About Kona Tradewind Day Sail

Hawaii Nautical 1.5 hours

Spend a sunny stretch of the day sailing the Kona Coast aboard Spirit of Aloha. Departing from Honokohau Harbor, the 1.5-hour cruise gives you open views of the Big Island’s west side, where dark lava shoreline meets the deep blue Pacific.

Once the sails are up, the pace settles in. You can find a spot in the shade or out on deck, enjoy the ocean breeze and watch the coastline drift by while the crew points out local landmarks and keeps an eye out for wildlife.

Dolphins and sea turtles may appear along the route, and during whale season there is also a chance to spot humpbacks offshore. A full premium bar is available throughout the sail, with tropical cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks.
