Whale Watching Tours

Whale Watching Tours in Kailua-Kona

Every year, more than 20,000 humpback whales return to Hawaii for breeding season, and Ali’i Ocean Tours provides an exceptional opportunity to witness these majestic creatures. Departing from Honokohau Harbor aboard the Hoku Elima, captains maintain contact with other vessels and shore spotters to ensure the best whale sightings.

While on board, guests can enjoy light snacks and refreshments while watching newborn whale calves playfully learning from their mothers or males displaying for potential mates. The tour features a hydrophone system dropped underwater to listen to the incredible whale songs.

With years of experience, the crew shares their vast knowledge and answers questions about humpbacks. Be sure to bring a camera to capture this unforgettable experience. Check-in is at 1:00pm with departure at 1:30pm.
