (Justin) was the most knowledgeable tour guide we have ever had! We ventured to the North Shore, followed by tasting macadamia nuts of all flavors and some local shops and fruit stands. Followed by snorkeling with the turtles and the Dole Plantation for some Dole whip! I recommend this tour (and tour guide) to anyone coming to Hawaii. You will learn all about the culture, the history of the land, history anc so much more!
