Nature & Wildlife Tours in Hawaii

If you want to see Hawaii beyond the usual beaches, nature and wildlife tours are the way to go. From hiking through the ohia forests on the Big Island to kayaking alongside spinner dolphins off Maui’s coast, there’s a lot to experience if you know where to look.

Don’t miss the chance to visit the Nā Pali Coast on Kauai by boat, where rugged cliffs and native seabirds like the red-footed booby make the scenery unforgettable. And trust me, springtime on Oahu’s North Shore is special,turtle nesting season brings you face-to-face with honu basking on the sand.

Pro tip: book tours with smaller groups led by local guides who can tell you stories about the land and wildlife that don’t come in any guidebook. I like touring with folks who respect native Hawaiian culture and keep the impact light. And if you want to spot the rare Hawaiian monk seal, head to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands tours , those are tough to get but totally worth it! The islands have so many native plants and animals that it’s wild to pack such diversity into a handful of islands. Pack good hiking shoes and maybe snorkel gear,you’ll want to get close to the critters and plants that make Hawaii so unique.
