At this point, you’re probably wondering just what there is to do on the North Shore, and we're happy to fill you in on the North Shore activities that we absolutely love.

North Shore Oahu Things to Do

Skydiving
This activity is not for everyone, and understandably so. Jumping out of an airplane is one of those things that takes a bit of bravery, but what better place to do this exhilarating activity than Hawaii? During your descent back to land, you’ll have unmatched views of the island and the entire North Shore, including the famous surf beaches.

Surf Lessons
You can’t come to Hawaii without learning how to surf. The North Shore is a surf mecca and you’re able to take a lesson from a local pro, learning to ride on some pretty famous breaks. Don't worry you won’t be riding the giants, but you’ll be able to brag to your friends that you surfed in Hawaii!

Diving with Sharks
First skydiving, now this? Maybe we do have a bit of a daring streak in us. Head out to the middle of the Pacific Ocean from Haleiwa Harbor and jump into the water with real life sharks, circling the boat and the shark cage that acts as your viewing area. You’ll be face to face with a variety of shark species during your time in the water and be able to stare directly into their eyes…and directly at their impressive teeth.

Food Trucks
If you're going to be spending a day or two on the North Shore, eating will be a big part of your time. Head to Haleiwa for the famous food trucks, or drive along Kamehameha Highway and stop at the truck that are scattered along the shore for a taste of the local cuisine. These trucks are famous throughout Hawaii and one plate lunch will show you why.
