Jack's Diving Locker : Whale Watch and Dolphin Snorkel Adventures in Kona Hawaii

SNORKEL, DOLPHIN & WHALE-WATCHING CRUISES

Do you watch National Geographic features about the awesome underwater creatures like dolphins or whales and wish that you could be there in person? You can get up close and personal with the friendly mammals that inhabit Kona's coastline year-round!

Imagine watching friendly Hawaiian spinner dolphins catch the wave beneath our bow, imagine them leaping and spinning as they so often do, babies cartwheeling right alongside the mother. Imagine the stately bottlenose dolphins gliding by, and the sound of pilot whales surfacing to breathe as we drift in the warm clear waters of the pacific. Now stop imagining and come see them for yourself!

Kona is home to the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin (Stenella longirostris). These beautiful creatures spend their days close to shore, resting and playing before heading back out to the deep ocean climes to feed at night. They get their name because of the fabulous spins they can perform when jumping out of the water. We are fortunate to have several resident pods here on the Kona coast. Sometimes we also see Spotted Dolphins (Stenella Attenuata) and Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) mixed in with the spinners as well. During the winter months (January-April), Kona is home to the Humpback whales. The whales are oceanic snowbirds and spend their winters here mating and giving birth and enjoying our calm warm water before heading back to Alaska or other cold water for the summer. Kona has year round residents of short-finned Pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) which stay a few miles offshore, sometimes in large pods. Jack's Diving Locker offers several kinds of whale watching and snorkeling adventures to our guests. Meet at our shop at either 8:00am or 1:30pm for a 4 hour cruise. Cost is $125 and includes your snorkeling gear and a light lunch. Bring your camera to be able to remember this enchanting journey. (We require a minimum of 4 riders for this trip)
