Watch for whales off Oahu’s North Shore on a 120-minute trip led by a locally owned company founded by Native Hawaiian watermen.

About this tour

Set out from Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor for a whale-watching trip along Oahu’s North Shore. This 120-minute outing is led by a locally owned company founded by Native Hawaiian watermen Makua Rothman and Kala Alexander, whose lives in the ocean shape their respect for these waters. Keep watch for whales from the boat, with bottled water and snorkeling gear provided. Check in 30 minutes before your scheduled departure at the small two-story building in the middle of the boats, then wait for the crew’s call. Transportation to the harbor is not available, so plan your own way there. Choose this Oahu Whale Watching Tour for a chance to experience the North Shore with people deeply connected to its ocean. Book your place and enjoy a memorable day on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.80 from 5 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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 7.1.
