    Crappy business ethics.

    Looking forward to this tour all vacation just to have it cancelled the night before for lack of enough paying customers. Would NOT put your trust in them. Recommend renting a car and saving some money and headache.

    Fun but very long day

    Very long day but lots of good stuff packed into one trip. Because it’s a large bus, have to wait for everyone to come back and most people don’t know how to come back on time. So waited a lot for everyone to get back to the bus. Also did not stop at 2 of the stops on the itinerary.

    Do your research before booking your island tour

    Although you get a tour of the island, there were too many stops and too little information about the island. Many stops were just money making opportunities, and other stops deserved more time and explanation. Our guide was too interested in selling the materialistic side of the island. Some people like us have travelled a long way to be here (UK), and learned nothing

    Awesome Trip!

    This excursion was awesome! It’s an all day affair with plenty of stops. Dylan & driver were excellent. Stories were told thru out the bus ride! I highly recommend this trip!

    Great day out to see the island

    A long day but great to get a flavour of the island. Great driver and guide. Less time at the coffee plantation and more on the beach with the turtles Great video made during the trip

    Next Level Oahu Circle Island and Swim w/Turtles Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.

    How much does Next Level Oahu Circle Island and Swim w/Turtles Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Next Level Oahu Circle Island and Swim w/Turtles Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.

    Is Next Level Oahu Circle Island and Swim w/Turtles Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 66 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Next Level Oahu Circle Island and Swim w/Turtles Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Next Level Oahu Circle Island and Swim w/Turtles Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Next Level Oahu Circle Island and Swim w/Turtles Tour?

    +

    Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Next Level Oahu Circle Island and Swim w/Turtles Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oahu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Oahu Small-Group Circle Island Tour with Turtle Snorkeling, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oahu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oahu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
