Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise

The Honolulu whale watching cruise with Island Divers Hawaii Kai provides an intimate and unique experience aboard the 50-foot US Coast Guard certified Sea Fox. This 1.5 to 2-hour cruise takes guests through Maunalua Bay to observe humpback whales, which are present in Hawaii from November to May, with peak season between January and March.

Wildlife Sightings and Experience

In addition to humpback whales, guests may see flying fish, green sea turtles, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, various sea birds, and occasionally a Hawaiian monk seal. The cruise includes a whale guarantee, allowing guests to return on another scheduled whale watch if no whales are seen during their trip.

What to Expect

Guests should arrive on time and have waivers signed before check-in. After boarding, the captain provides a safety briefing. The cruise departs through the private marina and returns shortly after sunset to ensure arrival before dark. Upon return, guests can exchange photos of whales and other wildlife with the crew.
