Board the boat directly from the sand of Kaanapali Beach. Beach loading is perfectly safe and often time adds an element of fun and adventure to the tour. Be sure to wear shorts or pants that you can roll up to your knees.  Your professional marine naturalist guide will share intriguing information and up-to-date facts about the local whale population. As you make your way across the waves, listen to  "Whale Songs" live on the ships' hydrophone. Humpback whales make their way to the warmer waters of the tropics during the winter breeding season, so sightings are very common throughout this time of year. While aboard, enjoy some delicious breakfast or afternoon appetizers while at sea, as well as complimentary cocktails from the open bar.
