With just 30 passengers maximum, you'll have plenty of space to move around and capture those perfect shots. The boat is wheelchair accessible, so everyone in your ohana can join the excitement.

While you're scanning the horizon for whale activity, the knowledgeable crew shares fascinating insights about humpback behavior and migration patterns. These aren't just pretty creatures-they're remarkable athletes traveling thousands of miles to raise their young in Hawaii's protected waters.
Throughout your journey, complimentary light snacks, drinks, and fresh fruit keep you comfortable as you watch for spouts and breaches. Don't forget your camera and sunscreen for this outdoor adventure! The crew knows these waters intimately and positions the boat for optimal viewing opportunities.
