Luxury Kona private charters aboard Callisto.

Callisto

Callisto is our 32 ft center console designed for speed, safety, comfort, and an incredibly smooth ride. Her name comes from a killer whale in the pacific northwest (T65A6), who was named after the hunting partner of Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt. Equipped with twin 300 Mercurys, Callisto is perfect for exploring inshore reefs or pushing offshore into the deep. This luxury 6-person vessel has a restroom, padded seating, full walk-around, 360 degree viewing, and a built-in cooler for complimentary beverages. With plenty of waterproof storage, there’s room for guests and their extra gear onboard. 

Riding on Callisto feels like exploring Hawaii with friends (if your friends were top-tier pelagic guides and expert boat captains). Great for the global traveler or family adventure, our tours provide a truly personalized experience. Explore Kona’s coast in comfort and style on a boat that’s youthful and fun, just like orca whale T65A6.

Perfect for up to six guests

Callisto is tailored for small groups of up to 6 guests. Expect a private, luxury, and personalized ride. With an open-style vessel, guests can enjoy 360-degree viewing, unobstructed vistas, and a spacious experience. Skip the crowds and cruise the Kona Coast on Callisto.

Meet our brand new vessel, Artemis

Introducing Artemis, a 46 foot aluminum catamaran custom built for mission focused wildlife adventures on the breathtaking Kona Coast of Hawaii.  Boasting two shaded viewing decks, easily accessible swim platform with dual swim ladders, forward facing bucket seating, spacious onboard restroom, boat-wide sound system, and scientific quality hydrophones, Artemis is the only vessel of its kind in Hawaii.

At Hawaiian Adventures Kona, our expert guides offer the Big Island’s ultimate small-group wildlife experience. Our year-round whale watching, night manta snorkels, and private charters are the best opportunity for a true Hawaiian Adventure.

Whale watching in Kona is year-round! Hawaiian Adventures Kona has access to both near-shore and pelagic zones, which gives you the opportunity to see humpback whales during the winter months, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, flying fish, surface-feeding mantas, pilot whales, beaked whales, sperm whales, spotted dolphins, whale sharks, and more!


Experience the real Kona nightlife and meet the mantas! Our Kona Night Manta tours depart strategically out of Honokohau Harbor, giving us the ability to head where there’s better conditions, fewer people, and more manta rays. This small-group tour is the best way to experience the #1 activity on the Big Island.


Explore the Kona Coast at your own speed. Private tours are the best choice for small or large groups that value exclusivity and a personalized experience. Whether you’re looking for a family adventure, school trip, memorial service, or something entirely different, our team will work with you to create your custom adventure.
