Spirit Of Aloha Whale Watching
Watch the Humpback Whales Play
Familiar to Native Hawaiians over the centuries, the migration of whales to and around the Hawaiian Islands is an annual winter event. Join us on the Spirit of Aloha! This vessel has it all. At 65 feet long, it's the largest catamaran boarding near Waikiki Beach. We will take you on a fun 2-hour whale-watching cruise right off the Waikiki Coast. Humpback whales migrate to Hawaii in the winter to mate and birth calves. We often see other exciting marine life, such as Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and Hawaiian Sea Turtles! You will create memories to treasure forever with the great photo ops along the way.
From December to April every year, Hawaii is visited by the migrating pods of humpback whales that make their way to ocean water by the islands to mate and have their children. While they are here, these incredible animals are a regular sight, and can even be heard in the water. Even in the event that we don’t see any whales during your trip, don’t worry. Return trips are free if no whales are spotted.
Whale spotting is fun whether solo or in a group. If you want to bring your family with you, this trip offers an open and family friendly environment that makes that all the easier for you to do. Every child deserves to experience seeing some of nature’s largest animals. Bring your family along with you and enjoy the ride across the water with everyone.
While sailing over the ocean water in our catamaran, don’t let yourself get worn out by being too hungry or thirsty to enjoy the experience. We offer unlimited refreshments to all guests, so enjoy some light snacks and drinks to keep your energy up for the rest of the adventure. The last thing you want to think about while whale spotting is being hungry after all!

We are a team of hospitality professionals dedicated to your safety and enjoyment. We are guided by the Creed of Aloha, from legendary Hawaii waterman Duke Paoa Kahanamoku. Join us on a 2-hour trip off the Waikiki coast!
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 65-foot sailing catamaran is US Coast Guard inspected with room enough for you to move around. We even have an onboard restroom. 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.
Relax and enjoy the ride while you keep your eyes peeled for a spectacular wildlife show. 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!
NOTE: This is a "barefoot" cruise. You will need to remove your shoes and wade through water to board the catamaran.
