Barbara_H, Apr 2026

A Whale is a Time

Allison and Levi were great! Went over all safety protocols before we went out. Knowledgeable and funny. Nice clean and roomy vessel. Found a group of whales that we were able to follow and watch for a good while. Don’t hesitate to book this excursion!

From Maalaea: Whale Watching Tour Aboard the Quicksilver

Elizabeth_C, Apr 2026

Amazing Day on the Water

It was a big and safe vessel first of all. The staff were very nice and informative and they had a photographer which I didn’t expect. The boat ride was amazing and we did see whales! And as a special extra you could buy the photos from your cruise which I did. I would highly recommend Quicksilver and they were the most affordable, Hawaii is expensive.

Maui: Ultimate Whale Watch from Lahaina

Sarah_H, Apr 2026

This tour was incredible!...

This tour was incredible! Lacey and Lexi were great and so knowledgeable! We went later in the season so we were hopeful to get at least few sightings but we were fortunate that Lacey found a group of males and blew all of our expectations away. Lexi gave us lots of insights to their behavior and you could tell the whole staff has such a passion for what they do. I definitely recommend booking this tour!

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel

Connie_B, Apr 2026

Amazing experience

This Night Manteray snorkel was absolutely amazing! The people were awesome, the equipment was great. Love the warm shower when you get back on the boat. It took a bit of strength to hold on, but it was worth every sore muscle. I also recommend renting the go pro camera. We got some amazing video. This experience was definitely a highlight!

Kona Snorkel Tour: Captain Cook Reef Snorkel, Dolphin & Sea Caves

Jessica_J, Apr 2026

Must do experience while on the Big Island!

We had an amazing snorkeling trip to Captain Cook on the Big Island and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, David, went above and beyond to make sure we had a relaxing and memorable time. We went as a family with three of our kids, ages 11, 14, and 17, and it was something all of us truly enjoyed. The smiles, laughter, and excitement from our teens was the best part! The water was absolutely beautiful—clear, calm, and full of marine life. David was outstanding and took the time to explain different areas of the ocean as well as interesting details along the coastline, which made the trip both fun and educational for the kids and adults alike. After we finished snorkeling, we were treated to delicious, fresh pineapple, which was the perfect way to end our time in the water. It was such a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated. We were especially impressed with how conscious the crew was about protecting the reef. They clearly emphasized keeping the reef clean and untouched, which made us feel good about snorkeling responsibly and respecting the natural environment. Overall, this was a memorable experience for our whole family, and we would absolutely recommend this snorkel trip to anyone visiting the Big Island.

Oahu: Submarine Scooter Adventure

Jack_S, Apr 2026

Read before you go!

Bring your own towels to dry. Bring waterproof filming equipment because it will get wet. Your face will get wet. Your hair will get wet. You are required to dive under water for a short amount of time. Only light snacks and water are provided on the boat. No place to change so you gotta already change first before getting onto the boat.

2-Hour Oahu Whale Watch from Ala Wai Harbor, Waikiki

Sandy_F, Mar 2026

Whale of a good time!

This was the best day in Oahu for us so far. Logan, Peter, and Vanessa did a great job of spotting and pointing out the whales to us. We got to see several whales surface multiple times including a mom and her baby. 10/10 would recommend. Even if we hadn’t found any whales, would still have loved this tour just for the great views of the coastline. We loved every minute of it!!!

Luxury Snorkel Cruise, Local Buffet with Whale & Dolphin Watch

Karieanne_E, Feb 2026

Top excursion I’ve ever done (and I travel a lot)

Easily the best excursion we have ever done. Crew was amazing, food was awesome. We saw whales and 2 types of dolphins and that wasn’t even the snorkel part! The told us to get back on the boat but in that moment they saw an eagle ray and told me to get back in the water. I’ve never had a tour care as much about our experience. I cannot recommend enough. Get the photos!!! Tip the crew and book this excursion!

Not seeing something you are looking for?

Pacific humpback whales are drawn to Hawaii’s shallow, warm waters—especially around Maui—making it a perfect place for whale watching in Hawaii (November–May is the prime season.). Tours go out on a variety of boats, from catamaran to raft. Hawaii whale watching is a family-friendly experience, and be sure to have your cameras and binoculars ready for when the humpback whales surface to say hello.

What are the best Hawaii whale-watching tours?

What are the most affordable Hawaii whale-watching tours?

Prices for Hawaii whale-watching tours vary depending on duration and inclusions. If you're looking for experiences on the lower end of the price range, these are the best tours to book now:

Are Hawaii whale-watching tours worth it?

Yes, Hawaii whale-watching tours are worth it. The Aloha State is one of the best places in the world to observe whales. In fact, half of the 16 baleen whale species found on earth live in Hawaii. Because they're so large, whales aren't suitable for zoos and sanctuaries. For most people, going on a whale-watching tour is their only opportunity to experience the world's largest mammal.

Per one customer who booked the Eye-Level Whale Watching Eco-Raft Tour from Lahaina, "Amazing company, very professional and exceptional from top to bottom. If you are considering a fun outing for your family this is it. Super nice staff, boats are in great shape. We found whales inside of 10 minutes but even if we hadn't this was a 5-star experience."

What should I know before booking Hawaii whale-watching tours?

Before booking Hawaii whale-watching tours, make sure your expectations align with the season. The whale-watching season runs from mid-December through mid-May. Some whales can be seen year-round; however, your best chance of having a great sighting is to go on a tour during January, February, or March when humpback whales are migrating south. Also, keep in mind that most tours aren’t specific to whale watching. Read the tour description and reviews to gauge how much of the tour will be spent searching for other wildlife, including sea turtles, dolphins, and manta rays. Some tours even include snorkeling stops.
