Description:

Grab your camera and board a luxurious catamaran to spot majestic humpback whales that migrate to the warm Hawaiian waters each winter. This evening whale-watching tour is complete with an open bar, tropical snacks, and a front-row seat to witness the whales in their natural habitat.

Cruise the deep-blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and keep your eyes peeled for local marine life such as honu (Hawaiian sea turtles) and malolo (Hawaiian flying fish). Enjoy the Hawaiian breeze as your knowledgeable captain describes the kohola's (humpback whale's) migration pattern, history, and habitat.

Head to various pods in the shallow waters of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and learn about whale-surfacing behaviors. Each year, from roughly December through April, approximately 10,000 humpback whales seek the warm, shallow water off the Hawaiian coast to breed, calve, and nurse their young.

On the outdoor deck, enjoy the sunset and grab your favorite cocktail as you search for a whale breach. The whales drive their body almost 40 percent out of the water, creating an enormous (and picturesque) splash upon landing. Keep an ear out for whale songs, monitored by the boat's underwater hydrophone system.
