What To Expect

One of the most popular marine activities in Hawaii is watching the pods of great whales, especially humpback whales, wintering in the warm Hawaiian waters between mid-December and March. Watching the whales swim, play, feed and breach, in their natural environment, is truly awe-inspiring. As a bonus, other marine life such as dolphins and sea turtles also tend to make an appearance. The Prince Kuhio offers an exceptional platform for this unforgettable experience by providing a large, stable upper deck for viewing as well as on-board drink services.
