Overview

The Big Island of Hawaii offers a whale watching boat tour lasting about two and a half hours from the Kailua-Kona pier during whale season, which runs from December to April. The tour includes a certified naturalist who provides live commentary throughout the trip. Passengers can listen to singing male whales via a hydrophone connected to the onboard PA system and have opportunities to photograph whales up close. Snacks and beverages are provided during the excursion, and an option to purchase alcoholic drinks at a no-host bar is available. The operator guarantees whale sightings; if none occur, guests can return for a free repeat tour. Boarding begins 30 minutes before departure. Guests must arrange their own transportation to the pier, where free parking is available about one block away at 75-5629 Kuakini Hwy., Kailua Kona. The boat is wheelchair accessible with a special boarding ramp on request. All participants must complete a liability waiver before boarding. Hotel pickup service is not offered. Children must be accompanied by an adult to participate.
