CRUISE DESCRIPTION

Join us aboard the Kona Star as we go in search of the magnificent Humpback Whale. Nothing compares to the awe-inspiring sight of a 50-ton whale breaching the surface and soaring majestically back into the ocean with a splash!

The Kona Star is the perfect platform for spotting and observing these amazing animals with a 360 degree view of the entire area from the flybridge. With a limit of 6 guests, you won’t be clamoring over 50-100 other passengers trying to get a look. If you’re on one side of the boat and the whales are on the other, good luck.

Make it a feast on the water

Every cruise gets better with something good to share. Pre-order a board or add a mixologist when you book — we’ll have it ready when you step aboard Waikīkī.

Charcuterie Boards

An abundant spread of artisan cheeses, cured meats, marinated olives, roasted nuts and fresh seasonal fruit — beautifully arranged and built to graze on while Diamond Head drifts by. The board everyone gathers around.
