Humpback Whale Watching in Kailua-Kona
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Kuakini Highway Illima Court Shopping Center to begin this whale-watching experience on Hawaii Island. We'll learn lots of interesting facts about these cetaceans!
Every year, thousands of humpback whales travel to the shores of Hawaii to nurse and care for their calves. In this activity, we'll board a boat to sail along the Kailua-Kona coastline and search for these magnificent marine mammals.
We'll learn the importance of humpback whales for the culture and mythology of Hawaii. Their presence has a sacred character for the locals, who consider them the guardians of the sea. Did you in Hawaiian they're known as koholas? The calves are called aumakua and the whales born in the waters of the island are called kamaaina.
For 2.5 hours, we'll enjoy watching humpback whales as they swim, jump, and emit their deep songs. We'll also take the opportunity to see dolphins, manta rays, and sea turtles!
Finally, we'll return to the port to conclude the experience.
