LĀ HAWAIʻI

Whale Watching & Turtle Snorkling
(Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)

Winter whale watching season has begun!

Leave the city behind and head to the stunning west coast of Oahu for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Aboard a spacious catamaran, you’ll embark on a relaxing tour in search of majestic humpback whales, which migrate thousands of miles from the North Pacific to Hawaii’s warm waters each winter to breed and welcome new calves.

After witnessing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, the adventure continues with snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, where you’ll swim alongside graceful sea turtles and colorful tropical fish.

This combination of powerful wild whales and vibrant marine life makes for an unforgettable day on the West Coast of Oahu—one of the most memorable experiences Hawaii has to offer!
