Pelagic Dolphin and Whale Watch

Explore Kona’s Marine Wildlife on a Pelagic Dolphin and Whale Watch

Discover Kona’s rich marine life on a 3-4 hour whale and dolphin watch departing from Honokohau Harbor. This tour accesses both near-shore and pelagic zones, offering opportunities to see humpback whales, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, flying fish, surface-feeding mantas, and more.

With a US Coast Guard offshore certification, the tour ventures into the pelagic zone to search for pilot whales, beaked whales, sperm whales, spotted dolphins, whale sharks, and other rare species. The extended search range allows for more time with whales and diverse wildlife encounters.

Included are guaranteed whale sightings, complimentary cold beverages, and narration from a professional onboard naturalist. Boarding begins 20 minutes prior to departure at the south-central side of Honokohau Harbor, where guests should arrive 30 minutes early to find parking.
