Experience one of Hawai‘i’s most powerful natural events on this two-hour expedition off Puako and the Kohala Coast. Witness the annual return of the North Pacific humpbacks as they breed, give birth, and rest in calm waters.
From a comfortable six-passenger vessel, observe breaches, tail slaps, and gentle giants swimming within arm’s reach. Unlike crowded channels, Puako offers space and silence, ensuring personal and respectful whale encounters.
All tours maintain federal whale protection guidelines with minimum approach distances. Rescheduling is available for inclement weather, especially in winter months.
