About this tour
Cruise 12 miles along the Kona Coast aboard the Kanoa II - a 65-foot luxury catamaran - on this 2.5-hour historical lunch tour. An expert guide narrates the coastline's rich past as you pass landmarks including Ahu'ena Heiau, the ancient Holua Slide, and Kuamo'o Battlefield, with the turnaround point at Captain Cook's Monument in Kealakekua Bay.
Lunch wraps and non-alcoholic beverages are served onboard, with a full-service premium bar available for those who want to add a cocktail. Live Hawaiian music accompanies the return journey. During whale season (roughly December through April), keep an eye on the water for Humpback whale sightings along the route.
Gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan meals can be arranged by calling at least 48 hours before departure. Check in 30 minutes early at Ilima Court Shopping Center on Kuakini Highway in Kailua-Kona, where free parking is available. The cruise is open to all ages - children 6-17 ride at a reduced rate, and infants five and under are free.
