Most of us think of vacations as being for families, and frequently they are – but they're for lovers too. If you're visiting the Honolulu area, consider going on a sunset cruise Oahu is famous for with a local tour boat. They're most likely adventure boats, but when they're slowed down and out on the tranquil early evening waters, the vibe is entirely different. You'll see the sights and quite likely marine life like dolphins and turtles during their evening feeding times. It's a peaceful experience, and the scenery is among the most beautiful anywhere on earth. It's nice to spend romantic times that are memorable.

If you're someone who loves the painted skies at sunset, the skies over Oahu's North Shore are some of the most vivid and colorful you'll ever see. They are the ideal backdrop for lovers to play and relax. Hawaii is one of the most popular vacation spots because of its natural beauty and so much to see and do. One of the reasons to plan your stay for 10-14 days is so that you have enough time to do all the standard things, walk Diamond Head and tour Pearl Harbor, and then have free days to go unhurried to places like the North Shore for a boat ride. Charter a private cruise to go full-on first class.

On the flip side of sunset cruises are early morning boat rides, and they are ideal for early risers. The morning skies are blue and beautiful, and the surf is just picking up. It's a peaceful time of the day where marine life can be active. The early morning might give you exceptional opportunities if you want to see whales, dolphins, or sharks. If you are touring privately, your captain can take you at the speed of your choice to the spots of your choice as you head out and come back. You'll have excellent shoreline views with mountain peaks in the background. Oahu is never short on scenic beauty.

Big wave adventures are another Oahu tour boat specialty. They are thanks to the incredible surfing waters off the North Shore. You might even want to cruise along the Seven Mile Miracle to be out on the surfing waters and the gorgeous adjacent beaches. It's an experience unlike any other, and if you take the time and trouble to visit Hawaii and Oahu, you owe it to yourself to add a bot ride to your itinerary. People who visit Oahu for the first or second time are amazed at the selection of daytime activities. It is one of the most exciting places to plan a vacation because there is so much to see and do.
