About this tour

With a maximum of 24 guests, this intimate excursion offers excellent viewing opportunities as the crew of diver-naturalists shares their knowledge of Hawai'i's marine life. A hydrophone may be deployed to listen to whale songs when conditions allow. Light refreshments are provided, and guests are welcome to bring their own beverages. Check in at the Kohala Divers shop at 3:30 PM, with the boat departing at 4:00 PM. An optional shuttle is available from select Kohala Coast and Waikoloa resorts.
