Kauai ToursKailua-Kona Adventure Whale Watch
Overview
Meet Apollo, a 41 foot ribcraft purpose built for the ultimate adventure, and the newest member of the Hawaiian Adventures Team. Apollo’s 12.5 meter hull creates a soft, smooth ride to explore the magic of the Kona coast. Triple outboard motors allow for increased safety on the water while also giving the vessel the ability to be quick and nimble. This way, we’ll be able to travel further and spend more time slowed with wildlife. An open viewing platform also means expansive views, and comfortable forward facing saddle seats ensure each guest gets their own space– never having to worry about being positioned the wrong way when we’re on scene with wildlife. Allow Apollo, named after the Greek god of the sun, to illuminate the beauty of the Kona coast while fostering the true spirit of adventure.
