Spirit of Aloha Whale Watch Tour from Port Waikiki

About this activity

Take to the seas off Waikiki on the Spirit of Aloha Whale Watch Tour, a dedicated 2-hour wildlife cruise from Waikiki. Operates during whale season (Dec–Apr), when humpback whales migrate to Hawaiian waters to breed and calve. Departing aboard a roomy 65-foot sailing catamaran, watch for majestic whales breaching, spouting, or slapping tails—often joined by spinner dolphins and sea turtles drifting nearby. Unlimited non-alcoholic drinks are included, and a “wildlife guarantee” lets guests return free if no whales are seen. Expect sweeping coastal vistas, expert naturalist commentary, and plentiful photo ops. The vessel’s layout offers both shaded cabin areas and open decks—ideal for families, photographers, and anyone craving an immersive marine experience.
