Kona is the ultimate whale and wildlife destination. Kona’s calm waters, deep coastlines, and variety of marine life make the region a world-class wildlife location. Our tours leave out of Honokohau Harbor, which has access to both near-shore and pelagic zones. Exploring the near-shore zone, you have the opportunity to see humpbacks during the winter months, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, manta rays, and flying fish.
You’re going to love the way Hawaiian Adventures does mantas! Sharing this incredible experience with our guests is what drives us to run the best manta tour on the Island. Leaving Honokohau Harbor, we have the ability to reach the northern or southern manta sites depending on the calmest conditions. Our departure is strategic, as we can choose the site with fewer people and more mantas. With one trip a night, small groups, and professional guides, our tour sets the bar high for value and guest experience.
We know that having the right tools not only makes the job easier but more fun. That’s why we designed and built our newest vessel, Artemis, specifically for our whale watching and night manta ray snorkel tours. This isn’t a modified fishing boat or dinner cruiser –– Artemis’ sole purpose is to run whale and wildlife tours.
Callisto is our 32 ft Regulator designed for speed, safety, comfort, and an incredibly smooth ride. 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, fresh water shower, padded seats, and a custom boarding ladder for easy access in and out of the water.
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.
