Turtle Tours Guam offers a number of different types of tours from more traditional dolphin watching to a jungle river cruise. I opted to take their Eco Jungle Hike which costs $65 and lasts about 5 hours. This tour has two different itineraries with the tour I took occurring on odd numbered days and a different tour on even numbers. My tour consisted of being picked up at my hotel in a big yellow school bus that has been reemployed for Turtle. As with most tours on Guam the primary participants are from Japan so most of the tour was conducted in Japanese. However, our tour guide and driver made sure to tell me all of the same information (I was the only English speaker on the tour) and were very sensitive to make sure I did not feel left out. The tour itself first goes to a couple of vista sights high above the town to be able to get some good photos. Then the trip goes to the other side of the island to an area known as the keyhole caves. Here the hike begins with a major uphill climb over very uneven surface (take the water that is offered) and ends up at the caves. The opening into the caves is extremely small (major challenge for my 6 ft body) but then widens out and the guide gives some explanation of what we were seeing as we worked our way deeper into the cave. It is very humid in the caves and the footing is very rough with difficult footholds and climbs so not for those who do not wish a pretty strenuous physical workout. After the cave, we then hiked a bit more to some other overlooks. Once back on the bus we headed to a scenic spot to see waves crashing into the coast. Finally ended up at a restaurant for lunch (Jeff's Pirate Cove) which consisted of a very good cheeseburger and fries. The other tour on even days is apparently even a bit more challenging with a couple of hour hike that goes to a dam in a different part of the island. Overall very good experience but be prepared for a workout.

The guides are quite informative and all staff are super nice.
In addition, since you are in the valley, you think the food can’t be good. But the pork and chicken are just cooked just about right. Not tough, now raw
Unexpectedly delicious
Valley is small but with some “house” , farm, and lake. Feel like painting.
Awesome experience

The staff, as noted elsewhere, is friendly and helpful. We took the dolphin viewing tour. The boat was clean, spacious, and they even provide donuts and iced tea for snacks. You can chat with the captain if you want. He's amiable and knowledgeable, as are everyone else involved with this tour. Unfortunately, there weren't any dolphins out when we went, but honestly that's not the fault of Turtle Tours. To their credit, if you don't get to see dolphins, they'll let you reschedule for another day (for free). Therefore, schedule this attraction for the first or second day of your stay on Guam because if you end up needing to reschedule, they might be booked for the next couple of days and will only be able to offer you a second tour after that. For that reason, we couldn't reschedule, but again that's no fault of Turtle Tours. You may feel seasick on the boat if the waves are choppy, so be prepared for that. I felt queasy for a little while, but it passed. Also, bring your own face mask and snorkel. Otherwise, you'll have to pick a set out of a tank of water and who knows how clean they are. I don't know if you get to swim with dolphins (should they show up), but I doubt it since this is the open sea. I'm sure you'd have to sign some kind of waver for that (and we weren't asked to sign anything). Towards the end of the tour, they bring the boat closer to the bay so you can snorkel for a few minutes (see my advice about masks and snorkels above), but really it isn't long enough to enjoy. Maybe ten minutes when it ought to be 20 or 30. If you don't want to snorkel around, you can fish for tuna, but I didn't see anybody in our tour group doing that. All in all a great day, even without dolphins. The sea was a blue I had never seen before in my life and just being out there was worth the price. Highly recommended.

We only got the chance to take their City Tour, but it was a very good experience for us. Their tours cost much less than those offered by the other tour companies, but nothing was compromised. We were taken around in a bug bus, and the tour guide was very friendly and took good care of everyone even though there was a big number of different groups who joined the tour. We saw the major tourist spots around the city, and we learned a lot about beautiful Guam. Highly recommended!

We took the Adventure River Cruise. The boat captain and his assistant were friendly and well-informed. The cruise was comfortable and pleasant. Explore the jungles along the Talofofo and Ugum Rivers on this half-day tour. Feed the land crabs and various types of fish Tilapia and Cat fish, passed the produce plantation with over 7,000 pineapples among other produce, and stopped to walk through the ancient Chamorro village dating back to 210 B.C. Our tour guide explained the different trees and their traditional uses for soap, weaving, sailing, medicines, fire, and eating while discussing the history of the village we were walking through. After the guided tour, Adventure River Boats staff provided drinks and a fire-starting demonstration. The day continued with a time to ride the carabao, view unique Guam animals, and fish in the fish ponds with provided bamboo rods. We were there for about three and a half hours. I would do this again but perhaps kayak the next time! Thanks for a delightful day! A great experience on Guam! excellent service highly recommend.

Rosie was my SUP instructor today. She is brilliant. She took many photos of me and she is all the time sunny, friendly and smiley! She is very helpful and showed me a lot of interesting stuff that I had not seen before. She showed me the very heavy Paddle board and the old house in the Village of Latte. The most amazing thing was she ate the cherries that were fresh from the trees and it was amazing.... Thanks for pointing out the bananas and the big crab and even the mud on the way up the river..... I made a record of paddling for 3 hours, cannot believe!! It is good exercise! Trust me, there is far lots of fun paddling than doing the cruise. Feel super happy and big thanks to Rosie , love everything today.

The kayaking trip is a lot of fun. On top of kayaking down the river, the tour includes a stop at an ancient Chamorro village, a delicious lunch, and a demonstration showing how to make a fire using two sticks and a coconut husk. Our guide, Brad, was excellent--very friendly and made the tour even more enjoyable. On that note, everyone we encountered (office staff, the guy who did the fire demonstration, etc.) was really nice. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because there was a slight mix-up with our reservation. I made the reservation for a particular Saturday, but we didn't make it because we got lost trying to find the location. I immediately called to reschedule. But when we showed up on our rescheduled day, they weren't expecting us. Apparently whomever we rescheduled with dropped the ball and didn't take note of our new reservation. Nonetheless, even though they weren't expecting us they were very accommodating and made sure we had a great experience. We will definitely give this company's other tours a try and maybe even go kayaking again! The prices are a bit steep if you're on a tight budget. But you really get your money's worth.

The city tour took us to the main sights of Hagatna and ended with a visit to Two Lovers Point. I was the only non-Japanese guest on the tour. The guide explained everything in Japanese and then translated for me.

Compared to my first trip four years ago, Turtle Tours has decidedly improved their information and experience. Ben and Andy were great--educational and entertaining! We had a fun, informative cruise down two rivers, fed the land crabs and various types of fish, passed the produce plantation with over 7,000 pineapples among other produce, and stopped to walk through the ancient Chamorro village dating back to 210 B.C. Our tour guide explained the different trees and their traditional uses for soap, weaving, sailing, medicines, fire, and eating while discussing the history of the village we were walking through. After the guided tour, Turtle Tours provided drinks and a fire-starting demonstration.

We took the Adventure River Cruise. The boat captain and his assistant were friendly and well-informed. The cruise was comfortable and pleasant. My husband and I were the only English-speaking passengers and both the boat guides and the tour guide with the Japanese tour took the time to repeat everything in English for us. We learned a lot about the natural vegetation and fish. The land animals were shy, but the fish were plentiful. The stop at the Latte stones and cultural exhibit was wonderful--the young man on the boat gave us a personal tour of the grounds, explaining the plants and trees and the uses the Chamorro people have for them. We enjoyed the weaving demonstrations and it was fun starting a fire using sticks. A great experience on Guam!
