Experience whales on a two-hour whale watch tour. Only Ocean Sports' Whale Watches depart from 2 different locations within the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary waters, you won't have to travel far to see the majestic Humpback whales. Tours include an expert interpretation from on-board marine naturalists, great photo ops, and an underwater hydrophone to hear the whales as they sing. Best Guarantee on the island – see a Humpback or ride again for FREE until you do – or choose to try a Snorkel Adventure Cruise or Pau Hana Sunset Cruise for just the difference in fares.
