About this experience
The Waikiki Whale Watch departs from Pau Hana Place at the Ala Wai Harbor in Waikiki and takes passengers out on a trimaran to spot humpback whales in the open ocean. The trimaran has a spacious deck and a restroom on board. Naturalists sail with the crew to guide passengers to good vantage points for seeing the whales, and the boat is set up to support photography during the outing.
The tour also includes hydrophone technology, which picks up whale songs from beneath the surface and plays them back through a surround sound stereo system. This adds an auditory layer to the experience alongside watching for whales above water. The operator describes this as a distinct part of what the tour offers, not something typically included on whale watching trips.
The meeting point is Pau Hana Place at the Ala Wai Harbor. Arriving early is a good idea to allow time for check-in, waiver verification, and parking before the boat departs. The tour runs as a shared charter and does not offer a private booking option.
