Tour Overview

Step aboard our newest adventure and experience whale watching like never before. On this special cruise, you’ll not only see humpback whales in their natural habitat — you’ll get to hear them too.

With our partnership with the award-winning immersive experience “Sounds of the Ocean”, you will be immersed in the hauntingly beautiful songs of the humpbacks as they echo through the Pacific. For twenty-five unforgettable minutes, everything else fades away and you’re transported into the whales’ world of sound with our onboard hydrophone technology and personal headphones.

Along the way, our expert naturalists will share the classic PacWhale Eco-Adventures experience you love — breathtaking encounters, small group interpretation, and fascinating whale behavior — but with a special focus on the incredible role sound plays in the lives of these ocean giants.

Discover how whales communicate, court, navigate, and even share cultural traditions through song. Learn about the growing challenges of noise pollution in our oceans, and how we can all use our own “voice” to help protect these animals for generations to come.

Why You’ll Love It:
-A classic whale watch with the intimacy and expertise you expect from PacWhale.
-An immersive live whale song experience with headphones and hydrophones.
-An inspiring look at the importance of sound in the ocean — both its beauty and its challenges.
-A chance to connect, reflect, and take action to protect whales worldwide.
