Experience Hawaii’s incredible natural beauty like never before during this humpback whale watching boat tour from Honolulu!
From December to March each year, humpback whales migrate from Alaska all the way to Hawaii in order to give birth and nurse their calves. This amazing phenomenon creates the opportunity to observe these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat for an unforgettable adventure at sea departing right from Honolulu. As you cruise along the Waikiki coast, you will not only have front row seats to watch humpback whales breach and swim with their calves, but you will also be treated to Oahu’s iconic sites such as the Diamond Head crater and the Waikiki strip!
During your whale watching boat tour along Oahu’s southern shore you will also have the chance to spot other wildlife apart from humpback whales, such as spinner, bottlenose, or spotted dolphins, pilot whales, and sea turtles! In between marvelling at the whales, other marine life, and the Honolulu skyline, you will be able to sit back and relax, unwind with a BYOB beverage or enjoy complimentary green tea or hot cocoa! The naturalist guides on board will also share information about the surrounding marine life so that you come away with a deeper understanding of Oahu and its incredible marine animals and ecosystem..
