Offshore Blue Water Adventure

4 Hrs – 09:00 to 13:00 –  $175/person (+ tax) – 4~8 people

Take a step out into the big blue. Kona is a very unique location for finding deep water(pelagic) marine life. The blue water adventure begins at Honokohau Marina. Our experienced captains will take you offshore to find larger marine life such as short-finned pilot whales and oceanic whitetip sharks. Our warm tropical waters are home to 20+ different types of marine mammals (dolphins and whales) and some never leave the Big Island.
There is also the opportunity to see fish that can only be found in the deep water, such as pelagic sharks, rays, and game fish we usually see on our plate in our favorite restaurant.
The deep water can be intimidating for some, but the only thing you should really be afraid of is missing out! Our guides are both safe and knowledgeable and have years of experience with blue water adventures.

Depending on how long we spend on blue water animal encounters, we may or may not have time to stop off at a reef site for more snorkeling. Refreshments will be served and then we will begin our return to the marina. The trip back will be fun and exhilarating as we experience the speed and excitement of riding in the most maneuverable boat in the US Navy. On the way back we will hug the shoreline for close-up sightseeing as there are a number of sea caves, lava tubes, and incredible rock formations carved out by the pounding waves.

NOTE: Due to the surf or other conditions, we occasionally need to limit our boat maneuvers for your safety. Also, nature is wild and keeps no schedules, so it is impossible to guarantee any particular wildlife sighting on any given day. That being said, our experienced captain and crew have decades of experience between them and will do all they can to ensure you have a memorable experience.
