Zodiac Raft Whale Watching Adventure

Overview

The experience of watching 40 foot (12 meter) whales from a 24 foot (7 meter) Zodiac raft is something you'll never forget! Following Hawaiian Marine Park laws of stopping at least 100 yards (90 meters) away from these magnificent animals, you get a close up look at the migrating humpback whales.

They really are, we are lucky to have them. The sunset whale watches are a great addition to our tour line up every year and we really love having guests enjoy their time our with us. Mahalo for joining our whale watching adventure here in Kona.

Hammerheads .. now I'm jealous. Sounds like a action packed whale watching tour with lots of sightings. We are happy you had a great time and appreciate your review.

What a beautiful morning out on the ocean watching the whales. Ashley and Shelby did a great job finding whales and dolphins and sharing information about them. Very enjoyable trip. Saw about 15 hump back whales and lots of dolphins. We enjoyed the smaller zodiac raft for a more personal and up close experience. I would happily recommend Captain Zodiac.
