North Shore Oahu Custom Private Boat Charter (Up to 8 Hours)

Overview

The North Shore Oahu private boat charter from Go Adventure Hawaii, sold as the Custom Day Trip, lets up to 6 guests combine two operator tours, such as the shark dive and deep sea fishing, in up to 8 hours from Haleiwa Harbor for $1,800. It suits groups with mixed interests. The drawback: no reviews of this product yet.

Highlights

• Pick two activities: shark diving, deep sea fishing or sanctuary snorkeling from May to October; shark diving, fishing or whale watching from December to April (operator site, October 2026).
• Priced per boat at $1,800 for up to 6 guests and up to 8 hours, which works out to $300 per person with a full boat; the operator's homepage shows $2,000, so confirm when booking.
• Minimum age is 8, lower than the 12+ limit on the stand-alone shark dive.
• Fishing gear, mask and fins are included; food and water are not.
• Operator's fishing arm is rated 4.8 from 98 reviews on FishingBooker and its private charters 5.0 from 7 reviews on VELTRA as of October 2026.

What to Expect

1. Check in with the captain at the boat in Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor 30 minutes before departure; the operator says late guests cannot be accommodated.
2. The captain confirms the order and time split of your two chosen activities based on that day's weather and your preferences.
3. If you chose shark diving, the boat runs to a mooring site offshore where guests snorkel at the surface with a safety diver, as on the operator's stand-alone shark tour.
4. If you chose fishing, the crew trolls for mahi mahi, ono, ahi and marlin with the rods and tackle included.
5. In winter the whale-watching option replaces snorkeling, with humpbacks seen on the operator's shorter safari tours according to VELTRA reviews from 2023–2025.
6. You eat and drink whatever you brought aboard; the operator provides no food.
7. The boat returns to Haleiwa Harbor within the 8-hour window.
