Kona Whale Watch from Honokohau on Sailing Boat

Overview

Take in the beauty of the magnificent humpback whales in the blue Pacific waters as you coast in the comfort of Honi Olani a 53 foot custom-built sailing catamaran. Whales guaranteed or come back free on same or lesser-value trip (Re-rides only, no refunds).

Hawaii is known as one of the best places in the world to go whale watching, as the humpback whales migrate to Alaska to the warm waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands to give birth. Learn about the whales' unique behavior and why their long journey is so important while watching them fluke, spy hop, and breach out of the water. With thousands of whales that have all made the 3,000 mile voyage, you won't have to journey far off shore to find them.

Great trip, and the Captain spotted whale spouts quickly and we watched then dive. He then set a timer for 15 minutes and the whales resurfaced and gave us quite a show.

Fantastic! Although there weren't too many whales in the area the captain located a mother with her calf + escort. We were able to watch them for quite a while and enjoyed the trip a lot. Highly recommended!

DO NOT BOOK! We followed the instructions provided and our Uber driver dropped us off in time at the designated location. We received a call shortly after to ask where we were. Their response: “Uhhh, yeah, we have that problem.” They volunteered to put us through to the captain. Did not hear from the captain. Some other person called us back to say they were departing. Utterly nonchalant. We expressed our frustration and that we were will ahead of sailing time. That would not wait, despite their acknowledged poor directions. We expressed that we expected a full refund They initially balked, but then later called back to say they were offering a full refund. We were out a round trip Uber ride. We were able to book this the morning of because all other outfitters were booked. Obviously, there is a reason this was the last available. Please patronize a different company. Sad ending to our last day in Hawaii.
