TOUR DESCRIPTION:
The offshore waters south and west of Oahu's leeward coast offers a fine assortment of both breeding Hawaiian seabirds and trans-equatorial migrants. The best months for seabird diversity are March, April, September, October, November and December which coincide with the trans-equatorial migrations.This tour is conducted aboard an fully equipped 50 or 60' boat both of which offer great onboard viewing locations. Depending on the birds and weather we might go offshore 25 miles or make a loop 10-15 miles offshore either north or south.
