Good to know
- This is one example. Destinations and timing can be freely tailored to your wishes.
- Sea turtles are wild animals, so sightings can't be guaranteed.
- Popular Laniakea ('Turtle') Beach has tour-van access restrictions, so on the day your driver will take you to the best nearby viewing spot.
- Charter vehicles can't drive onto Kailua / Lanikai beaches due to regulations, so access is by e-bike from Kailua town.
Pickup
Pickup / drop-off at hotels around Waikiki and Ala Moana.
