Head out from Hale‘iwa Boat Harbor on Oahu’s North Shore for a small-group boat trip to see Hawaii’s marine life up close. Over about 1 hour 30 minutes on the water, look out for playful pods of dolphins leaping through the surf and native sea turtles gliding along the reef. During whale season, from December to April, you may also see humpback whales breaching, spouting and migrating through Hawaiian waters, although sightings are never guaranteed. Throughout the trip the experienced crew shares facts and cultural insights about each species, so the outing is as educational as it is scenic. Departures run at several times through the day, from early morning to late afternoon, and you meet the boat, Rambo II, the only yellow boat in the marina. This family-friendly experience suits nature lovers and travellers aged 3 and over who want a relaxed way to discover the wildlife of the North Shore.
