Description
Every winter, thousands of humpback whales return to Hawaii's warm waters - and there's no better way to see them than from the desk of the Spirit of Aloha. Cruise along the scenic Kona Coast and witness these gentle giants breaching, tail-slapping, and playing on the surface.
Our friendly and knowledgeable crew share fascinating facts about whale behavior, migration, and local marine life while you enjoy the ocean breeze and panoramic views. Keep your camera ready - dolphins and turtles are often spotted along the way too!
Relax with tropical cocktails, beer, wine, soda and juice from the full premium bar on board. Whale sightings are guaranteed - if you don't see one, you can come again free (re-ride only)!
- Free parking is available at Honokohau Harbor. Please allow extra time to secure your spot.
- Guaranteed whale sightings - if you don't see one, re-ride on us for free (no refunds).
