As the winter months in Hawaii approach, we begin to see a drastic change in the ocean. Large surf swells descend upon north facing shores, and the temperature drops ever so slightly. In the up country areas of the islands, temperatures can get downright cold, prompting locals to grab a sweatshirt and bundle up, Hawaiian style.
We also see one of the most incredible sites in all of Hawaii, and welcome our favorite visitors from the waters off Alaska. The Humpback Whale migration brings thousands of fathers, mothers and their calves to Hawaii’s warm waters for a winter of breeding, feeding, and raising the young. It is a very common site to spot a breeching whale from the beach, breaking the horizon with a mighty leap and splash.
One of the most popular winter activates for locals and visitors is taking a Whale Watching Cruise for the chance to spot these majestic creatures in areas where they are know to frequent. Each island offers cruises at great rates, and many include appetizers, snacks, and refreshments for you to enjoy while you cruise and enjoy the scenery, just waiting for Humpback Whales to emerge.
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to see one of the oceans most mysterious and captivating creatures. A cruise along Hawaii’s coast is already special, and once you add in Humpback Whales, it makes the cruise even more special, and once you spot your first whale, you’ll be amazed and the pure beauty of them.

With the limited amount of time that whales are in Hawaii, the time to see them is very limited. And with the limited timing, the cruises are known to sell out quickly. Each vessel has very limited space, so be sure to make your reservations early. This is a very special time and everyone loves to see the whales. Don't wait to book your Whale Watching Cruise.
Due to the high volume of visitors traveling to Hawaii year round, our Hawaii tours and activities sell out quickly. In many cases, tours sell out weeks or months in advance.
