Description

Join a high-energy whale watching adventure off the coast of Honolulu during the peak whale season from December to March. Departing from Pier A at Ala Moana Boulevard, you’ll board a 28-foot thrill raft—the same style used by the U.S. Coast Guard. With just six guests per tour, you’ll enjoy an intimate, crowd-free experience as you search for Hawaiian humpback whales in their natural habitat. Your certified captain and guide will use their expertise and up-to-date knowledge of whale activity to maximize your chances of unforgettable sightings. Every tour route is flexible, adapting to where whales have been most recently spotted. Watch for awe-inspiring behaviors like breaching, tail slapping, and pectoral waves. You may also encounter Hawaiian spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and other fascinating marine life along the way. Enjoy complimentary bottled water and local Hawaiian juice, or bring your own drinks and snacks—an onboard cooler with ice is provided. After nearly two hours on the water, you’ll return to the dock with incredible memories and a deeper appreciation for Hawaii’s marine wildlife. This small-group adventure is perfect for those seeking a personal, up-close encounter with nature’s giants.
