Whale Tails and Sunset Sails

Where golden light meets deep blue sea – and humpback whales steal the show.

About the Tour

oahu sunset cruise whale watching

Set sail aboard our premium power catamaran for an intimate whale watching sunset safari along Oʻahu’s wild west coast. With only a handful of guests on board, this isn’t your average sunset cruise — it’s a front-row seat to nature’s most breathtaking finale. Glide past the Waiʻanae Mountains, scan the horizon for dolphins and whales, and sip a refreshing beverage as the sun sinks into the Pacific.

Tour Highlights

  • Whale watching only (other wildlife as encountered)
  • Small-group experience (max 10 guests)
  • Luxury power catamaran with shaded seating and private restroom
  • Panoramic views of Kaʻena Point and Waiʻanae coastline
  • Seasonal humpback whale and resident dolphin sightings

  • Perfect for couples, families, and ocean lovers
  • $215 per person shared charter – we mix and match parties for up to 10 guests (inquire for larger groups)

What to Expect

Board in the mid-afternoon and settle in as we head north along the coast. Keep your eyes on the water — winter months may bring humpbacks in competitive displays or more endearing mother whale and calf moments. In the golden hours, we’ll pause offshore for that salty connection.

Kaʻena Point – Whale Central

Venture farther than most other boats to Kaʻena Point, the most whale-rich area on Oʻahu. This remote, rugged coastline is a biological hotspot where humpback whales gather during breeding season — offering you a front-row seat to awe-inspiring behaviors like heat runs, breaches, tail slaps, and vocalizations.
