Exotic Animal Sanctuary- private tours ONLY by appointment

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.
