About this experience

Tradewind Charters runs this private whale watching charter out of Kewalo Harbor in Honolulu, departing along Oahu's south shore in search of humpback whales. The entire vessel is reserved for your group alone, so there is no sharing the deck with strangers. A sailing yacht or power catamaran can be selected depending on your group's size and preference, and each option comes with an experienced captain and crew on board.

Humpback whales visit the Hawaiian Islands seasonally to calve in warm, sheltered waters. During the trip, the crew searches for breaches, tail slaps, and mother-and-calf interactions. Dolphins, sea turtles, and manta and eagle rays are also frequently spotted along the way. The crew shares information about whale behavior and the local marine environment throughout the outing.

Water and soft drinks are included.
