What to Expect

Step aboard the Hoʻo Nanea at Haleʻiwa Harbor and set sail along Oʻahu's North Shore aboard the area's only commercial sailing catamaran. As the coastline slips by, you'll enjoy unobstructed views of some of Hawaiʻi's most famous surf breaks from a perspective few visitors ever experience.

During the cruise, the captain sails just beyond the legendary surf lineup, giving you a front-row seat to watch powerful waves roll in while surfers tackle the breaks below. Depending on the season and ocean conditions, you may pass offshore of iconic stretches of coastline known throughout the surfing world, all while enjoying the steady North Shore trade winds.

Keep watch for Hawaiian green sea turtles, spinner dolphins, flying fish, seabirds, and, during the winter months, humpback whales that occasionally appear offshore. With plenty of room to relax on deck and an experienced local crew sharing stories about the coastline, surfing culture, and marine life, the journey is as memorable as the scenery itself.

As the sails stay full and the catamaran glides across the Pacific, the return to Haleʻiwa Harbor becomes part of the adventure, combining classic North Shore sailing with one of Hawaiʻi's most iconic coastal landscapes.
