Oahu Whale Watching

Every year from December through April thousands of Pacific humpback whales migrate from the cold waters off Alaska to the warm Hawaiian waters to mate, breed and raise their young. So many whales can be spotted in the waters off the Hawaiian islands that people often refer to the ocean as “whale soup.”

Whale watching tours are offered on all the islands. On Oahu, they conveniently depart from Honolulu Harbor, as well as from the North Shore. Expert naturalists are on board who will share interesting facts about the whales, and some Oahu whale watch tours also include lunch.

Go on a whale watching cruise to see these majestic animals. This is a fun as well as educational activity for the whole family. Make your selection from these exciting Oahu whale watching tours below.
