We aim to give an authentic experience in a smaller, more personal setting with a maximum of 6 guests per charter, ensuring safety and comfort for all on board.

Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the whale watching tour in Kona?

A: Definitely wear layers! The early morning can be a bit chilly on the water, but once the sun comes up, it gets warm. Also, don’t forget sunscreen and a hat. Footwear should be something non-slip since the boat can get a bit slippery.

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the whale watching tours?

A: No specific age limit! The crew is super accommodating for families. Just make sure your kiddos are comfortable with being on a boat. They do have life jackets for all ages, which puts my mom heart at ease!

Q: How does rescheduling work if the weather's bad?

A: The crew will contact you in case of poor weather conditions. If that's the case, they’ll work with you to find another date that works. They’re pretty flexible and want to make sure you have a great experience!

Just booked the whale watching experience in Kona for my family!

I'm so excited! We’re going on the Ohana Ocean Connections tour next week. Just six of us on the boat, so it should be super personal. I’ve heard they provide snacks and drinks, which is awesome! I hope we see some humpbacks. Anyone got tips for the trip?

Has anyone done the whale watching tour with Ohana Ocean Connections?

Thinking about gifting this experience to my parents. I heard it’s a smaller group, which is nice. How was the experience? Any highlights I should know about?
