Dive into winter with a whale watching cruise for an experience you will never forget! We’re thrilled that the majestic Humpback whales have made their annual journey back to our islands’ warm waters, and our favorite way to spot them is aboard the Star of Honolulu. From now through April 5, 2018, we invite guests to climb aboard Hawaii’s most popular whale watch adventure!

With four walk-around decks, three types of stabilizers and a 60-foot high observation deck, the Star of Honolulu is the best vessel for viewing whales in their underwater home. During the whale watch experience, guests will enjoy our friendly and knowledgeable crew of Naturalists, informative handouts and an educational program for the keiki (children). Adults and keiki alike can also immerse themselves in a wide range of cultural activities, from lei making to ukulele lessons.

Our friends at the Star of Honolulu look forward to meeting you at the dock! For more information or to book a cruise today, call (808) 983-STAR (7827) or visit www.StarofHonolulu.com. Our dolphin friends would also love to see you, so for more information on a Wild Dolphin Watch cruise, visit www.dolphin-star.com!
