The North Shore of Oahu has more whale sightings than any other location on Oahu, and cruising along this coast is almost like taking a trip back in time, with a panorama resembling a turn-of-the-century painting. The stage is set for a spectacular show – last season there were over 700 sightings and two double breeches in the Haleiwa Harbor Channel. Your friendly captain will share the history of the island with you as he searches for these majestic creatures. Whale sightings are guaranteed, or you get a free pass to cruise again!
Join the friendly crew of the "Ho'o Nanea" as you take in the picturesque beauty of the famous North Shore. You will be escorted by expert Captain Don Germain and experienced crew members who will describe and explain Hawaii's diverse marine life, reef ecosystems and the geography of the Hawaiian Islands in a sea captains way.
You will never forget the breathtaking beauty of the ocean from sacred Kaena Point to Waimea Bay and the spectacular views of the Ko'olau mountain range. It's great entertainment for the whole family. The emphasis of this trip is sightseeing along the spectacular North Shore coast. Guests seeking a more adventurous ride can enjoy spray from the blue water when seated in the nets at the front of the boat. Don't be surprised if you are visited by some friendly dolphins.
After an awesome ride up the coast you will enjoy deli lunch. Refreshments are served throughout the sail and you are welcome to bring your own beverages for the tour as well. Cool Hawaiian breezes will relax your soul as you make your way back down the coast.
