Guidekin's take

Look for winter humpback whales along the Kona Coast from a catamaran with shaded seating and onboard restrooms.

The included bar serves cocktails, beer, wine and soft drinks; budget separately for gratuities. 4.54 from 61 reviews at €99 per person for 1h 30m.

In our comparison: #10 of 11 in Whale & Dolphin Watching, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
