About Star of Honolulu - Early Bird Whale Watch Cruise
Start the day on the water aboard the 232-foot Star of Honolulu for a morning whale watching cruise off Waikiki. During humpback whale season, the ship's spacious exterior decks and elevated observation platform give you plenty of room to watch for breaches, tail slaps and other surface activity with the Honolulu coastline in the background.
Naturalist crew members provide commentary throughout the cruise and answer questions about humpback whale behavior. Pineapple banana bread, Kona Blend coffee and hot tea are included, and the operator offers a whale sighting guarantee with a complimentary return cruise if no whales are seen.
