About Whale Watching
Humpback whales visit Hawaii in the winter months, and these cruises run during that season. They leave from Waikiki, Honolulu, the Waianae coast, Haleiwa and Ko Olina. Some combine whale watching with snorkeling, dolphin watching or a sunset sail.
Whales are wild, so ask the operator what happens if none are seen. Bring a light jacket for the wind on deck, and check each listing for the dates it runs, the departure point and what is included.
