As we left the shoreline, the captain noticed several whales breaching in the distance. He asked if we wanted to go past the reef to see it and we all said yes, of course. We spent most of the 30 minutes whale watching from a distance. On our return trip, the crew still found time to pass over the reef and explain several interesting details not only about the reef but the animals the call it home. It was a great time and the crew did a great job!

Leaving from the Kona International Airport, go to Highway 19 (the only exit from the airport), and make a left hand turn onto the Highway. Drive for about 25 minutes till you reach the traffic light and the entrance to the Waikoloa Beach Resort.
Turn left into the resort onto Waikoloa Beach Drive. You’ll pass by the Queen’s Marketplace on the left, then the King’s Shops on the right, followed by the entrance to the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa. Just past the resort entrance you’ll see a left hand merge lane – merge into this lane and turn left towards the gated community called “Kolea”.
Just before the locked gate you’ll see the entrance to the Beach Access Parking Lot. The paved path to the beach begins just ocean-side of the circle turn-around.
