About
Enjoy our brand new 6 passenger vessel for an unforgettable adventure with the humpback whales. We launch right in the middle of the humpback sanctuary, where we find mother humpback whales with their babies (called cow/calf pairs), competition pods (often where we witness the breaching), and singing whales (yes, we do have a hydrophone on board). Captain Kelsey and team are very knowledgeable about cetaceans and Big Island history, that for a solid 1 hr and 45 minutes you will have such a fabulous and informative time! This trip is great for photographers, as Captain Kelsey is very aware of lighting and driving the boat so one gets the best picture!
Boat has an emergency bathroom on board under the center console. Hydrophone. Relaxing music as we cruise. Cold drinks and a locally sourced snack is provided.
Sunset whale watches are usually 2 hours in length. It is captain's discretion to stay out until the sun sets pending on weather/safety. Surf and wind would make a captain come in prior to the sun setting. 95% of our Sunset trips do stay out for the actual sunset.
