What to expect
The adventure begins the moment you set foot on our vessel! Our tours are set up safari style which means from the start of the tour we are going to be scanning the gorgeous and dramatic coastline of Kona for any type of wildlife to observe and interact with. With the rapid and deep drop off of the sea floor along the coast, we have the potential to see shallow water animals as well as pelagic (deep, open ocean) marine life. While nature is unpredictable and we cannot guarantee any specific interactions or observations, we have the potential to see sea turtles, various fish species, dolphin and whale species, sharks, and manta rays. We’ll have four hours on the water to provide you with the best experience imaginable. Please note we go into deep water for open ocean wildlife on nearly every tour & the search for pelagic life can take some time. Please note you should be able to swim, have a degree of athleticism, & climb up a ladder to participate in the water. This may not be the tour for beginners or some children. *Please review our cancelation policy & if you are joining from a cruise ship you need to confirm with them 24 hours prior they will let you off of the ship.

We had an amazing time! What a unique and memorable experience. Swimming with whales and dolphins all in the same day was an unexpected pleasure. They were very knowledgeable about all the ocean species that we may encounter and gave us clear instructions on how to behave in their presence. Conservation of the ocean and it's inhabitants was of foremost importance to the crew. We would definitely recommend this adventure and can't wait to join the Ocean Safari again!I’ve been on a lot of ocean tours on the Kona side and by far Kaimana has been the best.

Great vibes on the boat-professional and fun! Would highly recommend for a top notch time on and in the water.Kudos to the crew for doing everything they could do try and make our adventure as best as possible.

Kudos to the crew for doing everything they could do try and make our adventure as best as possible. We didn’t get to see as much as I had hoped but that’s the way the ocean goes. Safety was top priority and the crew did the best they could. Can’t ask for anything else. I’ll be back and will book again in hopes of more wildlife.
