Hawaii's Big Island is home to migrating pods of humpback whales, which often breach as they build up energy for their northward migration.

The tour provider guarantees whale sightings or the next trip is free.

Winter is the most exciting time to be out on the water in Hawaii, as it's the time of year when thousands of migrating humpback whales visit the islands. On this exciting Big Island whale watching tour, experience the thrill of traveling aboard a high-speed raft, and then seeing a whale swimming just in front of the boat. Though the boat will obey the federal laws and not approach within 100 feet (30 meters), it isn't uncommon for the whale to decide to swim up under the boat!
