Few places in the world are as beautiful and exciting as Hawaii, and if you're planning a vacation, don't forget to out onto the ocean. You owe it to yourself to find out more about the best private boat tours North Shore has to offer. Most are located on Oahu’s North Shore, where you can see and do so much more. Traffic on the island can get congested, and you can leave the delays behind when you tour by boat and see the sights quickly, safely, and comfortably if you're interested in marine life. You often will see whales, sharks, dolphins, rays, and majestic sea birds. It's a perfect tour option for families and groups.

When you're thinking of fun things to do on vacation in Oahu, few things can match a private boat tour. Sightseeing can move quickly or leisurely at your choice, and you'll be amazed by how much there is to do. If you happen to be around between December and April, you can watch whales during their annual migration up close and personal. There are also shark tours (from the safety of a secure boat) and beautiful opportunities to see dolphins, rays, and sea birds in their natural habitat. When you're touring privately, there's no hurry, and you can see sights at your own pace – stop and enjoy.

If the younger people in your family are skeptical about sightseeing tours, it'll all change when you take them out on a boat. Today's smooth, fast-moving watercraft more you from point to point effortlessly to keep your ocean adventure fun and fast-moving. You'll feel the incredible power of the Pacific Ocean, and you'll see swells and ride waves all while staying dry. It's all about the boat, and choosing one with a performance design changes the game. The better Hawaiian tour operators have them and are transforming what it means to take a boat tour. It's a far cry from a slow-moving tour bus in traffic.

The other possibility for a private boat tour off Oahu's North Shore is to make it romantic, which means taking a sunset cruise. If you like skies with breathtaking colors, you'll be impressed by what you see off the Hawaiian coast. It's legendary for clear temperate weather, and few things can match the beauty of being on the water at sunset. Vacations should be about things you can't do at home, and cruising the ocean under the sunset skies with the picturesque Oahu coastline in the background is perfect. Whichever private boat tour option you choose, don't forget to be ready with your camera.
