Waikiki Deluxe Whale Watch Sail

Witness the Majesty of Humpback Whales in Paradise!

Every December through March, thousands of Humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of Hawaii. Come along and catch these beautiful mammals at their best on our exciting eco-friendly whale watching excursions. Whales are also likely to be seen, though are not guaranteed, on all of our daytime adventures including snorkeling trips.

The tour usually begins with an introduction to the safety guidelines and a brief overview of the whales that you may encounter. Once the boat sets sail, the guide will keep a lookout for any signs of whales, such as blows, tail splashes, or breaches. The guide will also provide interesting information about the whales, their behavior, and their natural habitat.

As you get closer to the whales, you can expect to see these magnificent creatures up close and personal. You may witness them breaching, spy-hopping, or fluking, and you’ll be amazed at the sheer size and power of these creatures. You may also hear the sound of their vocalizations, which can be a thrilling experience.

In addition to whales, you may also spot other marine life, such as dolphins, seals, sea lions, and various species of birds. The tour usually lasts for a few hours.

If you don’t see whales on any of our “WHALE WATCH”-specific trips, come back again 1 more time for free! (Rerides only, no refunds. Reride is one time on a trip of equal or lesser value on Maui, The Big Island or Oahu. You may apply the value of your ticket to upgrade to any Hawaii Nautical trip)
