About Hawaii Nautical – Waikoloa Deluxe Morning Whale Watch
Morning on the Kohala Coast brings crisp ocean air, wide mountain views and the chance to see humpback whales at their most active. Departing from Anaeho'omalu Bay aboard Holona, a smooth, fast and comfortable powerboat, this 1.5-hour cruise searches the warm winter waters for breaches, tail slaps and playful surface activity.
As the boat moves along the coast, enjoy panoramic views of Mauna Kea, Hualalai and the shoreline while the knowledgeable crew shares insight into whale behavior, migration and local marine life. Refreshing beverages are served on board, making this an easy and memorable way to begin the day on the Big Island.
Whale sightings are guaranteed from December through March or you can return for a free re-ride. Re-ride only, no refunds.
