Itinerary

Experience Hawaii’s ultimate whale watching adventure aboard the state’s flagship vessel, the Star of Honolulu! At 232 feet long and 45 feet wide, it is Hawaii’s largest whale watching vessel, offering unmatched stability, room, and panoramic views for up to 1,500 passengers across four expansive walk-around decks and a 60-foot-high observation deck for elevated ocean views. As the only vessel licensed to cruise beyond Diamond Head where the whales are most active (weather permitting), you’ll get an unmatched viewing experience combined with total comfort. Featuring three types of high-tech stabilizers and two onboard elevators for full ADA wheelchair accessibility, the ship ensures a smooth, accessible ride for everyone. Spot humpback whales, spinner dolphins, and sea turtles from the open decks while expert certified naturalists share live commentary and insights about Hawaii’s marine life. Your cruise also includes a relaxing cup of hot Kona blend coffee or tea paired with homemade pineapple banana bread as you take in the stunning views of Oahu's coastline.
