What to expect

Bring your friends and family on a private snorkel cruise along Oahu's North Shore, and experience some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii while swimming among beautiful marine sanctuaries filled with colorful tropical fish, green sea turtles and more!

Come on board the best private boat charter on the North Shore of Oahu, and spend the morning or afternoon swimming and snorkeling in some of the most breathtakingly beautiful spots in all of Hawaii. Your expert local captain and crew will be on hand to share their knowledge of the marine wildlife and coral ecosystems as you explore the ocean surrounded by tropical and native Hawaiian fish, and perhaps even some sea turtles, manta rays, and eels! This budget and family-friendly BYOB expedition welcomes you to bring drinks and food to enjoy as you have a "must do" Hawaii aquatic adventure.

Why do travelers choose this tour?

With a departure from Haleiwa Harbor, you will avoid the crowds and boat traffic that accompany tours departing from Honolulu, and you will be able to enjoy incredible views of the shore and surroundings without any obstruction, and explore the open water with just you and your group.

The snorkel tours are led by expert local knowledgeable guides who will help you have a great time while learning about our coastal ecosystems.

This Oahu snorkeling cruise is both budget-friendly and family-friendly, and makes for a great option for families and friends to come together for a fun and relaxing time in and out of the water.

As a BYOB cruise, you can bring whatever drinks and food on to the cruise for you and your group to enjoy, and is a wonderful way to fully customize your ocean experience.

Local expert tips

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.
Although this tour is available all year round, 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.
If you are prone to motion sickness, it is highly recommended that you take medication at least one hour prior to the tour.
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!
Do not forget to bring drinks and snacks with you! Although there are no large grocery stores near the harbor, there are a number of restaurants and food trucks available for takeout, but any drinks and light snacks should be purchased before arriving into Haleiwa.

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.
