Why do travelers choose this tour?

The tour has multiple departure times, so you can either choose to start early in the morning or in the afternoon, between 7:00 AM and 2:30 PM depending on your schedule.
If you prefer to watch from a distance, you can book the ride-along option for kids ages 3 years old and above and enjoy the scenic views of the islands.
You can purchase professionally-taken GoPro videos and photos after the tour from the staff.
You can book the tour as a private charter for up to 18 passengers and bring more family & friends to the exciting underwater experience.
Local expert tips
- It’s best to go early in the morning as the ocean is a lot calmer and there is more marine life activity. Please check in 30 minutes prior to your tour start time.
- This activity has limited availability and should be booked two to three weeks in advance. Depending on the season, last minute booking might be available.
- The North Shore of Oahu will have large waves and rougher ocean conditions in the winter and is usually quite calm and flat in the summer. If you are planning on doing this tour in the winter, go as early as possible for the calmest ocean conditions.
- Recommend attire: Wear your swimsuit before boarding the boat, and bring a towel and a light jacket or coverup to wear during the return boat ride. Do not forget your sunscreen!
- If you are prone to seasickness, take your medication at least one hour prior to boarding the boat.
- Haleiwa and the North Shore offer a number of different restaurants and locally-owned stores for you to enjoy after your shark snorkel. If you would like to spend a full day on the North Shore, check out the Toa Luau as a great after-snorkel activity.
How to get there?
If you are traveling by car, you will want to get on the Interstate H1 West then continue to H2 North via Exit 8A. With moderate traffic, you will get to Haleiwa in an hour or so from the Waikiki and Honolulu area.Allow double the time if you are planning to go during the weekend or holidays as local residents will also be traveling to the North Shore.
For those traveling by bus, take the #52 or the #55 bus from Ala Moana Center, and depending on the time of day and the traffic, the trip can take anywhere from two to two and half hours.
