    Whale Watch Cruise Kona

    Between late December and Early April,  Humpback Whales come to mate and give birth in the calm waters of Kona. There is no better way to see them than with Kona's year round marine mammal excursion experts aboard the custom built 70' power catamaran "Spirit of Kona".

    Delivered in fall of 2007, the Spirit of Kona was designed and built to enhance our Eco tour experience. Designed to allow maximum viewing of marine life above and below the surface of the ocean. It features 360-degree walk around viewing on both decks. The Spirit of Kona is a 150 passenger vessel weighing 78 gross tons. This wide heavy platform makes for a comfortable and stable ride. Its slower cruising speed not only saves on fuel consumption but allows for more safety for those marine animals that are subject to boat strikes. With mens and womens toilets, premium bar and buffet station, and hydrophone and speaker system, the Spirit is a fabulous boat for catching and learning about the incredible humpback whales during their seasonal visit to the Big Island.

    The Makai offers a relaxing upper deck or a main deck in fully shaded comfort as you cruise the scenic Kona Coast. Shore spotters will guide the Makai to the best Whale viewing areas, our naturalist and crew will entertain you with historical facts and information on the many points of interest along the way and the animals encountered. Have your camera ready for your first whale encounter as you watch these amazing animals up close. Some of the activities you may see are breeching, spy hopping, pectoral fin slapping, tail slapping, mating behavior and mothers caring for their young. Listen to the whale songs produced by these majestic mammals through our underwater hydrophone.

    Be sure to watch for the local spinner dolphins that are regular companions on most of our trips.

    Guaranteed Humpback Whale sightings or return again free.
