Big Island Whale Watching Cruise from Waikoloa - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
Excellent hospitality!
Reviewed by: David R, 2024/04/02What a great excursion. Yes, we saw whales!! Very friendly, accommodating, and organized crew. Captain Mike a true professional with a sense of humor-thank you. Very convenient beach boarding in A-Bay (Waikoloa Resort), which for us was so nice not having to drive down the coast. Cheers

Big Island Whale Watching Cruise from Waikoloa - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
THE BEST!
Reviewed by: Sammy’s Mom , 2024/02/10This boat was by far the best option for whale watching. We took my 3 year old son for his birthday, so glad we chose this one. Our captain was determined to have everyone witness all of the amazing sights of whales in their natural habitat including, breaching, Mom and baby, whale tail waves, even the smell of anchovy whale breath! Will definitely be doing this one again! This was the highlight of our trip, an unforgettable experience! Mahalo Hawaii Nautical!

Kailua-Kona Sunset Cocktail with Free Drinks - Honi Olani Catamaran
Memories were made
Reviewed by: Aisha, 2024/02/05Booked this with a group of six, and to our surprise, we got a last-minute upgrade apparently due to the cruise being overbooked: Our own private yacht with cocktails, beer, and dinner. We were greeted and wonderfully taken care of by two very friendly guys -- unfortunately, I cannot remember their names as this was a few weeks ago, though someone in my group did snag their card, so we will definitely hit them up when we return -- who indulged our desires to see some whales in addition to the sunset. The atmosphere was excellent, the mood was chill, and we indeed saw lots of whales and an amazing view of the sunset. Loved the experience!

Big Island Whale Watching Cruise from Waikoloa - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]
Perfect whale watch!
Reviewed by: Jan, 2024/01/21A most enjoyable experience! Once we spotted a spout in the distance, we motored to it for a wonderful mother-baby whale show! Only recommendation would be to improve the directions to get to the check-in location on the beach.

Loved the Whales!
Reviewed by: Marissa, 2024/01/10My whole family enjoyed this experience! There were plenty of whales breaching and splashing all around us, they gave us a great show. The entire crew was friendly and knowledgeable about the whales and the catamaran too. I would recommend this trip to anyone during the whale season! We will do it again on our next trip. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Reviewed by: Leilani Fox, 2023/08/21My family and I (two kids 11 and 8 plus my spouse) had a blast on the Spirit of Aloha Kohala Coast Snorkel Tour with Lunch & Drinks - Hawaii Nautical / Snorkel Sail.

Spirit of Aloha Waikoloa Sunset Cruise with FREE Cocktails - Hawaii Nautical
Highly recommend!
Reviewed by: Anita, 2023/06/03We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We had a one year old and three year old with us, and the whole family had a great time. The crew was amazing, the boat was clean, and the drinks were strong. My husband usually gets sea sick, but this was the first time he was completely fine. The boat is big and stable. The crew had several drink choices, snacks, and even brought out teriyaki rice bowls for everyone. They let my three year drive the boat, which made his whole trip. We’re definitely going again on this next time we’re on the Big Island.

Luxury Private Boat Charters from Kona - Daytime & Sunset Cruises aboard No Wiki
Honokahau Harbor Private Sail Experience
Reviewed by: Deena H, 2023/04/05Our experience could not have been any better! The water was calm, weather was perfect, even with the clouds, which made it more beautiful! The captain and crew, Jack, Ian, and Taiyo were so attentive, gracious, and kind towards us, as we scattered our mother's ashes. It was a day we will always treasure. We highly recommend it and look forward to another sail in the future (just for fun!). Mahalo and blessings from our Ohana to yours!

Spirit of Aloha Waikoloa Sunset Cruise with FREE Cocktails - Hawaii Nautical
Humpback whale breach, cocktails, and a delicious bite
Reviewed by: Lauren Ralph, 2023/03/19Lovely crew, delicious Mai Tai, amazing wildlife viewing. I have never seen a humpback whale do a complete breach, and this was just supposed to be a sunset sight cruise! We laughed and truly enjoyed the time. Our plans changed from going to see the stars to this, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Wish I had understood I would be barefoot the whole time (I likely didn't read the memo). Would have changed which shoes I wore to board.

