Overview

Every year, humpback whales travel up to 3,000 miles from their polar feeding grounds to their warm tropical breeding grounds here in Hawai’i! While the whales are in Hawai’i we get to see a variety of breeding related behaviors! Have you ever seen a 30 ton whale breach completely out of the water? It’s an unbelievable sight to see! We can also see behaviors like tail or pec slapping, spy hopping (yes, they can look at you!) and even heat runs (males competing to mate with a female)! We meet at the harbor at 7:30 am and get back to the dock around 12:30 pm. Because it is a private tour, we can split up the time whale watching and snorkeling whichever way you like. Generally we spend a few hours watching whales and when the sun comes out, and it’s a little warmer, we can go snorkeling!
