Whale Watching Oahu North Shore
The only commercial sailing catamaran on the North Shore — no flotilla, just you and the humpbacks.
- Soft drinks and water
- BYOB cooler on board
- Departs Haleiwa Harbor
- Morning, afternoon, and sunset
Cruise to Waimea Bay, catch the trade winds, and race back to Haleiwa — dolphins, turtles, and early whales along the way.
The experience
As we switch seasons with the weather and months, we'll cruise along the coastline, occasionally seeing dolphins and turtles (Honu), as well as an early humpback whale. We invite you on board the Ho'o Nanea to leave behind the land and set sail on the open ocean.
We head up the coast towards Waimea Bay, then turn out to sea to catch the trade winds at our back and race back towards Haleiwa!
What you get
“Incredible whale and dolphin watching experience in the heart of Haleiwa. Crew were so hospitable and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!”
