Come whale watching upon the deluxe Kanoa II catamaran for a reinvigorating and exciting wildlife experience at sea from Kailua Kona!

Hawaii’s plentiful Big Island is a true sanctuary for wildlife, both on land and in the ocean! The island of Hawaii encompasses 10 of the world’s 14 climate zones, most of which are largely untouched by humans, resulting in a vast array of wildlife that beckons visitors to explore all corners of the Big Island, including underwater! Although the highlight of this Big Island whale watching tour is spotting humpback whales, there is also the chance to see spinner dolphins, pilot and sperm whales, manta rays, sea turtles, and more! When it comes to wildlife, the Big Island does not hold back!

From December to March every year, more than 8,000 humpback whales make their way from their Alaska feeding grounds to the Hawaiian Islands to breed, birth, and nurse their young. This phenomenon offers visitors the fascinating opportunity to catch a glimpse of these gentle giants in their natural habitat, and there is no better place to watch for whales than from the pristine waters surrounding the Big Island with a naturalist on board to guide your observations! During this Body Glove whale watching cruise from Kailua Kona, you will even have the chance to listen to hauntingly beautiful whale songs through the boat’s underwater hydrophone! Humpback whale songs are some of the most complex vocalisations made by any animal, and to hear their singing is an experience that is sure to stay with you for a lifetime.

From the thrill of spotting an enormous whale breaching the water right before your eyes to the joy of hearing soulful whale songs, this Big Island whale watching cruise combines the natural excitement of encountering rare wildlife up close with all the comfort of being on a large catamaran! You can also rest assured of whale sightings during your Big Island whale watching cruise, as Body Glove offers a guarantee to see whales or join them again for free!
