Watch for humpback whales, dolphins, and sea turtles on a small-group cruise along West Oahu’s scenic Waianae coast.

About this tour

Set out from Waianae Harbor for a small-group whale-watching trip along West Oahu’s rugged coast. With just six guests aboard, this Waianae whale watching tour offers room to take in the ocean views and keep watch for humpback whales in their natural habitat.

Check in at 2:00 pm, then board for a safety briefing before departing at 2:30 pm. As the boat travels offshore, the crew shares insights about whales and local marine life. From the water, admire the Waianae mountain range and look for humpbacks, dolphins, green sea turtles, and other wildlife. Sightings are not guaranteed, but the open-water setting makes every stretch of coastline worth watching.

The tour returns to the harbor at 5:00 pm. Coolers are available for your own food and drinks, and ice can be provided upon request. Bring a camera, settle in with the small group, and enjoy a closer look at West Oahu’s marine world on this Waianae whale watching tour.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 1.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
