All Aboard!
Hop aboard the Robalo powerboat and get ready for an exciting ocean adventure! The captains and crew will kick things off by sharing some safety tips and giving you a quick overview of the day’s plan.
Departure
Depart from the harbor and head north along the coast, where you’ll be treated to stunning views of the Waianae mountain range. Fun fact: it’s the first mountain range formed by the volcanic eruptions that created Oahu!
Find the Whales
Cruise up to 5 miles offshore to search for the humpback whales. Witness the beauty of these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Learn about their fascinating behavior from a knowledgeable crew as you enjoy the scenic views, capture stunning photos, and relax with music on board.
Additional Wildlife Sightings
Next, cruise along the coast to spot incredible marine wildlife, from near-shore spinner dolphins to offshore species like rough-tooth, spotted, and bottlenose dolphins, or even pilot whales.
Relax Down the Coast
Unwind with your favorite drink (BYOB) in hand as you cruise back down the coastline. The guide will share stories that only locals know to give you an authentic Hawaii experience.
