Boating & Sailing on Oahu
One of the very first images that come to mind when Hawaii is mentioned is warm, crystal blue water. And there’s just no better way to experience these open seas than by boat. Compiled below are the top boat tours on Oahu. All aboard!
Whether you are staying in town near Waikiki, heading up to the North Shore, spending a day on the eastern shores, or enjoying the waters of the west side, there is an Oahu boat tour available within a short drive. For those wanting a Waikiki boat tour, the Spirit of Aloha is a modern catamaran that offers visitors lunchtime sails, snorkel sails and delicious dinner sails departing from the Hilton Resort in Waikiki, including its most popular Friday night Sunset Fireworks Dinner Cruise (average tour is 2.5 hours in length). Also popular is Atlantis Submarine, a unique boat tour that takes you below the surface to see Hawaii’s underwater world. The tour departs from the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.
