1.5-Hour Guided Whale Watching and Marine Life Tour
Overview
Join us aboard one of the fastest and smoothest rides on the North Shore for the Whale Watching and Marine Wildlife Tour. Our experienced crew will guide you to the best spots to see dolphins, shark, rays, sea turtles, and more. If you are here during Hawaii’s winter months, you may even see the mighty humpback whales on their annual migration (October - April). Our boats are fast and agile, allowing us to get to remote spots quickly. And with just 18 seats onboard, you get an intimate experience with the knowledgeable crew and captain.
