Overview
Join us aboard one of the fastest and smoothest rides on the North Shore for the Whale Watching and Marine Wildlife Tour. Our experienced crew will guide you to the best spots to see dolphins, shark, rays, sea turtles, and more. If you are here during Hawaii’s winter months, you may even see the mighty humpback whales on their annual migration (October - April). Our boats are fast and agile, allowing us to get to remote spots quickly. And with just 18 seats onboard, you get an intimate experience with the knowledgeable crew and captain.
Itinerary
Waimea Bay is located in Haleiwa on the North Shore of O'ahu in the Hawaiian Islands at the mouth of the Waimea River. Waimea Valley extends behind Waimea Bay. Waimea means "reddish water" in Hawaiian. During the winter months, the towering North Shore waves start here in Waimea Bay. The winter swells that roll into the famous Oahu North Shore beaches, generally top out at Waimea Beach Park, on the right-hand side of the bay. (15 mins)
Surfing the Bay, along with Sunset Beach and the Banzai Pipeline, is considered almost a pilgrimage among many pro-surfers that fly in from all around the world to partake in the daring action. The fun generally begins when the National Weather Service issues high surf warnings for the North Shore. (15 mins)
