Hawaii is the only place in the United States where humpback whales mate, calve, and nurse their young. Every December through April, thousands of humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of Hawaii. Join this sail and snorkel tour in Kawaihae, Hawaii to spot these beautiful mammals, plus dolphins and green turtles on an exciting eco-friendly whale watching excursion. Guide commentary on the local marine environment will help you learn about your surroundings.
You'll get to see incredible sites from the water and stop for a thrilling snorkel experience. When you're in the warm water, look out for tropical fish, colourful coral, and Hawaiian green turtles! The vessel includes all of the amenities to make your trip smooth and comfortable, including an onboard bar, plenty of shade, two restrooms, ample seating both indoors and outside, a freshwater shower, and a sound system.
