If you visit Hawaii from December to April, consider going whale watching. It's one of the specialties of many Oahu private boat tours, and an experienced local captain can take you to all the right spots. Going on a bona fide ocean adventure is nothing like conventional sightseeing on buses or by car. It's an experience you'll never forget, and the entire family will love it. Adventure seekers can also sign up for big wave tours to ride the surf and see formidable swells on the Pacific. Advanced watercraft that are fast, smooth-riding, and agile makes it all possible and will keep you safe and secure throughout the tour.


Sharks are another tour boat attraction on the North Shore of Oahu, and they never disappoint. You'll view them up close as they swim close to the boat when it stops in optimal spots. Ask your captain for information and to stop for photo ops. They're made for social media moments to show friends and family all you're doing while on vacation. When you tour privately, you can choose the time of day, and many people are lovers of subsets. It's a gorgeous time of day to be out on the water under some of the world's most beautiful skies. It's also a time when some marine life is active, and you'll see them all.


Looking back at the coastline from a vantage point out on the water lets you see noted mountain peaks and other scenic attractions on Oahu. It's much quicker and enjoyable than trying to see sight by car and being stuck in traffic more often than you'd like.  The fresh ocean air is refreshing, and boat tours on fast-moving watercraft go at a quicker pace than a tour bus could ever hope to run. It's easy to find companies that are kid and family-friendly, and even if you have easily bored teenagers, it won't happen when you're out on the Pacific. When you tour privately, you can select the itinerary you prefer.


When you're in Oahu during the annual whale migration from December through April, you can also enjoy some of the world's most active whale watching. You'll see them up close and when they are active. It's a memorable experience for everyone in the family, especially those who love nature and wildlife. Taking a private ocean adventure that moves at your desired pace and takes you to see the sights you select adds another layer of enjoyment. Kids and teens are never bored, and you can stop for incredible pictures along the way. Look back to see mountain peaks and all the Oahu shoreline.
