About this tour
Waikoloa Deluxe Whale Watch runs during humpback whale season, from December through March, departing from Anaeho'omalu Bay on the Big Island's Kohala Coast. Check-in takes place at the Hawaii Nautical sign in the middle of the beach, where guests meet the captain and crew before boarding. The morning departure uses a powerboat called Holona, while the afternoon departure uses a catamaran called Spirit of Aloha. Both vessels have comfortable seating, shaded areas, and restrooms on board.
If no whales are spotted, guests receive a free re-ride on a future trip. Morning guests are served soft drinks, juice, water, and light snacks. Afternoon guests have access to tropical cocktails, beer, and wine along with light snacks.
A complimentary shuttle runs from the Hilton Waikoloa Village Lower Lobby, but an advance reservation is required for it. Guests without the shuttle should plan to park in the lot near Lava Lava Beach Club. Reef-safe sunscreen applied before boarding, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera are good items to bring.
