Itinerary
Departing from Kawaihae Harbor, we head out along the Kohala Coast in search of humpback whales exhibiting fun and interactive behaviors, allowing us to spend quality time observing their natural interactions. We cruise the shallow, sandy coastline where whales gather, watching for breaches, tail slaps, and close encounters while sharing insights into their behavior. Along the way, we drop our hydrophone to listen to their songs beneath the surface, creating a truly immersive experience. We also capture photos and video for real-time whale identification, educating guests about individual whales and their migration patterns. Conditions permitting, we may launch our drone to provide a unique aerial perspective of the whales. After an unforgettable experience on the water, we return to harbor with memories and media to relive your adventure. 🌊🐋
