Sailing Charters in the Company of Whales

Whale Play "
Share
the tropical Pacific with humpback whalewatching and marine biologist
crew. Join us for a private ocean adventure and a lifetime memory
of watching Hawaii's humpback whales, up close and personal. Your
photography
gear will stay dry, while you view marine life in a non-invasive manner
- by sailboat. Come with us to experience the action first-hand.
You'll see how (and can even help!)
to collect data on the seasonal humpback whales (or other marine life we may come aross),
and feel good that your booking has helped with their conservation! You'll learn not only
to recognize whale behaviors, but also cutting edge theories of the meaning of whale
breaches (above) and song (heard on onboard hydrophone,) pectoral waves and slaps, and
more.
Our main
area of study contains one of the largest and fastest growing populations of the
endangered humpback whale in an unexploited area on the island of O'ahu. The whales here
are engaged in reproductive activities that include males competing for access to females
(aerial and aggressive displays), mothers with babies (calves) and other social
interactions.
Activites
below are combined to maximize your adventure. For specific details on each possibity,
please click on the link below. Evening/night charters do not include time in the water
(excepting overnighters), although we may very well still see the wildlife. Snorkeling on
morning charters may be weather dependant. While animals may still be viewed from the
surface, it is not always in our best interest to get in the water... :-)
