Wildlife Watching Boat Tour in Kona
Instant Booking
Are you ready for a Wildlife Watching Boat Tour in Kona?
This boat tour will surely be an unforgettable experience of a lifetime! Our experienced naturalist captains and crew share a deep respect and passion for the ocean and its inhabitants, making our morning wildlife watching tour an adventure like no other.
No matter the time of year, whale season is always in full swing. Join us as we venture into the unknown and encounter 17 different resident whale and dolphin species, turtles, sharks, Hawaiian Monk seals, various species of birds, and much more. Kona's unique coastline is one of the few places in the world where you can witness such a diverse array of wildlife year-round.
Experience the thrill of our military-grade Zodiac Hurricanes, the same boats used by Navy seals, as we explore the diverse habitat provided by Hawaii's deep underwater geography. It's truly an ocean safari for the true adventure seeker!
The boat will depart from Honokohau Harbor for the 4-5 hour boat tour. We highly encourage our guests to bring cameras along for their photographic experience and the opportunity to become a valuable contributor to citizen science. While this isn't a snorkeling excursion, we may include an off-the-beaten-path snorkeling location, so be sure to wear your swimsuit just in case.
While we can't guarantee encounters, with the abundance of year-round ocean residents, the chance of no sighting is low. Board our rafts at our designated location 15 minutes prior to departure, and get ready to embark on an adventure like no other.
Our rafts can hold up to 16 passengers, but we can accommodate larger groups as we have multiple rafts. So whether you're traveling solo or with a larger group, we've got you covered. You won't want to miss out on this thrilling adventure. Book now and get ready for an experience you'll never forget!
