Every year between December and April the Humpback Whales migrate to the Hawaiian Islands to mate, give birth and nurse their young.
The protected calm waters of the Kona Coast offer the perfect location for viewing these gentle majestic mammals.
Keep an eye on the glass bottom wells as Humpback Whales often make appearances under the boat and are seen in the viewing wells.
It is spectacular to see these gentle giants beneath the surface in their natural habitat.
Our on board naturalist will enlighten you with interesting facts on the Humpback Whales activities and behaviours as well as the other marine animals encountered on this cruise. Other animals we may see on the cruise are pilot whales, dolphins, turtles, sharks, manta rays, tropical fish, coral reef and much more.
