Whale Watching Cruise from Kewalo Basin Harbor

The whale watching cruise provides a 90-minute seasonal wildlife search departing from Kewalo Basin Harbor in Honolulu. Guests board a 45-passenger glass-bottom vessel and receive a safety orientation before heading toward open waters off Waikīkī.

The captain selects the best route based on ocean conditions and reported whale activity. Passengers are encouraged to watch for mist-like spouts, splashes, dorsal fins, and other signs of humpback whales, which may appear alone, with calves, or in groups.

What to Expect on the Whale Watching Cruise

  • Duration: approximately 90 minutes
  • Group size: up to 45 passengers
  • Departure point: Kewalo Basin Harbor
  • Views of Waikīkī coastline and Diamond Head
  • Glass-bottom portal viewing when conditions allow

Because humpback whales are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Each cruise is a genuine wildlife search, offering unobstructed ocean views and a chance to experience Hawai‘i’s marine environment.
