Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Great ride and lots of whale sitings

Reviewed by: TEACUP202

We had an awesome time and saw more tails and fins than we had hoped for. We loved the running commentary on whales and learned lots. Thanks to the entire crew for a wonderful cruise, even though the waters were choppy. We highly recommend this tour!

Whale watching was great.

We had a great time on the morning whale watching cruise. The catamaran was large and comfortable. The crew was extremely knowledgeable. We saw a few whales and happened upon one bottle nose dolphin.

Reviewed by: tma

I was able to catch a glimpse of it three times from a distance. However, it was too far away to capture in a photo, and it was just for a moment. Still, I enjoyed the cruise. The staff couldn't speak any Japanese, but they were very friendly. Later, during the dolphin watching in Oahu, I was lucky enough to see whales up close several times, which was great.

遠くにチラッと3回ほど確認できました。

We saw whales but the boat was so-so

Reviewed by: Anonymous

We've been on multiple whale tours over the years. We saw multiple whales but the boat was crowded and pretty dated. The microphone didn't work for the first 30 minutes and they never used the hydrophone after mentioning that they had one. Definitely not the "spacious deck with ample seating for all passengers and first class amenities" as advertised. The Kawaihae Harbor location is setup weird. After arriving and checking in we had to board a bus for a 5 minute ride to the boat. Every cruise in the past allowed us to park and then walk on without a shuttle bus. The crew was friendly.

The canopy zipline rocked!

Reviewed by: K.L.M.

My entire family had a blast zip lining through the tree canopies! Chris and Cassie were our guides and they were hospitable, informative and patient. It was our first time zip lining in such an environment-hundreds of feet in the air and we felt completely comfortable and confident in their hands. They provided us with water and snacks midway and at the conclusion of our adventure, including freshly picked bananas! They shared knowledge about the vegetation and geographical landmarks, as well as, insight into local eateries! Not only did we enjoy the various zip lines, but there were also suspension bridges and a final rappel to the ground. You also get to ride in a really cool armory jeep of some sort as you travel to and from the excursion. It surpassed our expectations and we were so glad to have chosen that adventure during our travels on The Big Island.

Kohala Coast Guided Stand Up Paddle Adventure from Waikoloa - Hulakai

A little bit challenging, but fun!

Reviewed by: Teri and Norty

The voucher we printed was a little confusing. It had the correct zip code and address, but the wrong location in one area, and the correct location in another. Leave early so you can find the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Hulakai Beach Hut. It is NOT at the Waikoloa Resort. We got there right on time and met Chris at the hut. He was very nice and friendly, low key and patient. I guess he's done this a lot with us novices! The cove was flat and glassy, and easy to get back on the board if you fall. After some practice in the cove, he lead us out past the breakers into a little more challenging water, but still not horribly choppy. Turned around and headed back into the cove. I had an easier time, so it may be more difficult for some people than others. Relax as best you can, keep looking up and you should be well on your way!

The captain worked hard to search for whales, but we could only see them from a distance and had a hard time spotting them up close.

When we were turning the boat back, we saw a pod of whales breaching, and the other passengers told the captain, but it seemed like we were out of time, which was very disappointing.

船長さんが頑張ってクジラを探し回ってくれましたが、遠くからしか見れず近距離ではなかなかみることができませんでした。

Excited by the sight of the humpback whale. ざとうくじらの姿に興奮

Reviewed by: Kamerin

I participated on the last day. In the morning, we got on the boat, and there were many people from overseas who were excited, shouting "Yay!!!" when the whales appeared. My experience during the New Year was just the beginning, but from now until around March, humpback whales will be migrating south to Hawaii, so they can be seen quite well. The lookout staff and the captain pointed out, "Over there!" As we moved closer, we saw a mother and calf, along with various other forms, spouting water and showing their tails as they dove... Towards the end, they chased the boat and swam underneath it. Such an experience is hard to come by, but those who are prone to seasickness should be careful.

A must-see in winter on the Big Island of Hawaii!
You can definitely see a large group of humpback whales if you join a tour.
However, if you don't go on a Japanese tour, there will be no explanations in English, and there was no consideration for Japanese speakers as they spoke very quickly.
There is no transportation provided outside of the Waikoloa area.
Just a heads up.

The cruise was just wonderful. とにかくクルーズが気持ちよかった

Reviewed by: しんしん

The whales didn't come as close as I had expected, but I was able to see many of them. We were blessed with good weather, and the feeling of cutting through the calm sea was incredibly refreshing. The view of the mountains from the sea was also fantastic. The staff did not speak Japanese, and about 80% of the participants were foreigners, so a basic understanding of English is necessary to comprehend the situation. Additionally, there was a notification about meeting in the lobby for pickup, but we actually gathered at the car drop-off area just outside the hotel entrance, so be careful about that.

クジラは、思っていたより近くに現れなかったけれど、数はたくさん見ることができました。天候に恵まれて、穏やかな海の上を風をきって進む感じがなんともいえなく爽快でした。海から見える山の景色も最高です。スタッフは日本語を話せず、参加者も８割は外国の方なので、状況を理解する程度の英語力は必要です。またピックアップの際、ロビーという連絡がありましたが実際にはホテルのエントランスを出てすぐの車寄せのところで乗り合わせていたので、注意が必要です。

Reviewed by: キャラ

I participated on December 9.
It might be a bit early for whale watching, as they appeared briefly in the distance, disappeared when we approached by boat, and then reappeared again when we moved away.
Since it was the beginning of the season, I wondered if the captain wasn't familiar with the points, so I thought a bit more patience was needed.
Unfortunately, I couldn't understand much since no Japanese was spoken, making it a disappointing tour.
