Whale Watch Cruise
The spectacular Humpback Whales migrate south from December through April and are often sighted off shore. Every year, from winter to early spring, hundreds of these leviathans, up to 45 ft in length and weighing 30 tons, migrate about 3,600 miles from Alaska to mate, give birth and fast in Hawaii's tropical seas.
