2.5 Hour Whale Watching Experience in Kona

The humpback breeding season is one of the few opportunities to experience one of nature’s great wonders, the symphony of humpback whale song. There is nothing quite like listening to the music of the whales while watching them do their thing. Our vessel is equipped with an onboard hydrophone to hear the whales!

Whale watching was amazing!
Susan R, 04-02-2023
We have gone on whale watching trips before and so we know that there are no guarantees of seeing anything. This was not one of those days! We had several sightings of multiple whales, mothers with calf and male escort whale. In one case, they swam right up to and under our boat and hung around for a while. The team put the hydrophone in the water so we could hear the whales too. Amazing! We also had a pod of spinner dolphins ride in the wake, stern and bow. Sam and Hunter provided a lot of info along the way and Captain Shane did a great job of finding whales for us. Highly recommend this excursion !
Excellent Excursion & Crew

Had the pleasure of sailing with Andrew, Olivia & Sam on the 7AM whale watch tour. The crew was so friendly & very knowlegable. We saw a pod of false killer whales that the crew got very excited about. I learned that they are endangered and rare to see where we were at, so we spent a lot of time watching and interacting with them. Olivia even got in the water with an amazing camera to document their markings. After our extensive time with the false killer whales, we were able to watch a humpback whale breech several times. We got quite the show. The boat was a perfect size, as was our small group on board. We've done whale watching on a zodiak raft and a bigger boat, and our boat "Those Guys" was very comfortable. It had a few different seating options, a restroom and included snacks & drinks. Overall, it was a great morning with Hawaiian Adventures and our crew! Highly recommend!
Definitely worth it!

The group leaders were very knowledgeable and engaging. Great fun. We saw false killer whales up close and several humpback whales breaching the water surface!
Great crew and wonderful experience

Great whale watching experience. Morning tour from 7 to 10. Captain Andrew, and naturalists Sam and Olivia were awesome. Saw false killer whales; apparently a rare sight, and awesome humpback whales breaching. Wonderful experience with a great crew.
Great and productive time!

Tour operators were great with the boat operation, reading their audience and educating us. The tour guides and us looked hard for the whales. Had to go far north to find them but found a completion pod and stayed with them for a while and the found a couple whales we watched for a while. Didn’t have time for hydrophone or to spot dolphins but it was a beautiful day and saw some good activity. Snacks/drinks and a bathroom was much needed and thankful for.
