Trying to go sightseeing in Oahu by car can be a frustrating experience because of traffic. But when you get out on the water, everything improves. North Shore boat tours are a fantastic way to see the local sights and experience some of the things Hawaii is best known for including marine life and big waves. When you tour on a state-of-the-art watercraft, it's a fast-moving and smooth ride that's safe and secure. You'll be impressed by the comfort, and if you're someone who fears seasickness, the steady ride will surprise you. Recent years have brought significant improvements in tour boat design.

If you're interested in whale watching and marine life, you'll be amazed by what you can see up close and personal. The waters off Oahu's North Shore are teeming with whales during their migration season and always a place where you can see dolphins, sharks, and rays, not to mention beautiful sea birds. Part of what you'll see depends on the captain you ride with – their knowledge of the best viewing locations can make all the difference. It's why riding with a top-rated tour boat company with local people who know the area is essential. They'll make your trip a once-in-a-lifetime adventure tour.

Oahu is legendary for its slow-moving traffic, and it's one of the reasons boat tours have become so popular. They're also the only way to feel the power of the Pacific and visit legendary surfing spots. The ocean swells you'll see and ride are sights to behold, and they'll delight the adventure lover in you. But it's also essential to keep in mind that riding on an advanced watercraft keeps you safe and secure throughout an ocean adventure tour in Hawaii. They're also fast-moving, and there's no comparison to an adventure boat tour and what you might experience on a sightseeing bus that lumbers along slowly.

If you're a romantic and love the sunset time of day, it's a beautiful and peaceful moment to go out on the water. Check with your tour boat operator for available times during the early evening. It's also a moment when some marine life is incredibly active, and it'll enhance your viewing opportunities. Take the kids, and the entire family will have fun cruising at whatever time of the day you prefer. Private boat tours are also a spectacular way to see the Oahu coastline. You can set the itinerary and see only the spots you'd enjoy. Try to book in advance if you'll be visiting during a busy season to get optimum times.
