Go Hawaii Watersports operates premiere ocean experiences in Waikiki and nearby harbors on Oahu. The company offers a wide range of guided marine activities including parasailing, snorkeling adventures, whale watching cruises, beginner scuba diving, family-friendly sunset catamaran sails, and full‑day private deep sea fishing charters. Trips run from short two‑hour snorkel and whale watching excursions to extended full‑day fishing trips, with flexible BYOB sunset and fireworks cruises and intimate departures limited to 15 guests on select vessels.
Safety and professional staffing are central to the operation. Crews are U.S. Coast Guard-compliant, trained in emergency procedures, and certified in passenger safety for parasailing, diving, and fishing operations. Equipment is routinely maintained and modern—boats include 55‑foot power catamarans with glass-bottom viewing rooms and a 47‑foot Cabo Express for deep sea charters. Snorkel sites are chosen for visibility and marine life; whale watching utilizes underwater microphones and expert naturalist commentary during season.
Guests receive clear pre-trip briefings, high-quality rental gear options, complimentary snacks on most tours, and the option to bring personal beverages on designated BYOB trips. The business operates from Kewalo Basin Harbor and Waikiki launch points, prioritizes punctual departures, transparent pricing, and personalized attention for private charters.
