Whale watching speedboat tour from Kailua Kona, Big Island

Combine the thrill of watching humpback whales breach the surface of the ocean mere metres away from you with the excitement of a speed-tacular ocean vessel for a one of a kind whale watching experience from Kona Kailua, on Hawaii’s Big Island!

Aboard the Kona Explorer, with its powerful twin Suzuki 300 engines, you will be able to seek far and wide to catch sight of the humpback whales who journey to Hawaiian waters and stay from December until April to breed, birth, and nurture their calves. Thanks to the sleek nature of the 41 foot vessel, you will also be able to get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures! With an experienced naturalist on board to guide your observations, you can rest assured that you will not miss a thing, and you can also count on learning a thing or two about whales!

The clear, sea life abundant waters of Hawaii Island are truly some of the best Hawaiian waters from which to whale watch from, and as you sit comfortably on cushioned benches and under a protective sunroof, you will get to enjoy both the excitement of speed boating and catching sight of these rare and beautiful animals. Throughout the whale watching tour there will be snacks and refreshments to enjoy, and alcoholic drinks to purchase as well – the Kona Explorer might be a smaller vessel, but it caters to all your comforts and there is also a bathroom on board! Although the highlight of this Big Island whale watching tour is spotting humpback whales, there is also the chance to see spinner dolphins, pilot and sperm whales, manta rays, sea turtles, and more! When it comes to wildlife, the Big Island has so much to offer!
