New review for Kona Ocean Adventures, Big island of Hawaii

5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 27, 2012 NEW
I am a professional concierge and destination manager, here in Hawaii. I have sent several guests out with Danny and Laure and the responses are always the same! "What a fantastic crew!" "Personalized every detail for our family or group." Can't wait to go out with them again." I will always send my guests to Danny and Laure. Thank you so much for taking care of my guests, making my job easier, and creating lasting memories for each and every one of them!

About our Dolphin trip Kona Hawaii:


We depart from the Honokohau Harbor on the dolphin adventure. Our boat captain take you to various Spinner Dolphin resting areas, in order to make their acquaintance! Sometimes the Hawaiian spinner dolphins will be spotted right after leaving the harbor and other times we may travel north or south along the Kona coast.
Your adventure to Kailua Kona, Hawaii, would not be complete if you missed out on enjoying the aquamarine life that abounds just off shore.

Kona Ocean Adventures
can show you wild Hawaiian dolphins— every day of the year— providing fantastic entertainment for you and your family. The pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins that we spend each day with usually has over 200 and sometimes we guess that there are close to 500 dolphins that we can snorkel with.

surrounded by nature is simply an unmatched experience.

What our guests Say:

“One of the most awesome, magical days of my life!”

5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2012 NEW

This was my first trip out with KOA for a dolphin swim and it was awesome! The boat is roomy and extremely comfortable and got us to our dolphin site in record time without the intense bumping of the smaller rubber inflatable boats I usually go out on.
We saw mantas, whales and swam with the wild dolphins and there were hundreds!! I wasn't rushed once I was in the water and the safety briefing was professional and brief! It was a fabulous day with Capt Danny and Laure, who exceeded my expectations as hosts with genuine Aloha and Hawaiian hospitality, yummy snacks, and an on board bathroom and fresh water shower to rinse off in between dives! Thank You Kona Ocean Adventures for my magical dolphin swim!!!

"I went with some friends on a half day boat trip with Kona Ocean Adventures/Captain Danny, outside Kona, Big Island/Hawaii. We had a great day, seeing a lot of whales (and bottlenose dolphins) full of laughter and joy. Getting great service and a lot of good stories from Danny.
I can highly recommend going out with them!

Whale Watching with Kona ocean Adventures, Big island of Hawaii

Whale Watching

 

ck out this cool video: 


Humpback whale watching in Kailua-Kona, the Big Island, Hawaii

the Humpback whales are returning from their feeding grounds in Southeastern Alaska.K They come here not to escape the cold but to give birth to their young. When a calf is born, they have no blubber insulation to keep them warm in the cold waters of Alaska. Therefore, the annual migration of the humpback whales is the longest known migration of any mammal. They seek out breeding waters of approximately 75 degrees.
Our Whale watching trips are exciting from the moment we leave the Marina. We never know just where they will be. We always head for the Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary which is just a 25-minute ride. Our fast boat is able to get to the whales quickly so you have more time observing them.
Every year between December and April, Humpback whales journey over 3,500 miles to Hawaii where they congregate to breed, calf and nurse their young.

Our Whale Watching Adventure offers you a rare opportunity to view and experience this phenomenon.



Join us on our comfortable and spacious custom 30 ft boat and make this a vacation of a lifetime!  Captain Danny Scott, Laure and their crew will astound you with facts about these gentle giants as they play, court and teach their young. You'll hear singing Humpback whales and you may also see

Spinner Dolphins, pilot whales, manta rays, sea turtles and more with Kona Ocean Adventures.


While on board enjoy a variety of snack, drinks and local fruits.
