About this activity

Meet Apollo, a 41 foot ribcraft purpose built for the ultimate adventure, and the newest member of the Hawaiian Adventures Team. Apollo’s 12.5 meter hull creates a soft, smooth ride to explore the magic of the Kona coast. Triple outboard motors allow for increased safety on the water while also giving the vessel the ability to be quick and nimble. This way, we’ll be able to travel further and spend more time slowed with wildlife. An open viewing platform also means expansive views, and comfortable forward facing saddle seats ensure each guest gets their own space– never having to worry about being positioned the wrong way when we’re on scene with wildlife. Allow Apollo, named after the Greek god of the sun, to illuminate the beauty of the Kona coast while fostering the true spirit of adventure.

Itinerary

Honokohau Marina & Small Boat Harbor

Passing by

Kona is the ultimate whale and wildlife destination. Kona’s calm waters, deep coastlines, and variety of marine life make the region a world-class wildlife location. Our tours leave out of Honokohau Harbor, which has access to both near-shore and pelagic zones. Exploring the near-shore zone, you have the opportunity to see humpbacks during the winter months, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, manta rays, and flying fish. With a US Coast Guard offshore certification, Hawaiian Adventures Kona can also reach the pelagic zone- something very few tours do. The pelagic zone expands the search into waters thousands of feet deep to look for pilot whales, beaked whales, sperm whales, spotted dolphins, whale sharks, and more! Hawaiian Adventures’ tour durations allow for a greater search range, more time with whales, and more wildlife encounters on every tour!
