Discover the Magic of Humpback Whale Watching in Oahu

Dive into an unforgettable adventure as you witness the awe-inspiring humpback whales in their natural playground off the coast of Oahu. Each winter, from mid-December to March, these magnificent giants migrate thousands of miles to the warm, serene waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Their purpose? To mate, give birth, and nurture their young in a protected paradise.

Measuring up to 45 feet in length and weighing a staggering 35 tons, humpback whales are a marvel to behold. But their size isn’t the only thing that will leave you amazed. Male humpbacks create enchanting and intricate songs during mating season—an underwater symphony unlike anything you’ve heard before. Imagine listening to their melodies while watching them breach the water’s surface, or seeing their massive tails and pectoral fins slap the waves in dramatic displays.

The crystal-clear Hawaiian waters offer an exceptional view of these gentle giants as they leap, glide, and bond with their young. Their playful and acrobatic behavior is mesmerizing to witness, making this experience much more than just a tour—it’s an intimate encounter with some of nature’s most extraordinary creatures.

Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, an adventure seeker, or simply looking to soak in the beauty of Oahu, this is your chance to create a memory that will last a lifetime. Join us for a front-row seat to one of Earth’s greatest spectacles and feel the wonder of humpback whale watching in one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations.

Family friendly and must do! Captains Jenna and Ashley were kind and knowledgeable staff that gave my girls an unforgettable experience! I know it’s not always guaranteed but we were able to see some amazing turtles, fish, and whales. The team was patient and we sat and waited until suddenly three whales including a calf put in a show! All breached and came to say hi. We watched the calf bug the mama whale and it was such a sight to see. Most of us ended up shedding a tear of joy to be able to be so close to Gods creation. Thank you to staff for also diligently watching over my girls as they snorkeled. Safety and fun is their priority.

Amazing whale watching trip!! We have so many good things to say I don’t even know where to begin. Our experience with Dolphin Excursions was exceptional from start to finish. Captain Jenna & Lisa were so warm and accommodating. My MIL is afraid of the ocean but wanted to come whale watching anyway. They made sure to let us know the day before what the weather and wind forecast was so if she wanted to cancel she could without the fee. She decided to come & enjoyed herself despite facing a fear. Ashley & Capt Jenna took great care of us out on the water & made sure everyone was safe and having a wonderful time. They have amazing customer service & are extremely friendly and professional. We also saw so many whales, spinner dolphins & sea turtles. Would 💯 book them again for any excursion!

Highly recommend Love this company and the staff, I highly recommend this tour. This was my second time taking visitors out on this tour. Both times we saw whales, dolphins, and turtles. I love the zodiac boat and smaller number of guests. The staff is fantastic, down to earth, knowledgeable, and as excited to see the wildlife as the guests.

A Must do on the West Side 🤙🏼 Captain Lexi and Taylor is an awesome team. They landed us on a rare opportunity and we got to see a WHALE SHARK so close that it actually swam up to the boat and bumped it a couple times. We also got to see a monk seal and many whale tails along the route. Highly recommended, can’t compare the beauty of the west side.

We had a whale of a time 🐋 👍 Great trip by enthusiastic, experienced people. Highly recommended and although slightly more expensive than other tours it’s well worth the money. Car park area is a little sketchy but safe but don’t come expecting to find shops and cafes etc

Best Boat in the Water My husband and I had an amazing time with our 6 and 11 year old, as well as my parents (60s). It was truly an accommodating experience, from being picked up at our condo (which was not listed as an original pick up site), coffee, wet suit and fin fittings, lunch, and of course . . . The dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. The adventure did not disappoint. The staff were also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. There were many other boats looking for dolphins and we were always the first on the scene and the first in the water. Highly recommend!
