🐋 Hawaii Nautical – Waikiki Deluxe Whale Watch Sail (Kewalo Harbor – Honolulu)

From December through March, Hawaii’s warm, tranquil waters welcome thousands of majestic humpback whales. Join this eco-friendly whale watching sail along the scenic Waikiki coastline and witness these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

Your adventure begins with a short orientation and safety briefing, followed by fascinating insights into whale behavior and migration. As you set sail, your expert guide will help you spot telltale signs — spouts, tail slaps, or full breaches — while sharing engaging commentary about these amazing marine mammals.

As the boat approaches, you may see whales breaching, fluking, or spy-hopping, and even hear their haunting underwater songs. Keep your camera ready — these are moments you’ll never forget! Along the way, you may also encounter spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and seabirds gliding overhead.

If no whales are sighted during your dedicated whale watch sail, you’re invited to join another trip for free (reride only, no refunds).
