About this experience
Humpback whales migrate to the Hawaiian Islands during the winter months to calve and mate, with the warm inshore waters offering protection for young whales as they build up body fat for their long journey north. Males are known for producing complex songs during mating season, and these whales are also recognized for breaching and slapping the water with their tails and pectoral fins.
The tour also includes an optional snorkeling portion with sea turtles and fish. Snorkel gear and a life vest are provided, so bring a swimsuit and towel if planning to snorkel. Snacks and beverages are welcome to bring aboard, and the tour is BYOB friendly. GoPros can be rented, with the SD card kept as a souvenir, or guests may bring their own cameras. If no whales are spotted, a return trip voucher is provided.
