Humpback Whale and Dolphin Watch in Kona
Overview
Our Dolphin & Whale Watch explores the world of dolphins & whales, wildlife & Kona’s dramatic coastline. Our captains will narrate your journey & point out spectacular sights while providing information on the area’s wildlife, history & geology while you slowly cruise looking for a variety of wildlife.
Year round we often find Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins & Spotted Dolphins. Seasonally, (Dec-March) Humpback Whales visit to mate & give birth. We could also see Pilot Whales, Beaked-Whales, Melon-headed whales & other species. We will focus on finding these magnificent mammals & spending time with them to observe, learn, photograph & listen to their song & other vocalizations with our underwater hydrophone. So come aboard one of our rigid hull inflatable vessels and cruise with us on this relaxed island cruise.
