Description
Our whale watching tours are affordable and are crewed by our local Captains. The best time to see Humpback whales in Hawaii is between the months of December and April. There is no better place to view Whales, than from our catamaran. Join us off the south shore of Oahu and see the whales for yourself! These playful and surprisingly acrobatic animals have a strong cultural value to native Hawaiians, as a whale represents Kanaloa, the god of all ocean life. With us as your guide, we assure you that our crew will do their best to spot Hawaii’s beautiful marine life for you! Join us for an unforgettable experience, as we guarantee whale sightings. If you don’t see whales during your first trip, your next trip is free on us!
