Our Whale Watch & Turtle Snorkel Tour in West Oahu delivers an unforgettable encounter with humpback whales – and we're so confident, we guarantee whale sightings or your next tour is free.
From December 1st to April 1st, these magnificent humpbacks make Hawaii's warm waters their sanctuary, and you'll witness their breathtaking displays up close. This 3-hour journey runs from 2:30pm to 5:00pm, limited to just 6 guests for an intimate experience that feels worlds away from crowded tourist boats.
Your adventure begins with 2:00pm check-in at the harbor, followed by boarding and safety briefing at 2:15pm.

But whales are just the beginning. From 4:00pm to 4:30pm, we explore the coastline searching for spinner dolphins, green sea turtles, and occasionally rough-toothed, spotted, or bottlenose dolphins. The snorkeling opportunities with sea turtles and vibrant reef fish add another magical dimension to your Whale Watch & Turtle Snorkel Tour in West Oahu Waianae experience.
