Royal Humpback Whale Experience

Each winter, thousands of North Pacific humpback whales migrate from Alaska to Hawai’i’s warm waters. Join a local captain and crew aboard Hilo’s only commercial tour boat for a scenic journey along the East Hawai’i coastline.

Watch for whale spouts, tail slaps, and breaches while enjoying educational narration about whale behavior, migration, and cultural significance. Take in breathtaking views of Mauna Kea, lush coastal waterfalls, and the volcanic landscape.
