What To Expect

Join us for an unforgettable whale watching adventure departing from Waikiki, Honolulu, where you’re guaranteed to see these magnificent creatures in the wild or we’ll rebook you on another one of our whale-watching tours for free! Humpback whales migrate to Hawaii every winter to mate, give birth, and raise their young in the warm, shallow waters. Along the way, you might also encounter other local wildlife such as dolphins, sea turtles, and even native fish from our second story deck or our underwater viewing room

Activity name

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.
