Raft Whale Watch

$45

Enjoy ocean level whale watching on our Explorer Super Rafts.


Our twin engine Explorer Super Rafts are very fast, comfortable and very stable vessels with an on-board restroom and give our guests more time to watch whales and less time traveling to and from our leviathan friends. Be a part of the action ? close to the water and the whales ? enjoy a truly remarkable experience with our Humpback Whales ? the leviathans of the deep.


Whale Watch features
  • Up close and personal viewing ? our Explorer Super Rafts offer our guests ?ocean level viewing? of the whales, not 15 feet above the water as in the larger boats ? be close to the action and the whales.
  • Get a great view from every seat. Hear the ?songs of the Humpback Whales? from our Hydrophones and learn from local whale experts ? our captain and crew.
  • Learn and interact with narration by our always fun, always friendly experienced crew and marine naturalists.
  • Avoid the crowds of the larger boats, it is more fun to view the whales with a few friends rather than 100+ strangers.
  • We supply sodas, juices and bottled water. All of our Explorer Super Rafts are equipped with an on-board Restroom.
  • We are sponsors of the Hawaii Whale Research Foundation.
