Waikoloa Whale Watching Cruise

Located just minutes from the resorts at Waikoloa, come and experience the thrill of encountering these 80,000-pound animals in a close and safe way.

Humpback whales travel to the Hawaiian waters every winter for calving and breeding. We often see baby whales curiously scouting out our boat, fluke tails popping up, spouting from the blowhole and even the occasional full breaching mature whale.

Leaving out of Puako Boat Ramp, we enter the nursing grounds of mother humpback whales and their babies almost instantly. Go out a little further and you may witness a competition pod, a battle between males over the female.

The captains and crew are very knowledgeable about the behavior of these animals behavior and will share insightful facts throughout the entire trip. You definitely don’t want to miss out on a once in a lifetime whale watching experience.

**We even guarantee whale sightings, or come again…FREE
