Whale Watching + Marine Life Tour
The Whale Watching + Marine Life Tour departs from Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu's North Shore, taking passengers out by boat to remote marine areas where dolphins, sharks, and sea turtles can be spotted. The boat is described as fast and smooth, and a crew guides the trip to wildlife locations along the North Shore. Whale sightings depend on the season, so travelers visiting outside of winter should expect dolphins, sharks, and turtles to be the main draw. Plan to arrive early to allow time for check-in. Bring swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen. GoPro video footage is available for an additional cost if guests want a recording of the trip. The tour operates out of Haleiwa Harbor, so arranging transportation to that side of the island ahead of time is worth considering.
Cage-free Shark Tour
The Cage-free Shark Tour takes snorkelers into open water off the North Shore of Oahu to swim alongside sharks without a cage between them and the animals. The trip departs from Haleiwa and is led by experienced watermen and safety divers. The tour carries a moderate physical rating. Mask and fins are provided. Guests should bring swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen. Shoe size is needed at the time of booking. Anyone who wants to come along without snorkeling can purchase a ride-along ticket separately. GoPro video footage is also available for purchase on request. Arriving early before the scheduled departure is required, so plan travel to Haleiwa accordingly. No hotel pickup is offered and no food or drinks are included, so eating and drinking beforehand is a good idea.
North Shore Sunset Tour
The boat is fast and agile, carrying passengers along the Hawaiian coast as the sun goes down. Families and groups looking to relax on the water in the evening will find this tour a comfortable fit, and young children are welcome aboard. Guests should plan to arrive early, before the scheduled departure. A light jacket is recommended, as the evening breeze on the water can be cool. Bringing a camera is a good idea, and GoPro video packages are available to purchase on request. Food and drinks are not provided, so plan accordingly. There is no hotel pickup, so guests are responsible for getting themselves to the meeting point at Kewalo Basin Harbor. The tour requires a minimum number of guests to operate, and if that threshold is not met, travelers will be offered the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.
North Shore Private Boat Charter
The North Shore Private Boat Charter departs from Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu's North Shore and takes guests out to remote islands and marine life sanctuaries by boat. Along the way, there is a chance to spot Hawaiian sea turtles, spinner dolphins, sharks, humpback whales, and tropical fish. Guests can swim or snorkel at stops along the route. The charter is private, and the itinerary can be tailored to the group's preferences. An experienced local crew is on board throughout. The trip suits groups marking a special occasion such as a birthday or corporate outing, as well as families or friends looking to spend time on the water together. Guests meet at Haleiwa Harbor. Pack swimwear, sunscreen, and a camera. Gratuity is not included. GoPro video recording is available for an extra cost on request. Arrive early to allow time to check in before departure.
