🐋 Body Glove - Afternoon Whale Watching Tour

Every year in the winter months more than 8,000 Pacific humpback whales travel over 3,500 miles from Alaska to Hawaii where they mate and nurse their young. This whale watching excursion offers you a rare chance to experience whales up close and in their natural habitat.

An onboard marine naturalist will share interesting facts about the whales, and you'll be able to listen to whales communicating with each other via an underwater hydrophone. You may also get to see spinner dolphins, pilot and sperm whales, manta rays and turtles during this cruise. Whale sightings are guaranteed or you get to come again for free.
