The Perfect Morning!
2 Hr – Whale Watching Tour (7AM) on December 28, 20254 adults
We booked this whale watching trip with Bob Marlin while on Oahu. A few days before our outing the crew reached out to see if we had flexibility in our plans due to high winds. We did and were so happy that the waters were calmer on the day we went out. The sunrise was awesome out on the water and this amazing newborn baby whale and her mother really gave us a show. At one point we even had a bull that was guarding the mother and baby surface and give us a wave. Our guide GE was down to earth and so informative about what we were seeing. He even dropped a mic in the water to hear their songs and honestly I can’t think of a better way to start your day. Thanks GE for a great morning and looking forward to another visit in the future. Might have to double up and go fishing with yall as well. ;)
