Experience the thrill of whale season on the Big Island aboard Olohana, a 41-foot luxury powerboat designed for comfort and adventure. Departing from Kawaihae Harbor, this two-hour cruise takes you along the stunning Kohala Coast where humpback whales gather from December through March to breed and care for their young. Guests are guaranteed sightings or invited for a free re-ride if no whales are seen. As you glide across the sparkling Pacific, enjoy panoramic views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualālai while keeping an eye out for playful dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life. The crew provides engaging commentary on whale behavior and migration, making this an educational and unforgettable ocean experience.
With a smooth, stable ride and shaded seating, Olohana ensures a relaxing journey suitable for all ages. Light snacks and beverages, including juice, soda, and water, are provided for guest enjoyment. Small group sizes allow for personal attention and plenty of space to take in the scenery. The boat boards directly from a dock, offering easy step-on access, and convenient parking is available at Kawaihae Harbor South. Whether you are a first-time whale watcher or a returning enthusiast, this cruise combines adventure, learning, and the serene beauty of Hawai‘i’s coast into an unforgettable experience.
