Come aboard for a delightful two hour tour of discovery and adventure.
This glass bottom cruise focuses on
the marine mammals and sea life of Kona. Dolphins, whales, manta-rays,
turtles, tropical fish and more inhabit our waters year ‘round.
Along the way our narrator “talks story” about the marine life
and the rich history and points of interest that make up the scenic
Kona Coast.
Enjoy a delicious
buffet style lunch (snacks and juice on the Early Bird Cruise)
and live local entertainement as you discover what makes the Kona
Coast a truly special place.

“It was
a real pleasure joining the Blue Sea Cruises’ Whale Watch and
Glass Bottom Cruise while were vacationing in Kona. The boat provided
ample room to see from virtually anywhere, and there was plenty
of access to the glass-bottomed area. Our hosts took care to point
out sea life as we encountered it. On top of that, the food was
excellent, and the on-board entertainment uplifting. We’ll definitely
return the next time we visit the Big Island.”

Join us for an
unforgetable evening of romance and enchantment. Relax to pleasing
music performed by local artists while taking in one of Kona’s famous
sunsets. Keep an eye out for the local spinner dolphins who are
regular companions on many of our tours. When the sun goes down,
the underwater lights come on. View the underwater vistas and sea
life generally reserved for scuba divers through our large glass
bottom windows. Watch for sea life that may include manta rays,
sharks, turtles, nocturnal tropical fish and lots more.
This delightful
cruise features a delicious pacific rim-style meal, complimentary
Mai Tai and full premium cash bar. Let the magic begin. Let Kona’s
friendliest crew make this an evening to remember.

Blue
Sea Cruises, Inc. does not participate in the activity of allowing
swimmers to enter the water to swim with the dolphins. We believe
this activity harms the natural behavior of the dolphins and interrupts
their much-needed rest during the day.
Studies have shown that Spinner Dolphins are especially vulnerable
to human disturbance. Spinners follow a predictable pattern of traveling
off shore in the later afternoon to dive down and feed on deep scattering
layer animals that rise from their midwater regions towards the
surface at night. In the early morning, spinners move in towards
shore, especially on the leeward sides of the Big Island. After
traveling along the coast during the morning, the spinners go into
a rest period during the day. For additional information please
refer to NOAA
Pacific Islands Regional Office.
