North Shore

Once you meet your crew at the boat they will brief you on safety before you head out past the most famous surf breaks in the world. Along the way you see famous tv and movie sites. If you are one of the lucky ones, not only will you see humpback whales , but you might also see dolphins, turtles and maybe even the amazing flying fish. In between you will learn some Hawaiian and surfing history. Surfing or the art of riding waves was actually created right here in Hawai’i.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Whale Watching on “The World Famous North Shore of Oahu”, Hawaii?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Activity name

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.
