The Kona Coast’s vibrant pelagic zone and nearshore humpback habitat create the unique landscape for an extraordinary phenomenon: Whales year-round! From April to November, embark on our 3-4 hour pelagic whale watch tours, searching for over a dozen resident whale and dolphin species. During the winter from December through March, we shift focus inshore on our 2.5-3 hour humpback whale watches. This time of year brings thousands of humpbacks who have traveled to the Hawaiian Islands to breed and give birth. We’re also on the lookout for nearshore wildlife including Hawaiian spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, Hawaiian monk seals, surface feeding manta rays, hammerhead sharks, and even the occasional whale shark.

We are a family built and operated business that has been running Glassbottom boat tours out of Kailua Bay since 1996. Our Eco-adventure includes a lively narration by an onboard naturalist who will tell you all about Kona’s reef ecosystem as you take in the beauty below. This tour is fun for all ages and the perfect way to see the reef if you do not want to get wet. It is also a great way to learn more about the marine life prior to snorkeling and scuba diving. We also offer private charters. Our boat is perfect for memorials, weddings, family reunions and more!
