The Hawaiian Islands have long been known for their whale sightings. Along with being the major breeding grounds for the magnificent Humpback Whales during the months of December through March, whales such as the Pilot, False Killer Whale, Melon Headed, Pygmy Killer, Beaked and Sperm Whale frequent the Kona waters. And yes, on occasion, a Blue Whale has been sighted. Our guides and onboard library will help you identify and learn about the acrobatic displays of the Humpback Whale, such as a Blow or spout, Roundout, Pec Slap, Head Rise, Tail Slap, Lobtail or Breach.

Dolphins are part of the same family as whales and porpoises (called cetaceans). They are not fish but air-breathing, warm-blooded mammals that nurse their young. The Hawaiian spinner dolphin, Pantropical spotted dolphin, and bottlenose are the species most frequently seen.

Imagine the photo opportunities on the bow of the Dorado II, watching a dolphin Bow Riding or a Humpback breaching.
So, join us on this exciting and memorable Adventure. A half day charter is required or combine the Whale & Dolphin Watch with an incredible Snorkeling trip to Kaleakakua Bay or private beach on a full day charter.

Remember our charters are all inclusive, all you need to bring are your sunglasses, sunscreen and camera!
