About this experience
From December through April the Auau Channel holds the densest humpback population on earth, and we run it with a marine researcher aboard and a hydrophone in the water so you hear the song as well as see the breach. Two-hour cruise, guaranteed sighting or your next trip is free. Bookings reopen in November for the winter season.
