Whale Watching from Waikiki Beach

Every winter, thousands of humpback whales migrate from Alaska to the warm waters around Hawaii to breed, calve, and raise their young. From December through March, our Spirit of Aloha Whale Watch Tour is a dedicated 2-hour excursion specifically designed to find and observe humpback whales in their natural habitat.

What Makes This Tour Special

These trips are dedicated to whale watching — not a general cruise with a chance of whales. The Spirit of Aloha is a spacious, stable catamaran with plenty of room to move around for the best viewing positions. This is an eco-friendly whale watching excursion.

Unlimited soda, juice, and water are included. The tour departs from and returns to the Hilton Pier.

Frequently Asked Questions

How close do you get to the whales? Federal regulations require vessels to maintain distance from humpback whales. However, whales are wild animals and may surface near the boat on their own, which can create remarkable viewing opportunities.

Is this trip OK for young children? Yes, all ages are welcome. The catamaran is stable and spacious.

What if no whales are spotted? You get a free re-ride on any trip of same or lesser value. That's our whale guarantee.

When is the best time to see whales? The season runs December through March. Humpback whale activity in Hawaii waters is well documented during this period.
