Located in Historic Haleiwa Town on Oahu's fabled North Shore, Hawaii Ocean Adventure Tours is your ticket to a memorable time on the water. Come to slip 302 on Pier 300, and let your adventure take place.
Captain Ryan Bruner will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in trolling and big game fishing on heavy tackle – all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 8 hour trips, mainly fishing for Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Marlin, depending on the season and conditions on the day.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 33' Jupiter boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features a toilet and ice box, and, when it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price.
There's need to worry about fishing licenses, either, as they'll be provided and handled by the charter. You can also keep anything you catch, as long as it's legal to do so, and the captain will clean and fillet all the fish you caught.
Once tour is booked you will receive a message through fishing booker to complete your booking reservation. We will contact you to provide us with your email and a credit card to secure on our end to complete booking reservation.
This is a children-friendly charter, so you're welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure. All that's left to do is book your trip now and hit the water with Hawaii Ocean Adventure Tours!

Great Experience!
Half Day Trip on January 7, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child
We had a great time reeling in fish. Captain Kelly was awesome getting us on fish and we were sent home with some filets that we cooked back at house. Great experience with my kids and grand kids!

Great crew and snorkeling but not a fishing trip
Half Day Trip on July 3, 2025 • 2 adults
The trip on Fishing Booker shows captain Ryan and gives the impression Ryan will be the captain and you get the idea you will be in good hands and the fishing trip and likelihood of catching fish will be high. However once you show up for the trip two much younger individuals captain the boat and they don’t have the perceived experience of a knowledge fishing captain. So you just troll around for hours without a bite or any fishing action.

Bryce, just FYI, our success rate of boating Fish is between 80 and 85% over the last 10 years. We made special arrangements for you and your family to leave the Dock later than usual per YOUR request. Which lessons the chance of an early morning bite. In addition, you requested to snorkel for an hour of your four hour fishing charter, reducing the fishing time by an hour. We fished all the same areas as we normally do. The day prior we fished the same area with the same gear and caught Marlin, mahi-mahi and wahoo. It’s just the luck of the draw. In addition, we could have bottom fished had you requested or live baitedHad you decided to arrive at our normal departure time. In addition, our crew who you said was.”younger” are actually 27 and 29 years of age. So I’m not sure how old your requirements are for CREW members to be but they are plenty old enough and able bodied. And if it’s because they were both women, women can catch fish too. With three hours available to fish, trolling is our best way to produce. Being a seasoned fisherman as you say you are, I would think this would be something that you would understand. Thanks for your business. 🤙

July fishing trip
Special 4 hour trip for J Ukishima on July 20, 2022 • 6 adults
Great afternoon half-day trip! Booked last minute (day before) but everyone was very accommodating. Sarah was awesome at communicating via and phone and text: providing instructions on where to meet, things to bring, etc. Capt Danny was awesome! He explained things well, was patient with the kids (ages 16, 14, 10), and allowed everyone to participate. We landed a good sized ono and a big-ass ahi! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a flexible 6-pack charter. Will definitely do it again on next trip to Hawaii.

Half day trip with Captain TJ
Half Day Trip on August 19, 2022 • 4 adults
We booked a half day trip with Captain TJ and Amber. They were both professional, we felt very safe, and the boat was nice and clean. However this was not much of a fishing adventure for us, as we were groggy on Dramamine, mostly lounged in the front of boat, and did not get a single bite trolling for 4 hours. So it was a nice boat ride but we were disappointed not to have any action.
I heard from another charter it was slow on the half day grounds; but I did not inquire with HOAT what they were actually catching. Best to confirm as we had different expectations.
