Enjoy a whale watch cruise along popular Waikiki Beach!
During Hawaii’s whale watch season, which runs from December through April, humpback whales frolic in Hawaii’s warm waters to mate and nurse their young. Come aboard the Honi Olani, a 53-foot sailing catamaran, for the chance to see whales off Oahu’s south shore. Whale sightings are guaranteed on this tour. If you don’t see whales, come back again one more time for free! (Rerides only, no refunds).
