About this experience

Every winter, Hawaii's waters come alive with the spectacular arrival of humpback whales, and there's no better way to witness this natural phenomenon than aboard a spacious 65-foot power catamaran. From December 15 through April 15, these magnificent creatures migrate to our warm tropical waters to give birth and nurture their young-creating unforgettable viewing opportunities.

Your 2-hour adventure begins at 1 Holomoana Street near the Prince Waikiki Hotel, where you'll board a vessel with both indoor and outdoor seating areas, giving you flexibility to stay comfortable while scanning the horizon for those magical moments when humpbacks breach, slap their tails, or simply surface for air.

As we cruise toward prime viewing areas, you'll enjoy stunning perspectives of Waikiki and the endless Pacific. Light snacks keep you energized during the excursion, with drinks available for purchase onboard.

This family-friendly experience welcomes all ages, making it ideal for creating memories across generations. Plan to arrive 30 minutes early for check-in and waivers. Don't forget your camera, towel, sunscreen, and a light jacket for changing ocean conditions. Basic swimming skills are required for any water activities.
