About this experience

West-side days on Oahu tend to end well, and the LA HAWAI'I - Whale Watching & Sunset Cruise is a solid reason to stay out past golden hour. Indigo Ocean Hawaii runs this 2-hour evening cruise along Oahu's west coast aboard a 42-passenger catamaran capped at 25 guests - so you're never packed in shoulder-to-shoulder.

Humpback whales move into Hawaiian waters during winter, and this sunset cruise puts you out on the water as the sky does what it does on the west side. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed - wild animals don't follow a schedule - and note that no refunds are given for failure to see whales or other wildlife. The small-group format keeps things relaxed regardless. Difficulty is easy, no swimming ability required, and kids as young as 3 are welcome. Infants too.

One thing worth sorting out before you book: there's no hotel pickup. This is a meeting-point cruise at a harbor on Oahu's west coast - look for the second McDonald's, then the harbor will be on your left. Drive times to the harbor will vary depending on your starting point and traffic conditions - plan accordingly. That drive makes more sense if you're already spending the day out west.

Snacks and water are included. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a light jacket - the evening breeze on the water is real. You're also welcome to bring your own food and drinks.

Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before departure. Groups of 6 or more need 72 hours' notice. Charter cruises require one week's notice. No refunds are issued for wildlife no-shows. The LA HAWAI'I - Whale Watching & Sunset Cruise caps at 25 guests, so if you've got a date in mind, booking ahead makes sense.
