About this experience
The Private Whale Watching Cruise with Honolulu Sailing Co. takes guests out on a private luxury yacht departing near Waikiki, with Diamond Head visible along the shoreline. Humpback whales migrate to Hawaiian waters between December and April to calve, making this tour suited to those visiting during those months. Dolphins, sea turtles, and manta rays are also sometimes spotted from the boat during the sail.
The meeting point is in Honolulu, and there is no hotel pickup, so guests need to arrange their own transportation to the departure location. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a towel, and a camera. The operator does not allow spray or tinted sunscreen. The tour operates as a private charter, so the boat is not shared with strangers, making it a relaxed option for groups who want the deck to themselves.