Spirit of Aloha Waikoloa Sunset Cruise with FREE Cocktails - Hawaii Nautical
Great Crew, But Cloudy Day
Reviewed by: TPBChicago, 2023/02/21The crew was friendly, funny and attentive. Thought we were just getting snacks with our drinks, but also got a teriyaki chicken bowl, which was a pleasant surprise. It was a cloudy day, so no sunset. As such, it would have been nice if they had tried to get us closer to the whales we saw in the distance, to make up for the impending lack of a sunset.

Up and close!
Reviewed by: MM1, 2023/02/18Great experience getting to see the whales up and close. The crew was outstanding and very informative. I highly recommend this excursion if you are ever in the area during the whale’s migratory season. The boat size was perfect. Not too big and crowded and not too small to avoid motion sickness.

Big Island Private Whale Watching Cruise - Aloha Kona Tours [Jan-Mar]
Awesome day of whales and dolphins!
Reviewed by: Bryan G, 2023/01/16We had a great afternoon on the boat. Took a seven and two year old out with us to see the whales and the captain was very accommodating to both of them. Once we got the area where the whales were we saw a couple different pairs breach multiple times and certainly didn't need binoculars to see them. On our way back to the harbor a few bottle nosed dolphins decided to swim out front of the boat and in the wake for about 10 minutes which was every bit as cool as seeing the whales.
I'd highly recommend Aloha Kona Tours.

Aloha Kona Tours - Kealakekua Bay Private Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Cruise
Two fantastic private cruises! Thank you Aloha Kona Tours!
Reviewed by: Jim Nicholl, 2022/09/12We prefer private charters and snorkeling trips and Aloha Kona Tours did not disappoint. We had such a good time on our Sept 9th cruise we booked a night time Manta Ray cruise the very next day!
On our first cruise we got to see turtles and dolphins and actually got to snorkel with a 25 foot whale shark. It was outstanding! The Captain is excellent and the Crew is very friendly and knowledgeable! The Captain was accommodating to our request for our outing to make the trip very personalized.
On our second night Manta Ray cruise we enjoyed a stunning sunset cruise and tour of the city from the water. Then we snorkeled with the Manta Rays for about 30 minutes. They have all the gear and the Crew was so accommodating. Three of us got in the water and swam with the Rays and our fourth person was a little shy but the Crew made sure she got to see the Rays up close without leaving the boat.
Both trips were truly unforgettable and amazing! The boat is beautiful and comfortable.
Thanks Aloha Kona Tours,
Jim, Jodi, Debye and Larry

Reviewed by: Jane, 2022/07/07It was a beautiful day and the crew was friendly and funny. Gear was provided and they had snacks available before lunch. The guava juice was especially delicious.
The swim itself was fantastic. There were so many colorful fish and one of the crew showed us a starfish. We enjoyed the adventure so much that snorkeling is officially our new favorite hobby.

Kona Luxury Snorkel Sail - No Wiki Sailing Catamaran Private & Shared Charters
BEST Catamaran snorkeling sail!
Reviewed by: J Slayton, 2022/06/30We did the No Wiki Kona LUXURY SAIL, dolphin watching, snorkeling. This was the best Catamaran snorkeling sail we've ever been on! (and we've done quite a few)
The captain and crew were knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive. They found us a fantastic snorkeling spot in a reef corner with LOTS of different fish and turtles and no other boats there at the same time. The breakfast and lunch was really great as well. I loved that they put cushioned chairs on the mesh canvas area up font so that you could sit so comfortably in the best spot on the boat! I would definitely do this again and highly recommend it

Kealakekua Bay Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Rafting Tour - Kona Ocean Experience
Amazing snorkeling adventure!
Reviewed by: Kevin H, 2022/06/19This trip was a wonderful introduction to the great snorkeling in two of the bays on the west coast of Hawaii. Our guide provided all the gear we needed for the water. Our guide was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about local sea life and the culture and history of the coast we explored. As a family, we were novices at snorkeling but our guide stepped us through getting into and out of the water and directed us to the best areas of the bays to explore. Right out of dock, a pod of spinner dolphins crossed in front of the boat! Flying fish appeared along our route and there were many species of fish and many black sea urchins in both bays. The snacks hit the spot and the cultural history of the bays and coastline were very interesting. After the excursion, we felt we were ready to set off on our own snorkling adventure!
