Kohala Sunset
Big Island Whale Watch
Relax with a refreshing cocktail in hand as you cruise the stunning Kohala Coast aboard Ocean Sports’ comfortable catamaran. During Hawaii’s whale season (December through March), you may spot majestic humpback whales as they visit the islands for their annual migration.
This scenic sunset cruise is the perfect way to end the day. Enjoy panoramic views of the coastline bathed in golden light, savor a selection of bar snacks, and sip a complimentary beverage while soaking in the tropical atmosphere.
While whale sightings are not guaranteed on this tour, the tranquil ocean setting and spectacular sunset make it an unforgettable start to your evening in paradise.
The optional Whale Song Snorkel Package adds time in the water so guests can listen for humpback whale songs while snorkeling. A snorkel set, fins and an optional life jacket are included with the upgrade.
Humpback whales are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. During the early and late parts of the season, when whale activity may be less consistent, the crew may also explore waterfalls along the coast to add more scenery to the excursion.
Yes. The boat travels outside the protected waters of Hilo Bay, where wind, ocean spray and natural boat movement are part of the experience. Light rain is also common in Hilo, so guests should dress for changing marine conditions and expect some exposure to water.
