When organizing a family trip to Hawaii, it can be difficult to locate activities that everyone in the family will like, especially if you have older children and teenagers who are skeptical. If you're staying on Oahu, consider leaving Honolulu to go on one of the boat cruises that tourists to the North Shore rave about.
They're ocean excursions in which you either surf large waves or witness marine life - or both. The new tour boats travel quickly, since they are rigid and inflatable rigid watercraft. They ride more solidly and smoothly than older, less modern boats. As soon as you get on-board, you'll sense the difference.
If you've never been on a long wave boat excursion, they can be thrilling. The Seven Mile Miracle on Oahu is a collection of world-renowned beaches known for having some of the greatest surf breakers in the world. When you're gliding through those waves and swells, you'll understand why Hawaii is known as the world's surf capital.
Local captains who are familiar with the region can quickly take you to all of the greatest sites. Even if you're not easily enthralled by tourism, this is a trip that will keep you interested. From the lake, you may also enjoy a spectacular view of the shoreline. Many sites may be seen from the sea, adding to your North Shore experience.
North Shore whale watching is another favorite boat trip activity, and the views can be spectacular when the humpback whales are migrating. Their season runs from December to April, during which time the young are born and nurtured. Sharks may also be seen in the vicinity, and your ocean adventure trip can take you there.
Sharks are naturally interested and will approach the tour boat if you are in the vicinity. You'll feel safe and snug in your seat, and you'll keep dry during the journey. When you travel privately, you may customize your schedule and see the things that interest you the most.
