Snorkeling in Hawaii is an adventure into an underwater paradise. The living reefs of Hawaii are host to hundreds of species of fish and other marine life. During our sail along the North Shore, you’ll see Hawaiian sea turtles near the shore. On many days we encounter Spinner dolphins as they come and escort our catamaran, surf the bow wave and put on a great show as they cavort in the wake of our boat.

Once we arrive at our location, there is plenty of time for snorkeling and swimming. The snorkeling spots are home to sea turtles and it is easy to come eye to eye with them while in the water. After exploring the underwater scenery, come back aboard the Ho’o Nanea for a delicious deli lunch and cold drink.

Catamaran sailing is one of the most popular activities in Hawaii. Our sailing catamaran provides our visitors with a comfortable, smooth sailing experience. She can also safely pick up some speed and give you the true feeling of sailing, without leaning or being splashed by rough water.

• All ages welcome
• All children ages 4 and under must wear life jackets and be held at all times. Accompanying adults must also wear life jackets.
• Please bring a light jacket, your camera, sunscreen, a hat and your bathing suit.

• Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages are included. You are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages. The crew and captain will check the identification of individuals with alcoholic beverages
• If you have your own snorkeling equipment, you are welcome to bring it
• Please meet us at our boat in the Haleiwa Boat Harbor. For GPS, we recommend that you use the “Haleiwa Joe’s Seafood Grill” or harbor address: 66-105 Haleiwa Rd., Haleiwa, HI 96712. Our boat is located next to the 2 story grey building in the middle of the harbor.
• Please note all sails are weather permitting, and sailing, snorkeling, whale watching and dolphin spotting are all seasonal activities and cannot be guaranteed
• All cruises and tours have a 24-hour notice of cancellation policy. Any cancellation with less than 24 hours notice will not receive a refund. Those paying with vouchers (Groupon, Living Social, etc.) will forfeit their vouchers with a late cancellation. 20% fee for rescheduling within a 24-hour period. Customers will receive a full refund with 24 hours notice of cancellation. Customers will also receive a full refund in case of operator cancellation due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances (i.e. Lack of participation) Weather conditions are decided at the boat dock. Private charters require 168-hour (7 Day) notice for refund. 20% fee for ALL canceled Private tours.

See breaches and blows anywhere from miles away to a hundred yards off the side of the boat—sometimes even closer when the whales move in on their own for a closer look. The Ho’o Nanea is the perfect boat for whale watching. It is just the right size to keep you close to the ocean, but big enough to be a safe and stable viewing platform.

There are very few whale watching tours in Haleiwa; as a matter of fact, we are the only commercial sailing catamaran on the whole North Shore. You will not find a gaggle of boats competing for whales. Avid and apathetic whale watchers alike would both agree that sailing the North Shore of Oahu in search of whales is done best on the Sailing Cat.

We always do our best to provide you with a great vantage point for observation without harassment to the whales, as the coast surrounding the Hawaiian Islands is supposed to be their peaceful winter sanctuary.
