Three Tables, Oahu

Each of the Hawaiian Islands is so different that a Hawaii inter-island tour is a must. Take a Big Island volcano tour so you can experience Earth’s most active volcano.

Three Tables at a Glance

Three Tables Beach gets its name from the three sections of flat reef that appear on the water’s surface during low tide. These formations make an interesting backdrop for one of the most attractive beaches on Oahu’s North Shore.

The snorkeling and diving conditions are good if the ocean is calm, usually between May and September. The water is only about 15 feet deep and you’ll be able to see all kinds of colorful fish and underwater lava tubes, ledges and arches. Sometimes you can also see sea turtles here.

In the winter, the waves can reach heights of over 40 feet in this area. This makes for a very rough and dangerous ride, and only highly experienced surfers should try to ride these waves. The surf can be unpredictable during this season, so never turn your back to the ocean when you’re in the water. When the surf is up, even the tide pools become a dangerous area to swim in.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try night diving. On a good night, you should get enough moonlight to see several feet under water. However, you should be an experienced diver because there are no lifeguards in the area. The best time to visit Three Tables is early morning before the crowds arrive or in the late afternoon when parking spaces start to free up.
