Whale-Watching and Beach Resort Fun

Standard DreamTrip
Make awesome new memories with a thrilling boat tour in search of majestic humpback whales — and perhaps other wildlife, too! — and make your own fun with incredible activities and deluxe amenities at a family-friendly beach resort in heavenly Hawaii. Book by January 29.

About Your Trip

Get ready for a magical experience you’ll remember for a lifetime — whale watching! Bring a waterproof camera to capture every moment as you and your loved ones spot the magnificent mammals that have returned to the warmer waters of the Hawaiian Islands for breeding. You’re sure to be delighted by their swimming and rolling and especially by their classic breaching movements — leaping into the air, slapping their fins on the water and crashing down to create an impressively large splash. What a spectacular sight! You may also come across other wildlife on your journey, giving you another opportunity to have fun while you learn about nature. 

What we love:

  • Humpback whales are the most common winter visitors to Hawaii’s warm waters — whale season is December to April — but you may also catch a glimpse of other whale species as well as dolphins and seabirds.
  • Ample leisure time, so you can do as much — or as little — as you’d like at your resort, an oasis of serenity and outdoorsy fun.
  • Your resort’s shimmering infinity pool was voted No. 1 in USA Today’s Best Hotel Pools in 2019.
