Waikiki humpback whale watching on a spacious trimaran with a whales-guaranteed promise, BYOB on board, and great sighting help.

A 2-hour Waikiki whale watching cruise on a glass-bottom catamaran with an underwater viewing room, two decks, and rebooking if no whales.
“The trip was great. We were able to enjoy the view, see some whales and enjoy some drinks. The captain and the crew were the absolute best! Definitely recommend booking this cruise!”
Spot humpback whales on a 2.5-hour Waikiki cruise with skyline views, expert crew, BYO snacks, and onboard drinks.
“Hawaii peak whale season and no whales to be found. The boat hardly ventured 5 miles out off the coast line no whales come that close and none use any sonar or drone to spot them beyond ridiculous. In Norway we went 1 hour into the ocean to see sperm whales and they tracked them… you have the navy and so many resources here and you can’t spot a whale that’s a sham or a scam. I don’t even want to try again just wasted 2.5 hours of my life driving along the coast of Waikiki…. Also the boat crew said the whales don’t even breach here so take off…”
