Experience the magic of Hawaii’s whale season on the Big Island with the Waikoloa Deluxe Whale Watch, a 1.5-hour cruise departing from Anaeho‘omalu Bay aboard Holona in the morning or the Spirit of Aloha in the afternoon. Glide along the scenic Kohala Coast while watching humpback whales breach, tail-slap, and play in the warm winter waters. The knowledgeable crew provides fascinating insights into whale behavior and migration, making this both an educational and thrilling experience. Morning departures include soft drinks, juice, water, and light snacks, while afternoon trips feature a full premium bar with tropical cocktails, beer, wine, and light snacks. Comfortable seating, shaded areas, and restrooms ensure a relaxing and enjoyable outing for all guests.
Guests can choose between the faster powerboat experience or a leisurely catamaran cruise, both offering stunning coastal views of Mauna Kea and Hualālai. With guaranteed whale sightings or a free re-ride, you can feel confident that you will witness these magnificent creatures up close. The tour is family-friendly, accommodating all ages with life jackets available for everyone. Complimentary shuttle service from Hilton Waikoloa Village and free parking near Lava Lava Beach Club make access easy. Bring a light jacket, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a reusable water bottle, and optionally a camera or binoculars to capture this unforgettable whale watching adventure.
