Charter Oahu operates out of Kewalo Harbor and specializes in small-group boat charters around the south shore of Oahu. The company offers three signature experiences: the Waikiki Friday Night Fireworks Boat Cruise, a Sunset Charter, and a guided Snorkel Tour. Each trip departs from Kewalo Harbor and focuses on scenic cruising, marine wildlife viewing, and hands-on snorkeling at prime sites like Turtle Canyons.
Charter Oahu staffs experienced captains, trained crew, and certified lifeguards and provides quality snorkeling equipment, local snacks, and refreshing beverages on many departures. Safety briefings, guided snorkeling instruction, and attentive oversight are standard on the snorkel and boat tours, ensuring comfort for first-time snorkelers and experienced divers alike.
Guests can expect opportunities to spot spinner dolphins, green sea turtles, and — during winter months — migrating humpback whales from a comfortable, stable vessel. The Waikiki Friday Night Fireworks Boat Cruise pairs a relaxed harbor departure with on-deck music, island snacks, and a front-row view of the fireworks display over Waikiki. The Sunset Charter highlights Diamond Head and shoreline views with chances to see wildlife and coastal scenery as daylight fades.
Charter Oahu focuses on reliable departures, clear communication at booking, and local knowledge of Oahu’s best marine sites. The business emphasizes responsible wildlife viewing practices and adheres to Hawaiian regulations and common-sense safety standards. Travelers seeking memorable ocean experiences that combine sightseeing, snorkeling, and evening entertainment will find Charter Oahu a convenient and trustworthy option. Booking is straightforward online, and flexible group options accommodate families and private events seamlessly.
