Join Torpedo Tours in Kailua-Kona for a private 4-hour marine adventure. Swim with dolphins, manta rays, and pilot whales in the clear Hawaiian waters — a personalized, eco-friendly experience you won’t forget.
Kailua-Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii, offers some of the Pacific's most pristine waters and vibrant marine life. Torpedo Tours stands out for its intimate, four-hour private excursions along the Kona coast, giving visitors the chance to witness Hawaii’s aquatic wonders away from crowded crowds. This tour isn’t just about watching marine life—it’s about immersing yourself in it.
Set sail in a custom boat designed for comfort and flexibility, where your captain guides you through translucent reefs and open waters. The highlight is swimming alongside playful Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, whose acrobatics often draw gasps from guests. As you glide through the waves, encounters with graceful Manta Rays, curious Pilot Whales, and schools of shimmering reef fish unfold naturally. The tour includes complimentary snacks and gear—think snorkeling masks and wetsuits—so you’re well-equipped to dive in and make the most of every moment.

This experience is perfect for travelers seeking a genuine, up-close connection with Hawaii’s marine environment. It's not just about sightseeing; it’s about making memories and fostering a deeper appreciation for the ocean’s delicate balance.
