Haleʻiwa is a North Shore community and census-designated place (CDP) in the Waialua District of the island of Oʻahu, City and County of Honolulu. Haleʻiwa is located on Waialua Bay, the mouth of Anahulu Stream (also known as Anahulu River). A small boat harbor is located here, and the shore of the bay is surrounded by Haleʻiwa Beach Park (north side) and Haleʻiwa Aliʻi Beach Park (south side). Further west from the center of town is Kaiaka State Recreation Area on Kiaka Point beside Kaiaka Bay. As of the 2010 census, the CDP had a population of 3,970. It is the largest commercial center on the North Shore of the island. Its old plantation town character is preserved in many of the buildings, making this a popular destination for tourists and residents alike, visiting surfing and diving sites along the north shore.

Our Girl Scout Troop was lead by 2 awesome employees through the Pupukea area, overlooking the ocean. We all loved the ride and enjoyed everything we learned. Mark did an amazing job teaching us the fundamentals of horseback riding, and the girls loved the very nice lady who rode in front. Mrs. Tammy made booking the trip a breeze, and the horses were all super sweet. Thank you for the great experience!!

Nani Kai Ocean Adventures

Not only are we the only locally, native Hawaiian, owned whale watching, sightseeing, snorkeling tour on the north shore, but we also have the premiere boat on the north shore for what we do. No one else comes close. With its double hull design it is the most versatile, smooth and safe riding boat on the north shore. We have shade for those that have more sensitive skin and we also have a bathroom onboard, which comes in handy when we decide to stay out longer if the whales and or dolphins are putting on a show. Come and learn about the history of surfing, which was actually invented by Hawaiians, and the Hawaiian culture from actual Hawaiians. Famous surf spots. Movie/TV sites. Culture. History. Marine Life. Comfort. Safety. Education. Local tips. We got it all.
