Aloha from our ohana
About Hawaii Ocean Charters
A locally owned Waikiki tour company sharing the ocean we love — with genuine aloha, real care, and a whole lot of turtles.
Our story
Ocean adventures, powered by aloha
Hawaii Ocean Charters offers private Waikiki catamaran cruises and shared tours to visitors and locals looking to have an ocean adventure. We're an owner-operated business with intimate knowledge of these waters — and we treat every guest like family.
From guided snorkeling and whale watching to sunset and fireworks cruises — and proposals, birthdays and photoshoots on the water — we host it all from Kewalo Basin Harbor, just minutes from Waikiki. Whatever the occasion, we're here to make it unforgettable.
