Additional Information

Come and enjoy scenic ocean views, indigenous animals, and the famous eastern side of Oahu on a private catamaran tour in Waikiki. Our journey will begin at Kewalo Basin Harbor situated in Honolulu, taking us along the edge of the ocean all the way to Diamond Head. Along the route, we might halt for any turtles, dolphins, or whales that cross our path. Reaching the apex of our route, we’ll locate a tranquil anchorage to unwind at. Guests are free to accompany me for a guided snorkeling and swimming session, or simply dangle their feet in the water while soaking in the delightful day. The boat is solely booked for your group, allowing liberty to play your preferred tunes and carry any snacks or drinks to savor during our cruise. I’ll be more than delighted to divulge the local insights and the cultural heritage of the region we’ll be traversing throughout the trip. I’m thrilled to offer you an escape from the rush and a truly intimate getaway.

Perfect Morning on the Ocean - My family had an amazing time on this cruise and snorkeling tour! The weather was perfect, the crew friendly and knowledgeable, and the views outstanding. In spite of the crowds at Turtle Canyon, the crew timed our arrival so that we were able to spend some quiet time observing the amazing sea turtles in their natural habitat. We would highly recommend Hawaii Ocean Charters!

100% Recommend - The tour was a BLAST! The catamaran was run by an adorable couple and had us feel so welcome. It was a group of us for a bachelorette and it was a perfect private tour going at an easy pace. The weather was perfect and we even got to see dolphins up close, along with turtles. The music was thumping and we even had tons of photos and videos thanks to them! Would definitely recommend

Great Times - Just what the doctor ordered… enjoyable and relaxing time with family out on the water. Nick and Francesco were amazing hosts. They were kind, courteous and professional. These guys knew exactly where to go to take in the most beautiful views of the coast and marine life. We were able to see dolphins right in front of our boat, snorkel and see turtles and many other fish. Great times ! Mahalo
