ISLAND TOUR WITH TURTLE BAY PICKUP

The Ultimate Private Circle Island Tour from Turtle Bay

An Exclusive New Experience for Guests Seeking a Scenic, Exciting Day Around Oʻahu from Turtle Bay

If you’re staying on the North Shore of Oʻahu—whether it’s at Turtle Bay Resort, the nearby Ritz-Carlton Residences, or a private villa—you now have access to something few travelers do: a full-circle private island tour starting right from your doorstep.

This brand-new tour is designed for small groups of up to four guests looking to experience the island in a more intimate, immersive way. With hotel pick-up and drop-off from Turtle Bay, this isn’t your average bus tour. It’s a private, expertly guided journey around all of Oʻahu’s top scenic locations, lookouts, and cultural landmarks—without the crowds or rigid schedule.

Why This Tour Stands Out

Most circle island tours depart from Waikīkī, making it inconvenient for those staying in the quiet luxury of Oʻahu’s North Shore. This new Turtle Bay private island tour changes that—offering you a seamless experience from start to finish.

You’ll travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned van with a friendly, knowledgeable local guide who knows the island inside and out. Along the way, you’ll stop at iconic locations like Chinaman’s Hat, Byodo-In Temple, Makapuʻu Lookout, and the Dole Plantation—plus enjoy local treats like a fresh malasada from Leonard’s Bakery.

The tour ends with something truly special: a swim at a stunning waterfall in Waimea Valley. It’s the perfect grand finale to a day of adventure, history, and natural beauty.
