North Shore shoreline

What sets us apart from everyone else is that you will be in the company of true North Shore Native Hawaiians. Born and raised on this beautiful coast, our crew has a wealth of knowledge regarding the North Shore. From finding the best snorkeling conditions to pointing out the different surf spots along the coastline, our crew has got you covered!

The North Shore has undergone developmental transformations over the years, however, one thing that will always remain is the raw and natural beauty of the land and ocean. From the crystal clear waters of Sharks Cove and Waimea Bay to the scenic views of Mt. Ka’ala and Ka’ena Point, you will quickly realize why the North Shore truly is paradise.

Ka'ena Point

Along with the wonderful scenery and activities you experience, we hope to enlighten each guest with our knowledge of the culture and history of the North Shore. Dating back centuries, Hawaiian life and culture was thriving in many parts of the North Shore, from the communities in Waimea Valley to the favorite surf spot of the kings and queens. Our goal is for our guest’s to enjoy their time with us as well as learning and share some knowledge of our beautiful home.

Tours

Departing from historical Haleiwa harbor our crew will take you on an adventure you will not forget. We will make our way up the coast to Paumalu beach also known as “Sunset Beach” where you will begin a down wind stand up paddle, which will take you just beyond the famous surfing breaks of the North Shore, including Pipeline and Rocky Point.

Down wind SUP run

As our stand up paddle run comes to an end, our crew will then trade out the SUP boards for snorkel gear and you will be back in the water swimming with marine life such as fish, turtles, and dolphins just to name a few.

Swimming through a big school of fish

Once back on the boat our crew will serve a lite lunch and share with you the rich history of the North Shore ranging from the days of old Hawaii to the history of surfing on the North Shore as well as many personal stories from the crew.
