Frequently Asked Questions

How many people will be on board the vessel?

Up to 49 passengers can ride aboard in addition to the crew.
When is whale season?

Whale season in Hawai'i typically begins in late November and lasts until early May, with peak sightings occurring between January and March. This period is when North Pacific Humpback Whales migrate from the cold waters of Alaska to the warm, tropical waters of Hawai'i for breeding, birthing, and nurturing their calves. So if you're planning your visit and looking forward to a potential whale sighting, these are the best months to book your trip and your sunset dinner cruise.
Is snorkeling safe for beginners?

Absolutely, snorkeling is safe for beginners. Our experienced and friendly crew provides detailed instructions and safety guidelines for those new to snorkeling. We offer modern equipment and personal flotation devices to ensure safety.
