About Ocean Sports - Wake Up with the Whales
Start the morning with a whale watching cruise along the Kohala Coast, where winter brings humpback whales into Hawaii's warm waters. The early departure offers a quieter time on the ocean, with coastal views, Kona coffee, soft drinks and granola bar snacks served on board.
As you watch for whales, trained naturalists share information about humpback behavior and migration. Hydrophones may also be used to listen for whale songs beneath the surface, adding another way to experience these seasonal visitors.
