Wake Up with the Whales

Ocean Sports - Wake Up with the Whales


Come see the humpback whales frolic in Hawaii's warm waters! Hawaii whale watching is definitely an activity you don’t want to miss out on if you’re visiting the islands during whale watching season. Ocean Sports offers a variety of tours including this Wake Up with the Whales tour. Enjoy Kona coffee, soft drinks, crunchy granola bar snacks and the chance to see these large whales up close. Early morning waters are generally the calmest of the day.

All Big Island whale watching tours with Ocean Sports have trained naturalists on board, as well as hydrophones that allow you to hear the humpback’s songs that can be hauntingly beautiful.

Tour Highlights:

  • Enjoy whale watch cruise along the scenic Kohala Coast
  • Plenty of great photo opportunities


Tour Inclusions:

  • Canned soft drinks and juices
  • Individually wrapped breakfast snacks
