About this experience

Here's your chance to experience West Oahu's most spectacular marine adventure along the pristine Waianae coast. Our Whale Watch & Turtle Snorkel Tour in West Oahu delivers an unforgettable encounter with humpback whales - and we're so confident, we guarantee whale sightings or your next tour is free.

From December 1st to April 1st, these magnificent humpbacks make Hawaii's warm waters their sanctuary, and you'll witness their breathtaking displays up close. This 3-hour journey runs from 2:30pm to 5:00pm, limited to just 6 guests for an intimate experience that feels worlds away from crowded tourist boats.

Your adventure begins with 2:00pm check-in at the harbor, followed by boarding and safety briefing at 2:15pm. Once we depart at 2:30pm, our crew shares captivating stories about humpback behavior and West Oahu's rich maritime history as we cruise toward prime whale watching waters. Between 3:00pm and 4:00pm, you'll be mesmerized by these gentle giants against the dramatic backdrop of the Waianae mountain range.

But whales are just the beginning. From 4:00pm to 4:30pm, we explore the coastline searching for spinner dolphins, green sea turtles, and occasionally rough-toothed, spotted, or bottlenose dolphins. The snorkeling opportunities with sea turtles and vibrant reef fish add another magical dimension to your Whale Watch & Turtle Snorkel Tour in West Oahu Waianae experience.

We provide coolers and ice upon request for your BYOB refreshments and snacks. Tours require a minimum of 4 passengers to operate - if we don't meet minimum numbers, we'll reschedule at no cost. Private charters are available, and you'll receive full refunds for cancellations made 48 hours prior. Return to harbor is at 5:00pm, leaving you with incredible memories and photos of West Oahu's stunning marine life.
