Overview

Step aboard a boat and experience whale watching like never before. On this special cruise, see humpback whales in their natural habitat and hear them too.

With a partnership with the award-winning immersive experience “Sounds of the Ocean,” be immersed in the hauntingly beautiful songs of the humpbacks as they echo through the Pacific. For twenty-five unforgettable minutes, everything else fades away and you’re transported into the whales’ world of sound with onboard hydrophone technology and personal headphones.

Along the way, expert naturalists will share the classic PacWhale Eco-Adventures experience you love — breathtaking encounters, small group interpretation, and fascinating whale behavior — but with a special focus on the incredible role sound plays in the lives of these ocean giants.

Discover how whales communicate, court, navigate, and even share cultural traditions through song. Learn about the growing challenges of noise pollution in the oceans.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Sound of the Ocean Whale Watch Sail?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Hawaii over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
