Whale Watching Adventure -Speed Boat & Small Group
Overview
This isn’t your average whale watching tour. Forget the crowded decks and slow-moving boats—this is whale watching with a shot of adrenaline. Hop aboard our high-speed inflatable boat and experience Waikiki’s coastline like never before as we search for the majestic Humpback Whales that migrate to Hawai‘i each winter.
Whales can surface anywhere, at any moment. That’s where we shine. Our fast, nimble vessel lets us cover more ocean and get to the action quicker than the big boats ever could.
Every trip is different, every encounter is thrilling, and every moment is yours. This is more than a tour—it’s a front-row seat to nature at its wildest.
Don't miss the prime whale watching season from December to April, with peak sightings from January to March.
Snacks and drinks are provided on your tour!
