About
Our trips are custom tailored to our guests' interests. We typically leave the harbor around 7:00am and head offshore in search of dolphins and whales as there are nearly two dozen cetacean species we could potentially find. If you're hoping to encounter some cartilaginous creatures, there are also sites we can investigate for manta rays or sharks. We like to round out our tour with a coral reef snorkel, exploring the dramatic coastline and celebrating the biodiversity of the Kona Coast. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Each tour is unique and the agenda is subject to change due to weather and wave conditions
