Itinerary
Sail by the sacred Waimea Valley that pours into its beautiful sandy Bay. Where you get to witness the locals and visitors cliff, jumping off of a 30 foot large rock in the water. And in the summertime that is where the spinner dolphins have their breeding ground! You would never guess, but in the winter, the water changes to 60 foot waves and that is where the famous big wave Eddie Aikau surf contest is held!
The North Shore Oahu, also known as "7 mile miracle "has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world that you will get to witness aboard our beautiful 40 foot catamaran. Lush mountains, valleys and crystal clear blue water.

My family and I booked the Snorkel and Catamaran Sail. We were a bit late but the staff was very accommodating and waited for us, which was very nice of them. My husband and son had a great time and saw several sea turtles. On my end, the experience turned into the trip from hell because I didn't take motion sickness medication. I was under the impression that catamarans were very stable. I guess they are not, or maybe I am too sensitive. My advice to anyone who has a similar problem is to take medication to avoid issues that will ruin their day.
Great time, crew and captain were excellent guides. Would definitely recommend this tour. Woulid book again next time we are here
A great half a day on the water with boat based snorkeling and sailing! Top that with dozens of spinner dolphins running with us, and gentle turtles coming up to look at us, and you have a fantastic day. The crew was great (particularly Denise!) Great people, great time, great price. Highly recommend!
Despite it has not been easy to find the website where to make the reservation, we found a nice boat with a very nice sail team. Accordingly to our experience it does worth to move from Waikiki Beach to Haleiwa Harbour. Highly Suggested!!!! :)
My booked activity didn't reach the min. amount of passengers so it didn't happen. The worst part is that I got to know ut would never happen after the third time I called while waiting for someone to show up at the boat. I was promised a call back to arrange a new booking but the call back was from someone else telling me the cruise was cancelled 🤦♂️ Barely apologized and offered no compensation (simple refund). Not worthy of the North Shore hospitality.
My family booked a snorkel + sailing tour with North Shore Catamaran in June, and loved the experience. The crew was friendly, helpful, and knowledgable, and were willing to go the extra mile to make our experience memorable. My kids all loved their time riding the waves, watching down from the front of the boat. Ryan and crew (Liam + others) were fun to talk to and courteous. Highly, highly recommended!
Wonderful 3 hours on the water with Captain Mark and crew. Very friendly and attentive in hospitality and safety. Would definitely recommend to anyone to desire a half-day adventure on the North Shore. Only downside was we didn't do any sailing per se. On the trip back the sails were up, but we were still running on motor power and traveled in a straight line. Would have enjoyed an hour or so of true sailing with course changes and a basic description and example of sailing techniques. Thanks again!
