Experience this sensational opportunity aboard our semi-private charter. We have limited our tours to just 6 guest per excursion to offer the most personalized adventure. View humpback whales in their natural habitat as they migrate from the frigid Alaskan waters back to the warm waters of Hawaii annually. Every winter, the waters surrounding Oahu transform into a stage for one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles—the migration of humpback whales. The purpose of this migration is twofold: to give birth and nurse their calves in the protected bays, and to engage in elaborate courtship rituals. The humpback whale migration to Oahu offers a unique opportunity for residents and visitors alike to witness these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Whale watching excursions abound, allowing observers to marvel at the acrobatic displays and hear the haunting melodies of these magnificent creatures, creating lasting memories of the annual pilgrimage to Hawaii's welcoming waters.

What are people saying about Oahu

Cherilyn_B, Jun 2026

These wonderful people...

These wonderful people really treat you like Ohana. They want to make sure you are comfortable and safe during the entire trip. From the moment of pick up to drop off it was a very pleasant tour. I was traveling alone and got lucky and only had 5 others were booked with me. So it was a much more personal experience. We got to se a few dolphins where other boats that went out didn’t see anything. We also stopped by to see turtles and got to hold an octopus. The snacks, drinks and lunch were a nice bonus and very delicious. I loved hearing stories from the crew and the Island and Hawaiian culture too.

Absolutely amazing experience!! I felt safe the whole time. There’s a 15-20 minute ride out on a boat and then you get to snorkel around the sharks for about 30 minutes. Photos are included which is an added bonus! No one would believe we did this without proof haha. Would absolutely recommend.

Waikiki: Small Group Turtle Canyon Snorkel Boat Tour

Ishael_R, May 2026

Great experience for first time snorkelers!

Captain Sam and Maciel did such an amazing job for our snorkeling turtle tour. My 7-year-old twins enjoyed their first time snorkeling ever! We appreciated the chill and humorous vibes that didn't overshadow safety measures. We all felt very safe and well taken cared of. We learned a lot about Oahu's wildlife. Sailing next to dolphins, swimming next to turtles, fish, and touching sea urchin has definitely become a core memory for our group. Highly, highly recommended! Thank you so much!

Amazing Waikiki snorkeling with Living Ocean tours

We had a great time. The crew was amazing. We had first timers and experienced snorklers, both had a fun time and great experience. The crew of the boat was patient with the first timers and made the extra effort to make the experience amazing. I would recommend this to anyone. The wildlife they were able to show us and give info about was spectacular.

Amazing sunset boat ride...

Amazing sunset boat cruise experience in Hawaii! The views were absolutely breathtaking and the crew made the entire trip fun, relaxing, and unforgettable. Watching the sun set over the ocean with the island views all around was something we’ll never forget. Great music, great vibes, and an incredible atmosphere from start to finish. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Hawaii!

Waikiki: 2-Hour Whale Watching with Guaranteed Sightings on Oahu

Dustin_M, Apr 2026

Super fun with great hosts! Will be back next time I'm in Hawaii!

While we didn't see any whales (it was late in the season, so I knew it would be a risk) we still had a lot of fun! The captain and workers (I'm sorry I forgot their names) were really funny. They made jokes, sang parody songs about whales, and even got other people on the boat to get out of their comfort zone and make "whale noises" into the microphone. So even though we didn't see the whales, it was still worth every penny and I plan on taking advantage of their guarantee to get a free ride in the future to see the whales, even if it is another 10 years before I make it back to Hawaii! 10 out of 10, 100%, A+! Highly recommend!

TuyetVan_B, Apr 2026

Sunset whale watching is a fun experience.

It was a great experience to cruise a long the coastline looking at the city and Diamond Head with beautiful sunset. We saw a few whales sightings and dolphins. Staff were very knowledgeable on whale migration. Great service and friendly talks of staff made the sailing so joyful. We loved the sailing.

1.5-Hour Guided Marine Life Tour

Karen_K, Jan 2026

Excellent tour, super...

Excellent tour, super fun, perfect Zodiac-style boat to best see and experience the whales and other lovely creatures. Crew is knowledgeable, but not overly chatty so you can just enjoy the experience. Kevin, the owner/ operator, has been doing this for years and grew up in the area. The crew was chill, the boat was perfect, we took turns riding on top in the "Captain's Chairs", and they were so safe and helpful getting us up and down the sling steps. They appear to love what they're doing! Anyway, I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that I got on the very next tour after the original booked experience returned to the marina! Almost 4 hours out with Icean Outfitters, loved every minute. We saw so many humpbacks, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone could see everything. We also saw Galapagos sharks and large schools of smaller fish. Such an experience! Take a light jacket, sunscreen, a hat that won't fly away in the wind and a bottle of water.
