  2. Set sail with us along Oʻahu’s beautiful south shore for an unforgettable whale watching adventure! Each winter, humpback whales journey thousands of miles to Hawai‘i’s warm waters. Get a front-row seat to their incredible displays. You might see them breaching, tail-slapping or gliding beside the boat while dolphins play nearby. Our open-deck catamaran gives you 360° ocean views with Diamond Head as a stunning backdrop. Feel the ocean breeze, the rhythm of the waves and the true spirit of aloha with our local crew. If no whales show up that day, we’ll welcome you back for a free second sail — because every guest deserves to experience the magic of whale season in Hawai‘i.

About Oahu

Oahu pairs Waikiki's famous beach and Honolulu's city life with volcanic craters, rainforest valleys and the legendary surf of its North Shore.

Waikiki's crescent of sand, backed by hotels and the volcanic crater of Diamond Head, is the island's classic image, and the hike to the crater rim gives sweeping views. Downtown Honolulu holds ʻIolani Palace, home of Hawaiʻi's last monarchs, and the memorials at Pearl Harbor, including the USS Arizona Memorial, recall the attack of 1941.

Top-ranked sights in Oahu: Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Dole Plantation.
