Kayaking with Turtles - Hale’iwa, Oahu, Hawaii

A favorite activity of our trip to O'ahu was kayaking with sea turtles in Hale'iwa with Coastal Kayak Tours. The morning we arrived, the bay was filled with sea turtles feeding. Once we got on the water, we were surrounded by turtles. They would come up for air feet from our kayaks before diving down to feed. The experience was truly magical.

After our time with the turtles, we paddled up the Anahulu River while our guide shared with us the history of the Hawaiian people, their culture, and what made Hawaii what it is today. He also shared some online resources with us if you want to know more.
