- Arrival window: Arrive 30 minutes before your private departure to meet the crew. This time is additional to the boat trip.

Good to know
Know before you go
Children must be at least 5, with an adult. Swimming remains a requirement for entering the ocean. Booking the boat for your own party doesn't remove that condition.
Wear swimwear for your departure and bring a towel for the return. Your group's snorkel gear is included. You can use your own mask.
Bad weather can mean a rescheduled date or a full refund. Updates reach you through the phone number or email used for booking. Your private reservation still depends on suitable conditions offshore.
This private boat takes up to 6 guests. You can leave places empty. Fewer guests won't reduce the group price.
The Hawaii Adventure Diving kiosk in central Haleiwa Harbor is your meeting point. Arrive 30 minutes before your departure time. Your group needs its own transport to reach the harbor from Waikiki.
This booking uses a mobile ticket and a 24-hour full-refund cancellation deadline. Cancellations after that deadline aren't refundable. The policy applies to your private booking through the booking page.
