Overview
Beat the crowds and enjoy a more personal whale watching experience aboard our comfortable, small-group vessel, designed for up to 10 passengers. With fewer guests onboard, you’ll enjoy unobstructed views, personalized attention, and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the tour.
Our boat is conveniently located at an in-water slip, allowing for fast, efficient check-in and quick departure—maximizing your time on the ocean during the Pacific humpback whale migration season. Once on the water, our experienced crew will guide you to prime viewing areas along the Kona Coast.
When conditions allow, we stop to observe the whales and deploy an underwater hydrophone, giving you the rare opportunity to listen to the haunting and beautiful songs of the humpback whales. This immersive experience offers a deeper connection to these magnificent animals and makes each trip truly unforgettable.
