What people are saying about Haleiwa

The boat ride is an absolute thrill!!! Both Brandon (captain) and Jen (guide) are wonderful. Jen free dived to the bottom to bring sea life to the surface for us to see. We didn’t climb the jump off rock point but Jen did and it looked pretty cool if you’re agile enough. Again, the boat ride is intense be sure to hold on tight!!!

The tour guide was very informative, the tour was great. We did not understand the drop off information and got left 2 miles from our hotel. We didn't realize this until the bus was gone. We were able to get a city bus to get back to our hotel after some frantic moments.

Dirk was very knowledgeable about the entire trip. He made the trip worthwhile and the entire bus enjoyed being with him. Highly recommend doing this tour
