🐾Summer is officially here in Hawaii!
As the days get warmer, there is nothing better than hitting the beautiful waters of Oahu. For many of us, a perfect beach day isn’t complete without our four-legged family members.
However, taking your dog to public beaches in Hawaii often comes with a long list of strict rules and stress. If you are looking for a hassle-free, unforgettable summer experience with your pup, a private boat charter might just be your best option.
Here is everything you need to know about navigating Hawaii’s dog laws and how you can level up your summer with a private cruise.
🐾 Dog-Friendly Private Cruises
On our private boat cruises, your dog is more than welcome—they are a VIP (Very Important Pup)! When you book a private tour, the boat belongs entirely to your Ohana. Your dog can feel the wind in their fur, enjoy the ocean breeze, and cool off in the water. It is the ultimate way to bond with your pet in paradise.
Safety First: What to Know About Life Jackets
We highly recommend bringing your dog’s personal life jacket if they have one. A jacket that is already perfectly fitted to their size and smells like home will help them feel secure and comfortable in the water.
🐾 Forgot yours or don’t have one?
No worries!
We provide free rental life jackets for dogs right on board, available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes to ensure a safe, snug fit for your furry companion.
We love having four-legged friends out on the water! Whenever the tide is low and other guests are around, please make sure all dogs are kept on a leash. It just helps us keep everyone—both our two-legged and four-legged guests—safe, comfortable, and happy.
