About Super Raft Whale Watching Adventure
Get close to Kona's winter whale season aboard the Kona Explorer, a 41-foot Super Raft with shade, cushioned seating and open views from the water.
Climb aboard the 41-foot Super Raft Kona Explorer for a fast, agile ride into the winter playground of humpback whales. Cushioned seats, generous shade and an onboard restroom ensure comfort while the captain positions the raft for unobstructed views of breaches, tail slaps and spy hops. Knowledgeable commentary adds insight into humpback behavior as you take in the action, camera at the ready and salty breeze in your hair.
Enjoy soft drinks, snacks and the option to purchase beer or canned cocktails while the western shoreline provides a scenic backdrop to every splash. With speed on its side and plenty of deck space, this whale watch combines the thrill of a raft ride with the amenities of a larger vessel.
