Custom Day Trip
Activity options shift with the seasons: from May through October, guests can choose from cage-free open-water shark diving, deep-sea fishing, and snorkeling. From November through April, whale watching replaces snorkeling as an option. The captain decides the order and time spent on each activity based on weather and the group's interests. All gear for the chosen activities is provided, along with safety equipment. If fishing is selected, the charter includes rods, reels, bait, and a fishing crew. Coolers and ice are on board, but guests are responsible for bringing their own food and drinks. Sunscreen is also recommended. The boat is reserved exclusively for one group for the entire day, so the experience is flexible and focused on that group alone. Guests must check in with the captain at the boat before departure; anyone who arrives late cannot be accommodated.
Fishing Charter
This fishing charter departs from Haleiwa on Oahu's North Shore and heads offshore for deep-sea trolling and bottom fishing. Anglers can expect to target wahoo, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, and marlin in open ocean waters. The charter runs during early morning and morning departure windows, and the full-day option allows the boat to cover more water and spend additional time on productive fishing grounds. All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided, along with ice and fish storage so the catch stays fresh. The crew is included in the booking. Shorter half-day options are available for those who want to get offshore without spending the entire day on the water, while the full-day trip suits anglers looking to maximize time on the fishing grounds. The trip is rated moderate in physical intensity. The meeting point is at the Haleiwa Road address in Haleiwa. Guests who book the full-day trip may bring home a portion of their catch, up to the weight limit noted in the tour details.
Pelagic (Cageless) Shark Dive
The Pelagic (Cageless) Shark Dive departs from Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu's North Shore. After checking in and getting fitted for gear, guests board the boat and receive a safety briefing from the crew before reaching the dive site. Once there, participants enter the open ocean and snorkel alongside sharks without a cage, guided by trained safety divers who stay in the water throughout the session. Guests float on the surface using fins, so expert swimming skills are not required. Snorkeling gear, mask, and fins are provided at no extra cost. Photography packages are available to purchase separately. Participants should arrive early to complete check-in and any waivers. Children under a certain age must be accompanied by an adult guardian. Pregnant guests beyond a certain stage of pregnancy should not participate. Sharks are wild animals, so sightings vary by trip.
Whale Watch Safari
The tour searches for migrating humpback whales, which visit Hawaiian waters from December through April to breed, give birth, and nurse their calves. Guests may witness behaviors such as breaching, spy-hopping, spouting, tail slapping, and pectoral fin waving, and whales sometimes approach the boat on their own for close encounters. The boat holds a small number of passengers, making the experience personal and relaxed rather than crowded. Dolphins, sea turtles, and seabirds can also appear during the trip. All guests must check in with the captain at the boat before departure. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated, as each charter runs on a strict schedule. Bring sunscreen, water, food or snacks, and secure any camera or phone you plan to bring. Sunglasses and a light jacket are also worth packing for time on the water.
Sunset Safari Cruise
The crew provides education on the historical and cultural significance of the North Shore while scanning the water for marine life. Hawaiian inshore waters are home to species such as green sea turtles, spinner dolphins, frigate birds, humpback whales and sharks, and the crew watches for signs of them throughout the trip. The tour can be booked as a private charter, and guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages aboard. Children are welcome on this tour. Guests should plan to check in with the captain at the boat before departure, as late arrivals cannot be accommodated. Pack sunscreen, a water bottle and a camera. The tour is weather-dependent, so it is worth confirming conditions before heading out. If the operator cancels due to hazardous weather or sea conditions, guests receive a full refund, rescheduling or company credit.
Sunset Whale Watching Tour
The Sunset Whale Watching Tour departs from Haleiwa on Oahu's North Shore, taking guests out on the water as the sun goes down. The tour operates aboard a boat, and the crew scouts for humpback whales, green sea turtles, and spinner dolphins while sharing cultural and historical context about the area. The small-group setting keeps the atmosphere calm and relaxed. All guests must check in with the captain at the boat well before departure. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated, as each charter runs on a fixed schedule. This tour suits anyone who wants to be on the ocean at sunset and hopes to spot marine wildlife common to Hawaiian waters. It fits travelers who prefer a quieter, small-group experience on the North Shore. Keep in mind that the check-in requirement is firm, so planning to arrive early is important.
Snorkel Tour
Go Adventure Hawaii runs this snorkel tour out of Haleiwa, taking guests by boat to a marine sanctuary off Oahu. During the ride out, the crew shares information about local marine wildlife, coastal ecosystems, and safe snorkeling practices. At the site, a guide leads the group over coral beds and rocky reef where fish, turtles, rays, eels, and octopi may be encountered. Snorkel gear and water are provided, so guests do not need to bring their own equipment. The tour operates on a seasonal schedule and carries a moderate physical intensity rating. Basic swimming ability is required. Guests must meet the captain at the boat ahead of departure, as late arrivals cannot be accommodated. Hotel pickup is not available, so independent transportation to the meeting point is necessary. The operator recommends bringing sunscreen, food, and any personal items that might be useful on the water.
