A. No, this is strictly a whale watch sail adventure that doesn't include swimming.

At 50 feet long, there is still plenty of space to relax and enjoy some sunshine on the water. Holds up to 41 passengers.

Alala [Departs from Kawaihae Harbor]: The Alala perfectly combines the best of a snorkel adventure vessel with the smooth comfort ideal for relaxing sunset cruises and oceanside soirees.
