O’ahu Whale Watching
1.5 Hour Whale Watching Cruise
What should I bring?
Sunglasses, sunscreen, and maybe a jacket for the cooler afternoon air.
Whale Sightings Guaranteed
The migration of whales to and around the Hawaiian Islands is an annual winter event that has been familiar to Native Hawaiians over the centuries. Join us for an amazing 90-minute whale-watching cruise right off the Waikiki Coast. During your tour, we’ll be looking for Humpback whales that migrate to Hawai’i in the winter to mate and birth calves. We’ll also be on the lookout for other exciting marine life such as Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and Hawaiian Sea Turtles all while enjoying the beautiful views of the coast and Diamond Head.

Description
Start your day with whales! Join us for a beautiful morning cruise along the Waikiki Coastline to view Humpback whales that winter here in our beautiful Hawaiian Islands. Every year, humpback whales make the trip from cold northern seas to the warm waters of Hawaii to breed and calve. They communicate in many ways: with songs, fin-slapping, and breaching – and you can witness this up close. We offer our whale watching trips during peak whale season to give you the best chance possible to see whales during your cruise.
Our large, double-decker boat is US Coast Guard inspected with room enough for you to move around. We even have an onboard restroom. Our boat has a large bow and is perfectly suited to give you the best views of these magnificent creatures. You will have plenty of photo opportunities as we cruise along the Oahu coastline.
As a bonus, we often see Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin on our cruise. Spinner dolphins are known for spinning their bodies in the air, making as many as seven rotations at a time!
This family-friendly adventure will be remembered for years as one of the best parts of your Hawaiian vacation. Got a large group? We even offer private charters for groups of up to 49 passengers
Relax and enjoy some drinks and snacks while you keep your eyes peeled for a spectacular wildlife show. You can even BYOB! Our captains and crew are focused on safety and on your experience, ensuring that your adventure with us will be something you remember for years. Got a question? Just ask!
