Ocean Activities for Your Oahu Vacation

All over Oahu, there are great options for any vacation, fun activities that will fill your time on the island and give you an amazing experience. Just about anywhere you go on the island, there is something great to do, something fun happening, or an adventure waiting to be found. Oahu is the most visited of the Hawaiian Islands and has the advantage of having the most diverse activities to take part in. The ocean is the star of the show when visiting, and the ocean activities on Oahu are among the best in Hawaii.

While there are many options, narrowing it down to a few will allow you to maximize your time and allow you plenty of time for a luau, the beach, or just to get out on your own and find out what Oahu is all about.

Scuba Diving
Scuba divers flock to Oahu for diving and even beginners love to take part in this fun activity. There are many dive sites all around the island, including downed World War II aircraft, sunken boats, and the natural reef that surrounds the islands.

Snorkeling
More in tune with the younger crowd and families, snorkeling in Hawaii is a must. Visitors have the choice of heading out on a boat or entering the water from the shore at Hanauma Bay. The underwater world is incredible, with many colorful fish and mesmerizing underwater formations.

Shark Cage Dive
Diving with sharks might seem kind of crazy, but it is perfectly safe. Depart from the North Shore and head out to a known gathering place for sharks. You’ll jump into the water and come face to face with a variety of shark species that are found in Hawaii. This ocean activity is great for all ages and allows you to see sharks in their natural habitat.

Parasailing
Soar high above the ocean below and take in stunning views of the island’s coastline. The higher you get, the more you can see and ocean dwellers are often spotted while flying through the sky.

Surfing
There is nothing more Hawaiian than surfing, and even if you’ve never surfed before, you can take part in the most popular sport in the state. Surf lessons are available from expert instructors, or you can choose to rent a board and give it a shot for yourself. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be riding the waves where the sport was invented.
