    Humpback Whale at East Oahu

    E very winter, thousands of humpback whales leave their home and primary food source in the cold Alaskan waters to migrate to Hawaii. The reason so many whales travel here during the winter is to mate, and also to give birth to new calves. Hawaii's warm and protected waters offer a safe environment for humpback whales to reproduce. From December to April every year you will be able to observe male humpback whales competing for a female's attention, mothers teaching their calves how to dive, and if you are very lucky a calf that has just been born.

    • $99 USD

        Whale Culture and Traditions

        Discover the fascinating role of whales (koholā) in Hawaiian mythology. According to the ancient Kumulipo creation chant, these magnificent creatures were seen as symbols of both darkness and light and were believed to have helped shape the era of mankind. The Hawaiian culture held whales in high regard, recognizing their divine and physical qualities as a powerful representation of the harmonious relationship between Earth and spirit. As you embark on your exhilarating whale-watching adventure, let us remember and honor the important role these majestic beings played in Hawaii's rich history and culture.

        Fun for the Whole Family

        Experience an unforgettable adventure as you set sail along Oahu's coast in search of magnificent whales. Imagine the stories your kids will be able to share with their friends about the awe-inspiring Northern Pacific Humpback Whales.  Watch as they showcase their distinctive mating and calf-rearing rituals. Kids from 2-92 will get a thrill from watching these huge animals as they leap out of the water. Get a real kick out of seeing a whale “spy hopping.” Spy hopping is when the whale rises and holds a vertical position partially out of the water, often exposing its entire head. It is visually like a human treading water. Are they peeking at you??

        Description

        Every year for a few months, Hawaii is greeted by old friends. Humpback whales come by the oceans around our islands to mate and have their children. That makes December through March the best time to come and see whales in person! Multiple departure times from West Oahu make this tour as convenient as it is exciting. This interactive 2-hour boat tour begins with departure from the harbor before heading out to the ocean. Since whales during this time of migration, mating, and birthing new calves are less concerned about hunting, you will have the opportunity to see all kinds of different behavior, including breaching, spy hopping, and fin slapping, as well as mothers teaching their calves how to swim and dive. Be sure to bring a pair of binoculars and a camera, as these moments with humpback whales are likely something you will treasure for the rest of your life. Non-alcoholic beverages will be provided on board. Return time is scheduled to be 2 hours from departure.
