Experience whale watching like no other place in the USA! Humpback whales arrive yearly in the Hawaiian Islands after a 3,000 mile journey to breed, have calf and to nurse their young. If you are visiting Hawaii during this time, don’t miss out and reserve your seat to see these magnificent creatures up close. Hawaii is the only state in the USA where humpback whales mate, calve and nurse their young. You’ll hear singing Humpback whales through our underwater hydrophone. If you’re lucky you may also see Spinner Dolphins.

So Many Whales!!

We got a late start because their regular boat wasn't available but that turned out to be a good thing. The water was very choppy and the boat we used was big enough to handle the swells. We all joked that it was a combination thrill ride and whale watch. But the captain and crew did a good job of checking on everyone and making sure we were safe. We were one of the only boats out whale watching. After about an hour I was starting to lose hope of seeing a whale but then we saw them and they suddenly decided to put on a show! We saw one breach after another! I couldn't get over it! It's like they were just there to entertain us. The captain was doing a great job of going back and forth to get us a good view, while still maintaining a respectful distance. when people ask me about the best part of my trip to Hawaii, Whale Watching is the first thing I say- and the Hang Loose team made it memorable. Thanks!

So Fortunate to see Many Whales

The crew on the boat was so professional and friendly.

We were clearly informed on what to expect and how to point out a whale siting.

Since we were on the tour in February, there were plenty of whales !!! The captain was able to get us close to the whales and he provided very good insight on the whale activity.
