Fun Boat Tours & Charters
Hawaii Private Boat Charters
Charter a boat of your own for a fishing, snorkeling, or sightseeing trip with a small group, or hire a private catamaran for a large group luxury sail event perfect for a corporate event or party. Professional crews will take care of your every need and provide you with any gear and assistance you might need. Whether it's a family fishing trip, a group snorkel among vibrant reefs, or just a relaxing sunset cruise with cocktails and appetizers, you'll find a private boat charter perfect for you.
Submarine & Glassbottom Boat
Perfect for families with small children, these ocean adventures let you see the colorful underwater world of the Big Island without having to use any equipment or even get yourself wet! The glass bottom boats provide relaxing cruises as you look through the viewing ports, perfect for kids of all ages. The submarine ride allows you to dive down to depths even scuba can't take you, so you can see Hawaii's marine life in its natural environment.
Fishing Charters & Tours
Embark on a fishing tour off the west coast of the Big Island to catch big game sport fish such as mahi mahi (dolphinfish), ahi (tuna), or marlin! Take a shorter half-day tour or spend the full day fishing on these shared and private charters. Not interested in angling? Look for ride-along options to relax on the boat, taking in the scenic views of Hawaii all around you. Whether you bag the big one or just relax on board, you're bound to have a good time on one of these Big Island fishing tours.
Day Sailing Cruise from Hilo
Enjoy these relaxing, scenic boat cruises around the beautiful Hilo coastline. A relatively new area of land, the beautiful, lush environment of Hilo's coast can be only seen from a boat, as there are few beaches in the area. Perfect for a day out, these small group tours are a great way to unwind while familiarizing yourself with the Big Island's stunning coast.
Whale Watching (Dec - Apr)
Every winter between the months of December and April, humpback whales migrate to the warm, Pacific waters of Hawaii to calve and nurse their newborns. If you're lucky, you'll be able to see the whales play offshore just by standing on the coast and looking out to the ocean! For a more reliable experience, book a whale watching tour, where you'll sail out into the water with an experienced captain and crew to find whales and observe them from a a close, but respectable, distance.

Great for kids!

2021/11/28 Families with Young Children Hawaii Visitor

Rainy Tour

2021/11/06 Friends Rose

Was a good tour! Wish it was a sunny day, but still a bit of an adventure. Basically rained on us the whole tour! Also wish we would have gone further down the Hamakua Coast line!

Amazing Marine Naturalist
