Beyond the Beach: Unveiling Haleiwa’s Charm
This historic town on Oahu’s North Shore offers plenty of delights to charm visitors. Explore art galleries, pick up unique souvenirs from quaint local boutiques, and sample the tasty offerings from food trucks as varied as shrimp trucks and dessert trucks. Once you’ve experienced the best this relaxed beach town offers, grab an iconic shaved ice and head to the water to experience the exhilarating surf culture.
If you’re visiting in June, catch the Haleiwa Arts Festival! This fun, free event features lots of local artists, live music, and scrumptious local foods. You’ll see why the gorgeous Hawaiian scenery and stunning culture inspire artists from all around the world.
Exploring Haleiwa’s Ocean Playground: Catch a Wave (or Just the View!)
The North Shore of Oahu is renowned for its big waves during the Winter months and the adventurous surfers that ride them. Whether you’re content to just watch the excitement or looking for expertly-taught beginner surfing lessons, Haleiwa’s world-famous beaches are the place to be! And don’t worry, not every beach on the North Shore offers the massive waves that attract advanced surfers. Some are just right for beginners to practice newly-found skills.
As a calmer alternative to surfing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a more relaxing way to enjoy the water — especially with an experienced local guide leading the way and sharing their intimate knowledge of the area.
Underwater Encounters: Unveiling the Magic Beneath the Surface
Haleiwa’s reefs are teeming with colorful and exotic marine life. What better way to enjoy the abundance than while snorkeling? The pristine waters around the North Shore are home to turtles, rays, octopuses, eels, and a wide variety of reef fish — many of which are found only in Hawaiian waters.
A boat tour offers even more opportunities to see larger marine life, such as sharks, dolphins, and whales. You might even see a migrating pod of majestic humpback whales if you’re visiting during the winter (November to March). And don’t forget our cage-free shark tours for an up-close experience you’ll never forget!
Land & Sea Adventures: Exploring Beyond Haleiwa
If you can bear to leave Haleiwa and its stunning beaches, a day trip around Oahu might include a reflective visit to the Pearl Harbor Memorial or a taste of Hawaii at the Dole Plantation. You could also explore the island’s interior via hiking trails or horseback. At Ocean Outfitters, we can provide plenty of ideas for things to do on your Hawaiian adventure alongside our unforgettable tour experiences!
