Enjoy the majestic beauty of the humpback whales as they romp and play in the warm ocean water. They arrive from the Alaskan seas by the thousands to give birth in the warm ocean.

There is also lots of surf action on Oahu’s North Shore. During the winter months, the swells are enormous and professional surfers from all over the world gather to watch the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational or Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing. You can also choose to go golfing, take a helicopter tour, or even skydive.
