Overview

Experience the beauty of Oʻahu South Shore as we sail toward Lēʻahi (Diamond Head) aboard the spacious Haleiwa Queen, a 50ft power catamaran, with 49 seats, an onboard restroom, a shaded deck, and complimentary beverages. Learn the history of Waikīkī where chiefs and commoners once lived. Our local born and raised crew members will share stories of their ancestors and experiences about growing up in this magical place, Hawaiʻi. Waterman their entire lives, our crew will share their passion, love, and respect for the ocean. You will explore the lively and vibrant ocean floor through our magnified glass bottom view ports. Enjoy the clear view of the Pacific Ocean as we cruise over live coral reefs, encounter tropical fish, honu (sea turtles), eel, reef sharks, dolphins, and humpback whales during season.

PLEASE NOTE: Our crew will make every effort possible to allow guests to see marine life, but since there are conditions beyond our control, we CANNOT guarantee any animal sightings.

Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Hawaii over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
