We went on the Explorer Raft for a smaller group (23 max), faster boat. Boat was a large inflated zodiak type raft that went really fast. We were on the afternoon whale watch trip and it was awesome! Crew was great, naturalist was very knowledgeable. Best of all, we saw three different groups of hunchback whales. About 5-6 whales total. One or two of the whales breached about three times. It was a bit of a distance but we could see them. We also saw a good sized pod of spinner dolphins who put on a fun show for us, right around the whales. There was also a pod of spinners right in Kailua harbor when we returned. The place you check in and park is about a block up the street from the pier, which is a fairly steep climb on the way back to your car. It was a great way to spend an afternoon and I recommend this!

Aloha dianahV3542ZQ,
Thanks a million for joining us! It's wonderful to read about what an awesome time you had on our newest vessel the Kona Explorer! This 41' super raft is quick, agile and comfortable all at the same time! She even has a restroom on board!
Our free parking is located at the Illima Court Shopping Center about two tenths of mile from the Kailua Kona Pier.
We are honored to know that you had a great afternoon with us and that you'll be recommending our ocean adventures!
Mahalo!
