2 Hour Sunset Cruise
North Shore Catamaran Charters runs this sunset sail out of Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu's North Shore. Guests board the Ho'o Nanea and head out on the water as the light shifts and the sky changes color. The cruise runs during summer and fall months, while a sunset whale watching version of the trip takes place during winter and spring, so the nature of the outing differs depending on the season visited. Soft drinks and water are included, and guests are welcome to bring their own beverages as well, since a cooler is available on board. The evening hours on the water bring calm winds and a changing sky, giving passengers a chance to step away from the pace of daily life and take in the open ocean air. The meeting point is Haleiwa Harbor, so travelers should confirm their route before heading out.
Afternoon Snorkel Tour & Sail
The Afternoon Snorkel Tour and Sail departs from Hale'iwa on Oahu's North Shore and heads out along the coast aboard the Ho'o Nanea, a catamaran run by North Shore Catamaran Charters. The tour operates during summer months and sails to snorkel spots near Waimea Bay, where sea turtles are commonly seen both near shore and in the water. On many trips, Spinner dolphins approach the boat and swim alongside it. All snorkel equipment is provided on board, so there is no need to bring any, though guests are welcome to bring their own. After time in the water, a cold drink is waiting on board. Guests should bring swimwear, sunscreen and a towel. The meeting point is in Hale'iwa, and the difficulty level is rated easy.
Morning Sail & Snorkel
Morning Sail & Snorkel takes guests out on a catamaran along the North Shore coast of Oahu, departing from Hale'iwa. Spinner dolphins sometimes approach the boat and swim alongside it. Snorkel equipment is provided on board, though guests may bring their own. After time in the water, everyone returns to the boat for a deli lunch and a cold drink. The tour runs during the summer months and is rated low intensity, making it a comfortable choice for people who are not strong swimmers but have basic swimming ability. Guests should come prepared with swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and a camera. The meeting point is in Hale'iwa on Oahu's North Shore. If the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, guests receive a full refund. Weather conditions are assessed at the boat dock on the day of the trip.
Sunset Whale Watch
The Sunset Whale Watch departs from Hale'iwa on Oahu's North Shore, taking guests out on the catamaran Ho'o Nanea during the evening hours. The trip combines whale watching with a sailing experience timed around sunset, when the winds tend to calm and the light shifts across the open water. North Shore Catamaran Charters runs this outing for anyone who wants to get out on the ocean and take in the conditions the North Shore is known for at that time of day. The sailing environment is described as relaxing, with the open sky and ocean air as the main draws alongside the chance to spot whales. The tour meets at Hale'iwa, so travelers arriving from other parts of Oahu should plan for the drive to the North Shore. Comfortable, casual clothing suited to being on the water is a practical choice. The operator may cancel due to weather, with final decisions made at the boat dock, and guests receive a full refund in that case.
