Hawaii Nautical - Kona

"Booked this trip with the wife and in-Laws for a 90 min whale watching cruise. Captain Brian and first mate Gayle did not disappoint! They had us seeing whales within the first 10 mins, and with the captain’s experience, he had us up close to whales for most of the trip. Whales were all around us, often within 50 feet of the boat, and twice, swam under the boat! Humpbacks swam, surfaced and blew, held their tales out of the water and waved, they dove and we were able to see several whales breach in spectacular aerial shows of their size and speed. There was absolutely nothing more we could have hoped for on this trip. Well worth the expense for this phenomenal experience. Be sure to book with Captain Brian – it’s his passion to make sure everyone experiences the breath of the humpback beast on their faces!"

"We did the Whale Watching Tour in Kona. We had an amazing time. A beautiful day, on the water in Hawaii. What could be better? Watching whales of course!!! Captain Chelsea did a wonderful job navigating us along the shore. Unfortunately we did not see any whales :( BUT…. If you don’t see any whales you get a free return pass, which we used and the second trip out we encountered a pod of whales within the first 5 minutes!!! It’s was awesome! We watched the group of 3 whales resurface numerous times and while waiting the first mate entertained us with Whale jokes lol. It was a great time with a great crew. Highly recommended."

"We had so much fun doing the sunset sail. The sail crew was awesome and offered to take pictures of everyone during the sunset. The bartender was serving good drinks. The catamaran was nice and spacious so we weren't packed like sardines. It was perfect, the people were nice, and the views were spectacular!"

"We had a great time on our sunset sail. Nick was our driver, getting us to the beach safely and leading us to the boat. We had a great sail, seeing a nice sunset, but getting some great views of humpback whales. The drink service was great, and the meal, while simple, was tasty. This was definitely worth our time and money."
