Things to do nearPrince Kuhio Tours

    Prince Kuhio Tours departs from Kewalo Basin Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, offering ocean excursions with stunning coastal views, snorkeling, and whale watching.

    Prince Kuhio Tours operates out of Kewalo Basin Harbor, a working marina tucked along Ala Moana Boulevard that has served Honolulu's fishing and tour boat fleets for decades. The harbor's central location makes it one of the most practical launch points on Oahu's south shore, sitting within easy reach of Waikiki and downtown.

    Out on the water, guests encounter the kind of scenery that defines Hawaii: clear turquoise depths, sea turtles gliding beneath the hull, and the volcanic ridgeline of the Koolau Range visible inland. Snorkeling stops bring you face to face with reef fish and coral formations that thrive in the protected coastal waters off Honolulu.

    Seasonal whale watching cruises are among the most popular offerings, drawing visitors who want to see humpback whales in their natural habitat without venturing far from the city. The nearby green space of Ala Moana Regional Park makes a pleasant spot to relax before or after your trip.

    For anyone spending time in Honolulu and wanting to understand the city from a different vantage point, a day on the water with Prince Kuhio Tours offers perspective that no shoreside activity can match.
