What to expect

Set out on a Big Island whale watching cruise to explore the waters of the Hawaii Humpback Whale Sanctuary, and see amazing views of Hawaii's winter visitors, the humpback whales! Watch from the comfort of a power boat on a morning or afternoon tour.

Each winter, humpback whales make their way from the chilly waters of Alaska to the warm waters of Hawaii, and they can often be seen playing, relaxing, and raising their young along the coastlines of the Hawaiian islands. You can have a front-row seat to see these magnificent marine mammals as your expert local captain and crew take you out into the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary on a comfortable power boat. Experience the best whale watching cruises on the Big Island of Hawaii, with a fun-filled and family-friendly experience for all ages!

This activity only operates in the winter. Please book the Wild Dolphin Swim & Snorkel Cruise with Expert Guide during the Spring, Summer, and Fall months.
