This is one of my favorite activities that I have done while visiting Hawaii — and honestly, almost anywhere!
This tour picked us up from a hotel that was close to where we were staying, within walking distance actually. Once we got to the dock, they checked us in and we were able to board the ship.
The kids and some adults were given eye patches, bandanas, and even drawn-on mustaches! The crew introduced themselves and stayed in character the entire time, making it feel like a true pirate adventure.
The kids got to participate in a sword fight (with fake swords, of course!) and even duel with the crew members. There was laughter all around! Then they got to shoot the cannons mounted on the side of the ship — an unforgettable highlight for everyone on board.
A fun competition followed to see who could be the loudest between the two sides of the ship. Our team lost, so several of us were captured and tied up on the bench as “punishment.” We had to sing Happy Birthday at the top of our lungs to the birthday boy on board — all while we were searching for treasure! The whole ship was full of laughter and excitement.
Then, as if by magic, we were told to look over the side of the boat — and there was a treasure chest floating in the water! The captain snagged it and brought it aboard. Inside were piles of gold coins that were handed out to all the kids (and even a few adults). It was such a special touch and made the adventure feel real.
We didn’t have kids with us, but who doesn’t love pirates? I highly recommend this tour for any family visiting Oahu. It’s absolutely worth it! Below deck, they even had a small gift shop and snacks for purchase.
When one guest began feeling seasick, the crew showed incredible care and patience — they truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience.
For families looking for something unique and entertaining, the Pirate Adventure Cruise is a must-do. It’s one of the most fun-filled sailing tours on Oahu and an adventure the kids will talk about long after the trip.
To round out your Oahu experience, consider pairing it with other family favorites like Aloha Kai Luau or a visit to Sea Life Park for marine fun. You can even catch the island’s beauty on a Circle Island sightseeing tour.
Due to the high volume of visitors traveling to Hawaii year-round, our Oahu tours and activities sell out quickly. In many cases, tours sell out weeks or months in advance.
