Wai`anae Small Boat Harbor

4.4(430 reviews)

About

Found on Oahu, Wai`anae Small Boat Harbor sits at 85-491 Farrington Hwy, Waianae, HI 96792, United States, on the island's drier western coast. Drivers from Honolulu or Waikiki reach the harbour on the leeward side of Oahu.

The marina occupies the Waianae shoreline, well away from the busier resort districts, and the North Shore lies further around the same coast. As a marina, the site handles small craft and the boating traffic that uses this stretch of water. Its 4.4 out of 5 average across 430 reviews reflects steady approval from those who moor or launch here.

Berth and harbour information is published at waianaeharbor.com. Pidgin, or Hawaiian Creole English, is spoken widely across the islands, so visitors will hear it alongside standard English.

Hawaii's wetter season runs from November to March, and the leeward coast stays drier than the windward side for much of the year. Hula dance, oli chants and the voyaging traditions of Polynesian navigators remain part of local culture. Travel between the Hawaiian islands is by air, since no road or regular ferry connects them.
