Activity Details
Climb aboard our boat Orca to set out in search of whales. Our boat’s speed allows us to cover more distance, giving us a better chance of finding whales who can range over many miles along the Kona coast. Sometimes the whales are shy, so just be patient, and eventually, we’ll spot a spout or a flipper to help lead the way.

- Drinks
- Snacks
Highlights
Every winter, the warm waters off the Kona coast come alive with the presence of humpback whales as they migrate from the cold, nutrient-rich seas of Alaska to Hawaii. These majestic creatures journey to Kona to mate, give birth, and nurse their young in the calm, protected waters. If you want to experience the thrill of seeing these gentle giants up close, there’s no better way than by joining us for an unforgettable whale watching Kona tour aboard our boat, Orca.
