WHALE WATCHING WEEKENDS at SEA LIFE PARK | Saturdays & Sundays from 9am - 10am through March 30, 2025

As peak whale watching season approaches, Sea Life Park Hawai‘i will offer whale watching opportunities on Saturdays and Sundays starting January 11-12, 2025. Guests will get to enter the park one hour prior to normal park hours, starting at 9am and be met with a member of the park’s education team. A brief educational talk on humpback whales will take place prior to whale watching, and binoculars will be provided for use to all participants. Guests will be escorted to Seaside Gardens, an optimal viewing point within the park for land-based whale watching. Following the activity, guests will be shown to the park’s Beach Boy Lanai restaurant where they will have a choice of either hot coffee or hot chocolate and choice of a breakfast pastry.

Cost is $15 plus tax per person and can be purchased at the park’s ticket booth (will also be available for purchase online soon)! This covers the 9am-10am whale watching activity. For those interested in spending the day at the park, separate general admission can be purchased either online or at the ticket booth prior to the morning activity.

The experience is free for active Sea Life Park Annual Passholders which covers the early entrance and whale watching activity. Annual passholders have the option to purchase the breakfast package at a discounted rate of $8.99 plus tax, per person directly from Beach Boy Lanai.

Featured Local Artist of the Month: Chris Miyashiro

Born and raised on the island of Oʻahu, Chris uses art to express experiences in surfing, sailing, skating, and admiring Hawaiʻi. 

“What makes the pacific  magical to me, is that regardless of which governments own which region, the mana of its early explorations are still here. The triangle in the pacific spiritually stands alone as a country of true explorers and voyagers guided only by nature and heavenly insight. It was a realm where roads were ocean currents, where maps were stars, and where success was measured in harmony. This is the place where my creativity dwells. I have been extremely blessed to be a part of the northern region and continue to be inspired every day by rediscovering the wonders of old.” - Chris Miyashiro
