About this tour
Set sail from Haleiwa Harbor as the North Shore’s evening light turns the ocean gold. On this Oahu sunset catamaran cruise, the breeze, open water, and changing colors make a memorable backdrop for a relaxed two-hour outing aboard the Ho‘o Nanea.
Cruise along the North Shore and take in the sunset from the deck. Soft drinks and water are available, and you can bring your own beverages to keep in the onboard cooler. From December 15 to April 30, watch for humpback whales in season; sightings are not guaranteed. The cruise returns to Haleiwa Harbor, with transportation to and from the harbor not included.
Choose this Oahu sunset catamaran cruise for an easygoing way to enjoy the coast from the water. Bring a light jacket, settle in, and watch the last light fade over the Pacific.

How this score is calculated
This tour scores 4.55 on Viator and 5.00 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.
How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.6.
